Ponte Winery 24th Annual Grape Stomp 2026 — Temecula
In 7 days · Sep 27 Ponte Winery, 35053 Rancho Califor…

Standing barefoot in a barrel of grapes while someone you came with shouts instructions that do not help. The juice runs between your toes. The sun is going down over the vineyard. You are terrible at this and you do not care. Ponte Winery's Annual Grape Stomp has been running for 24 years because the formula never needs changing — arrive at 4, start with wine and sangria from the new vintage, eat an antipasto spread and a dinner buffet (braised short ribs, stuffed chicken, harvest salad), then climb into the barrel and find out who in your group has competitive instincts they never knew about. A live band plays. Prizes go to the stompers. The dancing that follows is the part nobody plans. Ponte is one of the estates that made Temecula Wine Country a real destination, and the grape stomp is its annual celebration of the harvest — equal parts agricultural tradition, dinner party, and barely contained chaos. Sunday, September 27, 2026. 4–9 PM. Ponte Winery, 35053 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591. $160 general admission, $144 wine club. Tickets at pontewinery.com.

Chris Botti - Champagne Jazz at Thornton Winery
In 13 days · Oct 3 $95+ Thornton Winery, 32575 Rancho Cali…

Close your eyes during a Chris Botti solo and you could swear you are in a Manhattan jazz club at one in the morning, except the air smells like crushed grapes and the ceiling is the actual sky. Botti is the best-selling American instrumental artist of his generation, a Grammy winner who spent years playing trumpet behind Sting before his own name got that big, and his tone does something specific to a room. People who announce that they do not like jazz go quiet mid-sentence. He plays Thornton's terrace on the first Saturday of October, the vineyard already turning toward harvest, the estate sparkling wine poured through dinner service. Of all fourteen nights in this series, the regulars circle his first. Twenty minutes up the freeway and you are as close to a great concert hall as this valley gets. Buy the seat now and thank yourself in autumn, sitting next to whoever you would most want there.

Thornton Winery Champagne Jazz: Richard Marx
May 23, 2026 Thornton Winery, 32575 Rancho Cali…

Thornton Winery, 32575 Rancho California Rd, Temecula. May 23rd. Richard Marx at the Champagne Jazz Series — the outdoor concert format that Thornton Winery has been perfecting since 1988, in a vineyard setting that makes the whole evening feel like the specific California life that wine country is trying to be. The Champagne Jazz Series puts artists on an outdoor stage in the middle of Temecula wine country, with the vineyard visible from every seat and the Rancho California hills holding the sound in the early evening. Richard Marx — whose catalog runs from "Endless Summer Nights" to "Right Here Waiting" to the ballads that lived on every mixtape of a certain era — brings exactly the material that works in this setting. It is not a small thing to hear a song you know completely, performed live, with the sun going down over the vines. thorntonwine.com for ticket details and the Champagne Jazz Series schedule. May 23rd. The outdoor setting means arrive early enough to find your space before the show. Wine tasting runs before the concert. The dinner option pairs with the experience if you're making a full evening of wine country at its best version of itself.

Thornton Winery Champagne Jazz: Damien Escobar & Julian Vaughn

Thornton Winery, 32575 Rancho California Rd, Temecula. May 30th. Damien Escobar and special guest at the Thornton Winery Champagne Jazz Series — the outdoor concert format in Temecula wine country that has been pairing live performance with the vineyard setting since 1988, which is long enough to know exactly what it's doing. Damien Escobar — the neo-classical violinist who built a career on the collision between classical training and contemporary R&B and hip-hop influence — brings that particular energy to an outdoor stage surrounded by the Rancho California hills. The Champagne Jazz series is the event where the wine and the music are doing the same work: creating the specific evening you'll still be thinking about after the drive home. thorntonwine.com for ticket details and the full Champagne Jazz schedule. May 30th. Arrive for the wine tasting before the show and the full Temecula wine country experience assembles itself. The outdoor setting means come with the right people and the evening takes care of the rest. Reserve early — Thornton Winery's outdoor shows fill before the summer season opens.

Tierra Legacy - Rhythm on the Vine at South Coast Winery
Aug 9, 2026 $45+ South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, 3…

Ask anyone who came up in East LA and they will tell you what the first bars of 'Together' do to a room -- forty-five years later that song is still played at every wedding, every backyard, every low-and-slow cruise down Whittier Boulevard. Tierra didn't just have a hit; they built the Eastside Sound, the Chicano soul that scored a whole culture. The legacy band carries it forward with the horns and the harmonies fully intact, and on an August evening on South Coast's lawn in Temecula it turns into something between a concert and a family reunion for anybody who grew up on this music. Bring your parents. Bring the person you slow-danced with in a garage in 1985. This is one of those nights where half the crowd knows every word before the first note lands. Come home to it.

Clay Walker at Wilson Creek Winery
Sep 11, 2026 $55+ Wilson Creek Winery, 35960 Rancho …

For anyone who came of age on 90s country radio, Clay Walker is pure muscle memory: If I Could Make a Living, Live Until I Die, hit after neotraditional hit, delivered by a voice that has aged like the good stuff. Hearing those songs live under the Temecula stars, vineyard breeze and a glass of local red in hand, is about as good as a Southern California summer night gets. Friday, September 11, 2026, at Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula. Come early to wander the grounds, grab a bottle, and settle onto the lawn as the sun drops behind the hills. The whole crowd turns into the backup choir by the second chorus. This is wine country doing what it does best, turning a concert into a whole gorgeous evening. Fifteen minutes from home and worlds away. Come raise a glass.

Callaway Vineyard Sip, Stomp & Play 2026 — Temecula
Sep 13, 2026 Callaway Vineyard & Winery, 32720 …

The grape stomp is not a metaphor. You will actually stand in a barrel. Your feet will be purple. The person next to you will be trying harder than the situation calls for. This is the appeal. Callaway Vineyard's annual Sip, Stomp & Play is one of the harvest celebrations that turns Temecula Wine Country into a destination every September — a Saturday evening that starts with check-in at 6:30, moves through a glass of Callaway wine and an outdoor dinner (the menu changes each year but the vineyard-to-table philosophy doesn't), and peaks with the grape stomping competition where teams of four chase fun prizes with stained ankles and zero technique. Live music and dancing fill the space between the stomping and the stars. Callaway has been making wine in Temecula since 1969, which means the vines you're looking at during dinner are older than most of the guests. Saturday, September 13, 2026. Check-in 6:30 PM. Callaway Vineyard & Winery, 32720 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591. $125 general, $100 wine club, $70 kids 4–11.
