It started as De Portola Winery but changed its name to Altisima before opening in April 2022. Seems the maps haven't yet captured the new name. Altisima is not only the newest winery in Temecula, but it's also one of the nicest. Their wine-tasting room is upscale and comfortable and the indoor/outdoor restaurant is spacious and beautiful. Plus the 2nd-floor members' lounge with gorgeous views also has indoor/outdoor seating, private rooms, and more. Located on the De Portola Wine Trail, Altisima has fabulous views, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, a complete lunch & dinner menu, and some outstanding wines. They also have perhaps the best cheeseburger in the wine country. Fortunately, this upscale winery is less than 10-minutes from the Guesthouse.

If you like museums and history this museum is for you. If you don't like museums you'll like learning about the old cowboy town of Temecula. It's a 2-story museum and only takes 45 minutes to an hour to tour both floors: unless like me you like to read everything, in which case add an extra 30-45-minutes.
