Churon Winery - Temecula

Churon was the first winery we visited in Temecula. The property is beautiful, and includes an inn and other amenities along with the tasting room. We were excited right up to the point we tasted the first wine. We looked at each other with a "we paid $8 for this?" look, and hoped the next wine would be better. It wasn't.

Many wineries will offer drinks and snacks to the kids to keep them busy. At wilson creek, for example, they have apple cranberry cider that they pour for the kids. Other wineries will give them water or bottled water, and offer them crackers or other snacks. This is a nice touch that helps the parents to feel at ease and helps the kids have a good time. Good time = more wine purchases. Not here. They offered water. We said "sure" and they pointed us to the coolers against the wall where we could buy water. They offered to let us purchase snacks for the kids as well. How generous!

Their wines were marginal and we felt like we were being nickeled and dimed to death. We won't go back.

Skip this one.
