Plan Your Self Guided
|
San Diego is not just about beaches and Sea World anymore. Why not get out in the countryside and squeeze in a little wine tasting on your vacation. To really immerse yourself in San Diego wine country, find a bed and breakfast in the historic town of Julian and leave the city stress behind.
Please note: it might be a good idea to call ahead before you visit to see if the wineries you are interested in still have the same wine tasting hours.
Even though Temecula Valley is actually in Riverside County, it is a very popular day trip from San Diego for going wine tasting. It's about 90 minutes away. See about
Temecula wine tours.
