If you’re here for a few days and love wine you have to check out Temecula (wine country). There are hundreds of wineries within a couple miles of each other so it’s easy to make a day out of wine hopping. Fazeli’s is large with plenty of seating. You can get tastings, by glass or whole bottles and sit outside with a view. Great food and restaurant onsite.

Local favorite. Low key beach. We walk all the way to the right of the beach for more seclusion. During the week is less crowded. This beach has clearer water and rock formations along coast line - great for pics and lounging.
