TOUR OF CALLAWAY VINEYARD AND WINERY

 

Callaway Winery was founded in 1969 by Ely Callaway, who went on to gain fame and fortune in the world of golf.  Extensive research led Mr. Callaway to Temecula where he found what he believed to be the perfect spot to plant his vines.  Known for their award winning Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, Callaway also offers an eclectic array of Special Collection wines, such as their Viognier, Muscat Canelli, and Dolcetto, as well as a full line of Winemaker’s Reserve wines.  Come for a private guided walking tour of the winemaking facility, followed by an educational, sit-down tasting of four Callaway wines, and a casual plated lunch.  Receive a souvenir logo glass and a 20% discount on purchases made in the Visitors Center.  (Note that Callaway wines can only be purchased at the winery or online.)

The tour is scheduled for Friday, September 15, 2006.  Please arrive by 10:30 am and allow about 3 hours.  This group tour requires a minimum of 12 people.  You must be at least 21 years old to be a taster (be prepared to show valid identification).  Price is $25 per person, plus tax and gratuity.  The lunch is Turkey on Focaccia and includes a dessert and wine (of course).  If you are interested in attending the tour please email Tom Frankie at TFrankie@tns.net by Friday, September 1.  If the minimum is not met, the tour will be canceled.
 
The Callaway Winery is located at 32720 Rancho California Road, Temecula, 92591.  It is approximately 4 miles east of Interstate 15 from the Rancho California Road exit.  Visit here for a map.  Estimated driving time from San Diego is about 1 hour.  It is suggested that the Old Town Transit Station and the Mira Mesa Park-n-Ride may be good locations to meet and to form carpools.
