If you’re looking for the best wine tasting Temecula Tour, our absolute favorite is Best Coast Tours. We’ve been visiting Temecula Wine Country for over 15 years and it’s our favorite destination for fun day trip or quick overnight staycation.
We have 3 dogs, and organizing a dog sitter can be a bit of a hassle, so over the years, we have opted to do more day trips. I discovered Best Coast Tours when planning a Temecula birthday trip with my girlfriends and the experience was so incredibly convenient, that I’ve been using them ever since.
Temecula Private Driver
Best Coast Tours is so convenient because they provide pick-up in Orange County, San Diego, or Temecula. We live in Orange County, and I spent a lot of time researching private drivers who would pick us up and drop us off in Orange County. This makes the entire experience of spending a day in wine country incredibly stress-free.
Pre-Planned Wine Tasting Temecula Tour
If it is your first time visiting Temecula and you’re not sure where to visit, Best Coast Tours offers a pre-planned Wine Tasting Temecula Tour from Orange County that visits 4 wineries and makes time for an optional lunch. The best part is all the wine tastings are included in the price, which starts at only $154! Additionally, the visit to Oak Mountain Winery (one of my favorites) also includes an amazing cheese and charcuterie board. Wine tastings are typically around $20-$25 and about $20 for the charcuterie board so this is a really great deal.
If you choose to do the pre-planned wine tasting Temecula tour with Best Coast Tours here is the itinerary:
Somerset Winery
Unveil the art of winemaking with tastings and a captivating Production Warehouse Tour at Somerset Winery, all included in the tour price. Discover the craftsmanship behind Somerset Winery’s exceptional wines, cultivated with care and passion.

Hourly Rates
Another thing I really like about Best Coast Tours is you can also book them on an hourly rate. If you have your own itinerary planned and you just want to hire an hourly driver, this is a great option. We’ve been to Temecula so many times, I now plan my own itinerary. To inquire about their hourly rates with pickup from your home, just send them a message for their current rates.
Craft Brewery Tours
If wine isn’t quite your thing, but you’ve stumbled across this article, Best Coast Tours also offers two Craft Brewery Tours. These are available in both Orange County and San Diego. This is a great idea for men bachelor and birthday parties!
If you’re planning a trip to Temecula Wine Country, I highly recommend Joseph with Best Coast Tours for an easy stress free experience. All of his tours include bottled water and light snacks like granola bars for the drive up which is also super convenient. If you’re new to Temecula, he also gives great talking points on the history of the area.
