Callaway Vineyard & Winery
Callaway Vineyard & Winery was the first winery to plant roots in Temecula Valley, and its hilltop perch still delivers, with panoramic views of rolling vineyards and sunsets that draw a crowd. Taste estate-grown wines in a tasting room that looks out on the vines, then head to Meritage, the on-site restaurant, for a seasonal farm-to-table menu.
