YOUR WINE TOUR ADVENTURE STARTS HERE
PRESS RELEASE - TEMECULA VALLEY, CA
Grapeline Wine Tours, in partnership with Visit Temecula Valley and Visit Oceanside, has launched a new Thursday transportation and wine tourism experience that brings the Waves-to-Wine connection to life by linking the Oceanside coast with Temecula Valley Wine Country in a seamless day trip.
Visit Oceanside and Visit Temecula Valley debuted the Waves-to-Wine program in March as a curated road trip experience connecting Oceanside’s iconic surf culture with Temecula Valley’s sun-soaked wine country. Featuring thoughtfully curated itinerary suggestions, the program offers visitors an easy and immersive way to explore two of Southern California’s most inspiring — and lesser known — destinations in one seamless getaway.
The new “Waves to Wine” Grapeline tour expands on the program by providing a convenient, guided option for travelers looking to experience both destinations in a single day. Designed to simplify travel between the coast and wine country, the experience allows visitors to enjoy Temecula Valley’s acclaimed wineries while using Oceanside as a coastal home base, further strengthening the connection between the two destinations and showcasing the diversity of Southern California experiences available just a short drive apart.
Guests depart from select Oceanside pickup locations and travel by hosted mini-coach to Temecula Valley, where they participate in Grapeline’s Vineyard Picnic Tour.
The experience includes:
According to the partners, the new offering reflects a broader interest in connecting Southern California destinations and encouraging visitors to extend their exploration beyond a single community or overnight stay.
“A beach day gets even better with a little wine country mixed in — and wine country doesn’t exactly suffer from being paired with the coast,” said John Kelliher, Co-Founder of Grapeline Wine Tours. “Oceanside and Temecula complement each other naturally, and this partnership creates an easy way to enjoy both in a single day.”
The Thursday departures are intended to provide a recurring option for both overnight visitors and local residents seeking a guided wine country experience.
Grapeline Wine Tours operates hosted wine experiences in five California wine regions: Temecula Valley, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara, Sonoma Valley, and Napa Valley.
The Waves to Wine experience is available for $169 per person and is scheduled to operate weekly on Thursdays. Reservations are available in advance.
