Buy Tickets for Temecula Harvest Wine Celebration

by Don McAuliffe

The early bird gets the worm at the Harvest Wine Celebration on Nov. 1-2.

Temecula Valley vintners and growers celebrate the 2008 grape crush with two days of food and wine. Sign up before Oct. 15 and the cost is only $79 a person, which includes food and wine both days and a souvenir wine glass. After October 15, the price goes up to $89 per person.

For Temecula and Murrieta residents who want to enjoy the festivities on Sunday only, the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association is charging $59 per person. The Harvest Wine Celebration is a great opportunity to visit 22 award-winning wineries from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day and sample great wine and wine-friendly food.

As Joe Hart, owner and winemaker at Hart Winery, says, “You get to try the wine with food, which is really what wine is all about – it’s a beverage to accompany food.”

Travel from winery to winery and taste barrel and tank samples of new and unreleased wines. For more information or media passes call 800-801-WINE.
