Where to Eat and Drink in Temecula Valley
"With an airy and modern design that’s a breath of fresh air, this newer winery shares an owner and winemaker with sister location Ponte Winery. Bottaia requires pre-booking for its luxe experiences, which include a barrel-room tasting, a reserved table on its breezy Guest Deck that overlooks the 45-acre vineyard, a cabine or chaise lounge beside the pool, or a charcuterie pairing that features house-cured meats alongside a lineup of premium estate wines from its portfolio of all-Italian varietals that could include a bright and zippy Arneis or Sagrantino. This lesser-seen Umbrian grape produces an intriguing and complex red." - Candice Woo
