Your Guide for An Epic Temecula,CA Bachelorette Getaway

When it came time for bride-to-be Abby to celebrate her last fling, she knew Temecula California was the perfect bachelorette destination for her! Having always dreamed of a wine country bachelorette party, Abby couldn’t wait to go with her nine besties for a long weekend of wine tasting and fun in Temecula Valley.

When planning a bachelorette party our Top 3 Tips would be:

#1. Set a Budget and Stick to it: Make sure that everyone agrees upon the budget and be very up front with what the cost is going to be. I planned Abby’s bachelorette like an all-inclusive trip, so once we got there no one was paying out of pocket. Everything had been pre-paid, pre-arranged, so we weren’t having to worry about logistics.

#2. Pick a Theme! Everybody loves a good theme party! We wanted something that wasn’t super traditional, so Abby chose retro-mod. She loves head scarves so we added that accessory to all our outfits through-out the weekend.

#3. Have an Activity for Everyone! When picking all the activities you are going to do on the Bachelorette trip you want to have something for everyone. Specifically on Abby’s trip we chose to do an activity at the house everyday because our Airbnb Camino Estates was amazing and we had spent a decent amount of our budget on the house, so I wanted to make sure to get our money’s worth. We also did a Spa day after a very long day before drinking at Glen Ivy Hot Springs . It’s really about catering to your group with and understanding everyone’s personality in order to have a successful trip.

The Weekend Itinerary

Abby’s bachelorette weekend had all the girl time and of course, WINE! We kicked things off with a Welcome Dinner at our Airbnb Camino Estates  by Temecula Picnic Co. The setup was breathtaking, we had it on the wrap around porch at our Airbnb while watching the Sunset. We drank wine, hung out by the firepit and completed our evening with a Lingerie Party for our Bride-to-Be. On Friday we did a Private Wine tour with Toasted Corks, the bus was so cute and we loved that we had it to ourselves. We went to 3 wineries with lunch and our tastings included at Lorenzi Estate, Masia de la Vinya, Danza Del Sol. That evening we had Chef Dylan Soro Chef Mario with Savage Chef & Co cook us the most delicious meal. We had four courses along with a wine pairing and it was one of the most luxurious experiences we’ve ever had.  We ended the night with hanging out and relaxing and a Tequila Shot or two. Saturday we went to Glen Ivy Hot Springs . We lounged in our robes, had yummy cocktails, and relaxed while soaking in mineral pools. We also got a chance to give ourselves full body mud masks at Club Mud. That afternoon we had a Pool Party back at the Airbnb and with Spritzy Bartender and had specialty cocktails all curated towards Abby’s preferences. That evening we went to Cork | Fire Kitchen  and had a wonderful meal and then headed to Temecula Stampede for a fun night dancing and bottle service.
