Summer is a magical time here in Wine Country with hot days and magical evenings and so much to do! ~ Its definitely worth at the least a two or three day trip here to Domaine Chardonnay to recharge, unwind, and have a little fun out in wine country while you are at it!
For those of you looking for a swimming pool…Ours is in our future building plans, albeit a few years out still… but.. in the meantime… for those of you who aren’t familiar with all the amenities Wine Country has to offer, you will be pleased to know that some of our local resort & winery pools offer day passes to outside guests!
Here are our favorites for you to check out!

And for the active outdoors couple, the vineyard landscape on our own property is gorgeous right now with its acres of grapevines budding out, perfect for taking a morning stroll, or a good 1 hour trek through the vines. There are also hiking trails in the nearby hills, on the Santa Rosa Plateau and Lake Skinner.
For those who want a little more casual exercise, Temecula E-Bike Rentals is just 2 doors down from us and will come drop off and pick up bikes here at Domaine right to your room’s front door! Temecula also offers a few beautiful golf courses open to visitors, and several wonderful day spa options as well.
Probably what Temecula Wine Country is most known for, besides the wineries… is hot air balloons! Several companies offer daily morning sun rise tours over the grapevines- the views are so incredibly gorgeous from up there and the ride is worth doing at least once in your life! We recommend A Grape Escape as one of the best in the valley and they’ll give our hotel clients 10% off.
