A Perfect Weekend in Temecula

Array

Rolling vineyards. Sun-drenched afternoons. A cozy inn tucked among the oaks. If you're dreaming of a weekend escape that blends outdoor adventure, local flavor, and just the right amount of indulgence, Temecula is calling, and Temecula Creek Inn is the perfect place to settle in and explore it all.

Whether you’re a wine lover, golf enthusiast, or simply looking to reset in nature, here’s how to make the most of a perfect weekend in Temecula.

Friday: Arrival + Sippin’ & Chippin’

As you arrive at Temecula Creek Inn and wind your way past hundred-year-old oaks, you’ll feel the pace of life slow. Check into your room overlooking the Chef’s Garden and Butterfly Habitat. A serene corner of the property where wild pollinators flutter through native blooms and our culinary team harvests seasonal herbs and produce for your plate.

Unpack, breathe in the fresh air, and kick off your stay with Sippin’ & Chippin’, our Friday evening tradition and a favorite among guests. Complimentary for overnight guests, this casual event includes a handcrafted cocktail on the house, access to our short game area, and one-on-one time with a PGA pro who’s on hand to chat about your game and offer a few helpful pointers. Whether you’re an avid golfer or a curious beginner, it’s a relaxed and welcoming way to ease into the weekend.

Wrap up your first evening with dinner on the patio at Corkfire Kitchen, our on-site restaurant that celebrates bold, seasonal flavors. Pair a farm-fresh entrée with a local Temecula wine and soak in the ambiance, a perfect prelude to the weekend ahead.

Saturday: Sunrise Yoga, Wineries,
and Old Town Strolls

Start your morning with Saturday yoga at The Meadows, an open-air class offered complimentary for guests. With birdsong in the background and mountain views surrounding you, it’s the ideal way to stretch, center, and set a peaceful tone for the day.

After a hearty breakfast at Corkfire Kitchen, it’s time to explore the Temecula Valley Wine Country a sun-kissed region home to more than 40 award-winning wineries.

First stop: Danza Del Sol Winery. Located along the De Portola Wine Trail, Danza is known for approachable, Mediterranean-style wines and sweeping vineyard views. Their Viognier and Syrah are standout favorites, and the warm, laid-back tasting room makes you feel like part of the family.

Next, make your way to Peltzer Winery, a rustic-chic destination that combines a working farm with small-batch wine production. Sip a chilled rosé or bold Zinfandel while wandering through the vintage décor, artisan market, and vineyard grounds. Don’t miss their seasonal sangrias — or a photo op in front of the tractor.

In the afternoon, head back toward town for a leisurely stroll through Old Town Temecula. This historic district is lined with wooden boardwalks, antique shops, tasting rooms, and local boutiques. Pop into Temecula Olive Oil Company for a tasting flight, grab a scoop at À La Minute, or settle in at a rooftop bar for people-watching and craft cocktails.

As the golden hour light settles over the hills, return to Temecula Creek Inn and unwind on your private balcony, feet up, wine glass in hand, listening to the hum of crickets and gentle breeze through the trees.

Sunday: Golf at the Stone House + Brunch Vibes

There’s no better way to wrap up a Temecula weekend than with a round of golf at The Stone House Course, one of three nines at Temecula Creek Golf Club. Carved into the natural terrain, this championship-level course offers oak-studded fairways, elevation changes, and views that make every swing feel cinematic.

Early risers will love the quiet of a morning tee time, especially as the course winds past the historic Stone House, built in the 1800s and now a cherished part of the landscape. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just here for the views, the experience is as relaxing as it is rewarding.

After your round, head back to the Inn for a well-earned Sunday brunch. Corkfire Kitchen serves up comfort classics with a seasonal twist, think Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast, with mixed berries, snow sugar and super crème or classic Chicken & Waffles with hot honey.

Take one last stroll around the grounds before checkout. Visit the Butterfly Habitat to spot monarchs, skippers, and swallowtails dancing through the blooms. Or spend a few quiet moments under the shade of the oaks, just listening to birdsong, to wind, to nothing at all.
