As an expert in Temecula real estate, my family and I spend a lot of time in the city, enjoying the amenities and entertainment spots it has to offer. Our favorite things to do are nights out in Old Town Temecula, attending family-friendly events at Vail Headquarters, and going wine tasting in wine country.
