So last week we had a very different type of wine tour. Most of the wine tours we do here in Temecula are bachelorette parties or birthdays.
In this case our main guest told us he wanted to surprise his girlfriend during our tour and propose to her!
He invited his and her family out on the wine tour. She just thought it was a get together for the Christmas holidays!
None the less, we took charge and planed out the day.
The main guest had an airplane lined up that had a banner flying behind it. This read "Chris Loves Amanda" (names of the main guests).
We found a really nice spot at Callaway Winery that would be perfect for the airplane flyover and photos etc.
We had to lure Amanda (his girlfriend) out to a pretty spot without her getting suspicious.
The below video is a documentary of the entire process. Can't say it's perfect but we hope you enjoy it!
What do you think she said? Yes or No?? :)

So here is a video taken on December 8, 2018. It shows a little bit about the lunch portion of our tour that day. We were set up on the VIP lunch area overlooking the De Portola wine trail in Temecula. We had 3 tours at the same time for lunch. Had a great time with all of our great guests. Just so happened that all 3 groups were celebrating birthdays.
Crazy how the weather can go from literally 45 and raining heavily to 75 and sunny just 3 days later. What a picture perfect day. Couldn't ask for a better day that's for sure.
On another tour just about 1 hour after this video was shot we had the opportunity to take out a man who proposed to his girlfriend during one of our tours. He obviously surprised her and had both the now bride to be's family as well as his family there to witness the special occasion. To respect the families privacy we will wait to get permission before posting the long form video but can't wait for you all to see it!
In any case what a great weekend we had out on the Temecula wine tour trail.
We hope you enjoy the video!
Want a truly one of a kind wine experience? Try our extremely popular 3:30pm - 8:00pm sunset winery tours!
For the Saturday 3:30 - 8:00pm Sunset tours we do something different than your typical 3 winery get in and get out type of wine tasting tour. This is becoming our most popular package. Think of it more as a fun night out with tons of wine, food, music, dancing, and more!
On the Sunset tours you will visit 2 wineries but stay almost double the amount of time so you will have more time to be with your group and get a more at each stop! We will go to the first winery Ultimate Vineyards (formerly Maurice Carrie Winery) where you will be there for 1.5 hours or so. We will have reserved seating in a private barrel room with tons of wine and play music with mood lighting in a very cool setting. It’s a super fun vibe! Get a fun mini tour and barrel taste (if available), Charcuterie board, and wine tastings.
Then we end up at Saturday nights most happening winery, Lorimar Winery, were you will have a reserved table with your own server on the patio with a live concert with plenty of dancing! Usually is a classic rock type cover band playing all the fun hits but varies depending on the Saturday. Each member of your group will get a $35.00 credit good towards anything on the menu. Wine, Beer, and good Food and did we mention DANCING! We generally are there for about 2 hours. Super nice, classy, fun, yet relaxed and unique! Inquire for more details

The Temecula Limo Company
There are obviously tons of limousine companies out there. We would like to take a moment to talk about the differences between a limousine aka 'transportation' company and a wine tour company like ourselves
Limo companies typically will charge you by the hour to charter their vehicles. That typically includes a driver who will take you anywhere you want. The driver will generally sit in the car while you are at your destination and wait for your call to come drive up and pick you up to take you to the next place. Not much interaction other than opening and closing a door for you. Not at all saying that is bad just stating the obvious.
Limo companies typically will not have a tour guide that sets up your wine tasting, sets up lunches, gives tours of a facility, serve appetizer platters, etc. They are there to just basically get you from point A to B on time in a nice vehicle. Uber on steroids!
The Temecula Wine Tour Company
Wine Tour Companies may have limousines in their fleet, party buses etc. While they serve as transportation they also do a lot more than just drive you to your destination an dump you off.
We can't speak for all wine tour companies. But some of the things we do differently than just pick you up and drop you off would include
- Decorating your bus based on the occasion. Example: A bachelorette party. You can see more info on our bachelorette parties by going here. We will spend a long time decorating your vehicle, typically a party bus based on your theme.
- Serving champagne to your guests in the party bus itself. Our guides will pop open a bottle of some bubbly and pour you a glass while you are on your way to your destination
- Taking photos for our guests while inside your party bus to save the memories forever
- Going inside each winery with your group to set up and pre-pay for your wine tasting tickets - which are always included with each tour
- Taking photos of your guests at each winery and making sure everything runs smoothly inside each winery so that you don't have to worry about it yourself
- Set up your lunch in a beautiful scenic setting. We will have your lunch set up and ready by the time you arrive at your last winery. No worry about finding a place to sit or set up. We have it handled!
Long story short. We are not just here to drive you to a winery and dump you off while we go sit and read a book in our limo and wait for your call to come pick you up. We go with you and go out of our way to ensure you are shown a one of a kind wine tasting experience that is organized and most of all FUN! We don't charge by the hour. So there is never a worry about going over in time or getting charged extra because we go over by 15 minutes.
If you are looking for a ride to a winery and just do your own thing that is obviously your choice. If you are going to do that might as well just hire Uber
But if you are looking for an experience not just a ride you certainly would want to hire a Temecula Wine Tour company instead of a transportation company to show you around in wine Country!
So you may have seen our Temecula wine tour guides out at the wineries wearing kilts! People often ask us why do we wear them, more often ask us what is under them (LOL)
But the story behind our tour guides and Kilts is pretty simple...
Almost all of our guides happen to be Scottish. We like to have fun and want our guests to have a fun time so most of our tour guides happen to wear kilts!
What is the correlation between Rockin' Wine Tours and Kilts? To be honest not much! It just kind of happened this way and our guests seem to get a kick out it so we just roll with it!
Our number one goal is to provide a one of a kind memorable experience and have a fun time.
Wine tasting doesn't have to be uptight it's okay to have fun while visiting our great local Temecula wineries and our guides are there to help show your group the most fun you have ever had wine tasting!
So we get a lot of questions regarding the way we run our tours.
We always say if you are looking for just a ride to wineries go use Uber or take a taxi. You can save a few bucks and get what you want.
However if you are looking for an experience for a special occasion that is where we come in!
We specialize in customized, private, interactive wine tours here in Temeucula
If you are celebrating a birthday, bachelorette party, bridal shower, company team building party, or any other occasion let us provide you with a one of a kind experience that your special guest will never forget!
We don't throw you into a random shuttle with a bunch of strangers. All of our tours are private which means the only people that will be in your decorated, personalized, party bus will be the people you came with!
We have interior designers that will decorate the inside of your bus to any theme you would like. Make sure to request you specific theme and we will make it come to life!

So we get a lot of questions regarding the types of buses we use for our Temecula wine tours. It can be a tad confusing with all of the terminology. So let's break down the different types of buses that are used in wine tours and explain which style of bus we use for our guests.
Party Bus aka Limo Bus
We exclusively use party buses aka limo buses. "Party Bus" and "Limo Bus" is generally the same thing. Companies will use the term "Limo Bus" to typically attract corporate clients whereas the term "Party Bus" appeals to more of a 'party' crowd. But terms aside these are the same style bus.
Here is an example of the inside of one of our "party buses" or "limo buses"
You can see the seating in a party bus / limo bus is not rows of seats like in an airplane like you would see in a shuttle bus (See below). Everyone faces each other, there is lighting, and great stereo systems. Also most party buses will have a mini bar inside.
We have found that guests have a much better over all experience in a party bus than a shuttle bus. Our guests want to feel like they are together and not separated by rows of seats like in an airplane.
Shuttle Bus
The other style of bus would be a shuttle bus. Some companies will also call a shuttle bus a 'limo coach' to sound more fancy to corporate clients.
Shuttle buses have rows of seats like you would see in an airplane. Typically shuttle buses are used for long distance trips or for shuttling random groups of people from place to place. We do not use shuttle buses as we have found that our guests don't feel like they are experiencing anything other than just a generic ride. We like to make the ride be part of your overall wine tasting experience.
Here is a photo of a typical shuttle bus aka 'limo coach'
At the end of the day it is all personal preference.
Hopefully this article has helped you decide which type of bus appeals to you more!
So we get asked all the time what the difference is between the public wine tours and the private wine tours.
Basically the difference is that we only offer private wine tours which means that the people you come with are the only people that will be inside your party bus!
We don't stick you inside a boring shuttle bus with airplane style seats and make you sit next to random people
All of our buses are party buses which means your will all face each other. You will have your own stereo system, tour guide, and champagne on board your fun party bus.
If you have a group of 8 guests or more you qualify for one of our award winning private wine tours!
