Temecula Things to Do - Attractions & Must See

Temecula is a hillside community and home to Southern California’s best vineyards. The rolling hills are surrounded by a beautiful wide-open space of land affectionately called wine country.

The county’s railroad system first came out west to Temecula Valley in 1882, and it didn’t take long for settlers to build a city around the tracks. Old Town Temecula is home to a number of historical spots, plus a variety of art galleries, antique stores, and quality restaurants.

Located off the grid, CrossCreek Golf Club offers a challenging afternoon for golfers at all skill levels. The fairways are lined with oak and sycamore trees that set a beautiful scene for golf. The front-nine has very little hazards, which makes for a fast-paced game, but the back-nine is known for an array of elevated tees that could leave a golfer in the rough all day long.

If you’re looking for a history lesson on the importance of Temecula to the region, then spend a day at the Temecula Valley Museum. The exhibits feature antique farming equipment, obscure artifacts, and photographs that provide a historical account of how the city has transformed into one of Southern California's thriving communities.
