Carter Estate Winery & Resort

Wake up to vineyard views while enjoying a complimentary continental breakfast delivered right to your room at this luxurious property in Temecula’s Wine Country. Set in a picturesque working vineyard stretching over 112 acres, the resort enchants both wine and nature lovers.

Those with both casual and discerning palates will love Carter’s exclusive collection of fine wines, including Chardonnay, Merlot, and Pinot Noir Rosé. All may be sampled during a palate-pleasing sit-down wine-tasting experience so that patrons can discover their favorites.

Indulge by the glass, flight or bottle at the tasting room bar or linger outside at tables next to the vines. Bubbly wine lovers will appreciate Carter’s super sparklers produced from the Méthode Champenoise, a process dating back to the 17th century, yielding bright fruit flavors and aromas.

Guests will also be delighted to know that the sustainable winery has 1,000 olive trees located throughout the property. Carter’s famous Extra Virgin, Garlic-Infused, and Basil-Infused olive oils are available for purchase on site. For discounts on wine tasting, bottles, merchandise, overnight stays and more, be sure to join the Carter Resort & Wine Club.

Turn the day into a stay at one of the resort’s Mediterranean-style romantic bungalows. Spacious suites feature French doors that open to private patios, inviting guests to relax and unwind while taking in the charm and splendor of California Wine Country. The bungalows also have sitting areas with fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, iPod docks and mini-fridges. Pair these pleasures with al fresco poolside dining at the Vineyard Grill while savoring a meal made from the season’s freshest ingredients. Also complement a visit with a pre-booked wine tour, hot air balloon or horse-drawn carriage ride.

Other amenities include shuttle service to Carter’s sister resort, South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, where guests can dine at South Coast’s signature restaurant, The Vineyard Rose Restaurant, and luxuriate with a relaxing treatment at the GrapeSeed Spa.
