Situated on Temecula’s stunning De Portola Wine Trail of family-owned wineries, Cougar Vineyard and Winery specializes in Italian varietals and blends. Its wines are 100% estate, meaning that Cougar handles every aspect of the winemaking process in-house, from growing the grapes to bottling.
Cougar has wine tastings available seven days a week with advanced reservations. There’s also Sangio’s Deli on-site, so order a cheese platter, hand-tossed pizza, or sandwich for takeout and enjoy a picnic on the gorgeous Old World-style grounds.
