temecula
Temecula is a famous wine country in Southern California.
It is about an hour's drive from LA and San Diego.
Although it’s not as famous as Napa Valley in North Carolina,
But the victory lies in the simplicity and tranquility.
Since it is a wine country, you must go to wine tasting!
Wilson Creek Winery
The winery is divided into two tasting areas, indoor and outdoor.
If you want to taste wine, then the indoor tasting area is for you.
If you are taking a stroll with your baby, have a drink by the way,
Then I suggest you go to the outdoor tasting area.
There are several large lawns outdoors, which are very suitable for children to be crazy.
After tasting, you can also walk to the plantation behind.
Although this plantation is small,
But the effect of taking pictures is superb!
