Temecula Wine Harvest Weekend 2026

“Old Town fills up, the energy is different than any…”

The harvest heat is still in the air and the vines have reached the point where everything the year built toward is finally visible - this is the weekend the valley invites the city to mark the moment the grapes become something else. Temecula Wine Harvest Weekend runs through the wineries and into Old Town.

Expect tastings across the valley's best estates, food pairings, and live music at the vineyards and the Old Town venues. The Temecula Valley wine region produces wine that belongs on any California shortlist, and the harvest weekend is when the wineries are most open and most celebratory.

Come with a car service if you are doing the full vineyard circuit; come to Old Town if you want the festival without the driving. Either way, September in Temecula wine country earns the trip. Old Town Temecula, 28690 Old Town Front St, September 19-20, 2026. Full schedule and winery participation list at visittemeculavalley.com/events.
