Description

Sitting on the crest of the northwestern hills of the Temecula Valley is one of the oldest wineries in the area, boasting incredible views, a large tasting room, a high-quality gift shop and a new gourmet restaurant. Callaway makes over 20 wines, with most available for sampling.

Callaway Winery was founded in 1969 by Ely Callaway, who went on to gain fame and fortune in the world of golf with his signature golf clubs. He was one of the first to discover that wine grapes, with proper care and fermentation techniques, could produce quality wine when grown in the Temecula area.

Enter the tasting room via the outside patio or through the well-stocked gift shop. The tasting bar is over 60 feet long, and the view of the valley and vineyards from the wall of windows behind it is a bonus for customers. There are a few tables and chairs both inside and out for those preferring a sit-down tasting experience.

The wines are approachable, flavorful, fruit-forward and food-friendly. By using unusually cold temperatures during fermentation, the wines retain their natural fruit flavors and aromas.

The vineyards are farmed using sustainable agricultural practices that protect the land from excessive use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.

Callaway Vineyards was more than just a fantastic organic setting, it held some of the most elegant selection of wines which I truly appreciated. Not only was the selection massive, so was the tasting room. I felt small walking through the facility. But that is not to say that I did not feel welcomed, the staff was incredible and was able to guide my taste buds to the perfect bottle.
