The Temecula Valley has been dubbed the "tourists’ secret paradise." Just 20 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, the area offers a Mediterranean climate perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Golfing, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and hot air ballooning are just some of the activities available in and around Temecula.

Antique collectors and window shoppers will take a step back in time wandering the streets of Old Town Temecula as they view rustic buildings, sidewalks and storefronts reminiscent of the historic old west. The Temecula Wine Country is worth a trip. Rolling hills are covered with vineyards and dotted with wineries. Each vintner offers a singular spot for wine tasting, a tour or a picnic. From the experienced wine connoisseur to those just starting their collections, this is the place to be.

 Del Mar  Racing and Fairgrounds on the Pacific Ocean just north of San Diego, offers a spectacular setting for a day at the races. The weather is great and even for non-gamblers this makes for a great day trip.
