There is no better way to view the lush wine countryside of Temecula Valley than in a hot-air balloon floating high over the manicured rows of vineyards, past colorful fields of flowers blanketing rolling hills under clear azure skies. However, if you are more adventuresome, you might try hang gliding.
Old Town Temecula has a true "Old West" stagecoach stop. This town is proud of its heritage, and much of the old "Wild West" lives in the events that are held throughout the year, as well as in several of the specialty shops. Restaurants also help to keep that same spirit alive. If you're looking for some night life, the Pechanga Resort & Casino is California's biggest resorts. It has Triple-A, 4-Diamond amenities and services which makes this one of the most popular resorts around. Classic car owners enjoy the Temecula Rod Run, a family event that attracts classic car owners from throughout southern California. Several city blocks are sectioned off so that everyone has the opportunity to take a peek under the hoods of these fine automobiles. Diamond Valley Lake is a new reservoir of 4,500 acres with a depth of up to 260 feet. With such a depth, it is idea for coldwater as well as warm water fishing. There are several hiking and biking trails to explore around the lake, and camping, too. Lake Skinner and Lake Elsinore are popular with water skiers as well as jet skiers. Shoppers will enjoy browsing through the Promenade Mall that houses more than 100 associated businesses and at least that many retail outlets and restaurants for a full day of shopping, entertainment, and dining. Throughout the year, special events are taking place.
