Cougar Vineyard & Winery

Make tracks to Cougar Vineyard & Winery, specializing in 100 percent estate-grown Italian varietals paired with some of the most picturesque views of Temecula Valley. The winery will host its annual Super Chili Bowl on Feb. 11. Tickets Cougar sits atop a hill overlooking the vineyards, scenic horse farms and the beautiful mountains that surround the De Portola Wine Trail. With a commitment toward bringing authentic Italian wines to Temecula in mind, they have registered five Italian varietals with the TTB, which means they produce wines you can’t get anywhere else in the United States. Cougar not only grows its own grapes to produce award-winning wines but also produces olive oil from the estate olives on site. The 10-acre property features a popular tasting room, a large barrel room for events and Sangio’s Deli to order pizzas, charcuterie, hot or cold sandwiches, salads and more. Cougar is well-known for its serene outdoor seating and the famous Adirondack chairs that face a spectacular vineyard view. Open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
