Carter Estate Winery and Resort

Set amid 109 pristine acres in Temecula Valley—Southern California’s only true wine destination—Carter Estate Winery and Resort offers an idyllic and immersive wine country retreat. Renowned for its méthode champenoise sparkling wines, the estate produces award-winning vintages surrounded by rolling hills, lush vineyards, and sweeping mountain views.

Guests unwind in 60 elegantly appointed private bungalows and suites, set just steps from the vines, where they can stroll directly from their patios into the vineyard rows. At sunrise, colorful hot air balloons drift overhead, creating a breathtaking, close-up spectacle. Amenities include a tranquil pool with cabanas, a poolside restaurant, and an inviting tasting room. Guests also enjoy access to South Coast Winery Resort & Spa for additional tastings, dining at The Vineyard Rose Restaurant and GrapeSeed Spa.

Blending sparkling wine expertise with relaxed luxury, Carter Estate offers a polished yet approachable escape.
