Spring break is here and if you miss that feeling of carefree abandon and going on a road trip...then read on my friends for stops 2-4 in Temecula Wine Country in gorgeous Southern Califormia.
In my last post, we arrived in Temecula Wine Country around 10 AM and visited Thornton Winery.
11:30 AM - Briar Rose Winery
Just around the corner, and maybe 8 minutes from Thornton Winery, this upscale boutique, by reservation only winery takes itself seriously... and for good reason. Their amazing wines ranging from $28 –- $1,300 and will knock your socks off. It’s a special experience from start to finish from the Snow White Cottage theme, to the smooth, complex wines. Check out http://www.briarrosewinery.com/ for hours and reservations.

1 PM - Ponte Winery (See photo above) - Time for lunch. Just about 10 minutes from Briar Rose you simply must stop in at the Smokehouse Restaurant at Ponte Winery where you will sit out among the vineyards. Views, menu, and hospitality are incredible. Great wines for every palate and plate. You’ll want to linger for a while and after lunch enjoy their wonderful gift shop - one of the best in wine country. Reservations a must on the weekends!

3:00 PM – Keyways Winery -The only wholly female owned winery in the So Cal area, this winery is on De Portola Wine Trail, about 15 minutes from Ponte. You'll quickly notice the terrain changes from your Rancho California Road to one that focuses on more of an equestrian feel on the DePortola side. Gorgeous, relaxing, unique is what makes the area and this particular winery worth the drive. The wines are fabulous: the décor is thoughtful and engaging. The best bathrooms in wine country - almost art like in concept! This owner knows details. The grounds give off a Zen vibe, and when this winery showcases local musicians indoors or outdoors, guests find themselves caught up in the moment. Truly a memorable experience.
