Monte De Oro Winery

In Temecula, Monte De Oro Winery pours from a large hilltop tasting room overlooking the valley, with three interior tasting bars and an outdoor patio facing the vineyards. The estate program leans bold reds and crisp whites, anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot alongside Sauvignon Blanc and other bright whites in the portfolio. Standard tastings run as walk-in flights priced around $25 for six pours or $30 for a premium nine-pour option, and the winery notes that reservations are not required for typical visits.
