We took the private tour to Temecula from Newport Beach. Lou was wonderful. Very attentive and provided awesome info about the area and various spots along the drive. We were able to visit two wineries, taking our time at each, and a long lunch (with more wine). We could have gone to more wineries if we wanted to; just would have had to have shorter stays at each. He made sure we were comfortable and taken care of at each stop. We had a wonderful time.
