Temecula, California: wine-country getaway package

Napa, shmappa. Skip the long drive and head instead to Southern California’s own wineries lightly peppering our region from Malibu on down to San Diego. One of the more winery-dense areas is Temecula. If you’re looking for a lure, Temecula Creek Inn offers a package with a stay, tickets to wineries and lots of opportunities to taste-test.

Deal: Here’s the scoop on the Wine Country Getaway package: For $335 and up per night (pre-tax and based on double occupancy), you and your companion get a room, a bottle of local wine, breakfast, a picnic lunch, a regional wine-accompanied dinner at the hotel’s Temet Grill and tickets to select local wineries. You’ll visit three wineries; Falkner Winery, Leonese Cellars and Stuart Cellars are among those chosen for guests’ packages.

This is a good value, considering all the components. A regular room normally starts at $149 (pre-tax), the dinner is valued at $100 per person (excluding tax and gratuity but including regional wine), and the picnic is valued at $40 for two.

When: Now, or later: There’s no expiration date in sight for this offer.

Caveat: Apart from the wine with dinner, beverages are not included with this package. Neither are taxes nor gratuities included.

Connect/disconnect: WiFi is available in rooms for $9.95 per night.
