Temecula Wine Tours
Temecula Wine Tour Transportation
Avant Limo provides private Temecula wine tour transportation: a professional chauffeur and a Luxury Sedan, Black SUV, or Executive Van for the day, so every glass is enjoyed without a second thought about the drive home. This is dedicated wine-country transportation, not a packaged tasting tour: you set the wineries, we handle the driving, the parking, and the timing between stops.
How Temecula wine tour transportation works
Tell us your date, group size, and the wineries on your list (or ask us for suggestions), and we build an as-directed itinerary around your hours. Your chauffeur and vehicle stay with you all day: no re-booking between stops, no clock-watching, and no one in the group has to stay sober to drive.
Pricing is a flat, all-inclusive hourly rate agreed before you book: fuel and taxes are built in, with no surge regardless of how the day runs long. Gratuity is not included.
Wine tours book for a minimum of four hours, and your chauffeur stays with the group between every stop.
Getting to wine country from San Diego
Most of our wine days start with a San Diego pickup and a straight run up I-15, so the drive is part of the plan: leave mid-morning and you reach the first tasting room as the valley opens up, and the return trip south misses the Friday northbound backup entirely. Already staying in the valley? See our Temecula car service for hotel pickups, Old Town nights, and airport transfers.

Popular wineries and how we plan the day
Temecula Valley Wine Country runs along Rancho California Road and De Portola Road, with dozens of wineries in a compact, walkable stretch. Riders commonly ask for stops at wineries such as Wilson Creek, Callaway, South Coast Winery, Frangipani Estate, Ponte, and Europa Village, and we route the day to minimize backtracking between them.
A typical wine tour runs 6 to 8 hours with 3 to 5 winery stops, plus lunch, though some groups prefer a shorter half-day itinerary. We plan the order and pacing with you in advance, then adjust in real time if a stop runs long or the group wants to add one.
Built for wine-country groups
Every trip includes a vetted professional chauffeur, complimentary water, and door-to-door pickup from anywhere in San Diego, Temecula, or the surrounding area. Avant is licensed, insured, holds the permits winery transportation in Temecula requires, and is a registered transportation partner in the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association’s Responsible Partner Program. Pick the vehicle by group size:
Luxury Sedan
Up to 3 passengers
Couples and pairs who want the same door-to-door service without a larger vehicle.
Black SUV
Up to 7 passengers
A bachelorette party, a birthday group, or friends splitting the cost of a full day.
Executive Van
Up to 15 passengers
Corporate outings, wedding weekends, and bigger groups of friends who want to taste together instead of splitting into two cars.
Private transportation, not a packaged tasting tour
Group tour buses sell a set tasting package on their schedule, with other riders on board. Avant is the private alternative: your own chauffeur, your own itinerary, and your own pace, whether that means five wineries in a day or two unhurried stops with a long lunch in between. It is the same flat-rate, no-surge standard as every Avant booking, just built around wine country instead of an airport run.

Frequently asked
Pricing is a flat, all-inclusive hourly rate agreed before you book, based on your group size, vehicle, and hours. Call (619) 398-5432 or book online with your date and itinerary for an exact quote; fuel and taxes are always included, with no surge. Gratuity is not included and is left to your discretion.
Yes, wine tours book for a minimum of four hours. Starting from San Diego, the round trip to wine country uses about two and a half of those hours, so most San Diego groups book six to eight; a pickup from a Temecula hotel puts nearly all four hours into tasting. Tell us your stops and we will suggest how much time to allow.
Most full-day tours cover 3 to 5 wineries with time for lunch, though it depends on how long your group likes to stay at each stop. We help plan the route in advance to keep driving time low and tasting time high, and can adjust the stops in real time if plans change.
The Executive Van seats up to 15, the Black SUV up to 7, and the Luxury Sedan up to 3. Bachelorette parties and birthday groups usually fit the SUV; bigger groups and company outings take the van.
Yes. Your chauffeur and vehicle stay with your group for the entire booking, with unlimited stops within your reserved hours, so there is no waiting for a new car to be dispatched between wineries.
Yes. We pick up in San Diego, Temecula, or anywhere in between, and the vehicle stays with you for the wine tour itself. Tell us your pickup location when you book and we will build the day around it.
