Wine Country Vision 2020 (updated 1/20/10)

Riverside County’s Temecula Valley Wine Country is fast becoming a premier tourist destination in Southern California. Recognized as one of the “jewels” of Riverside County, Temecula Valley Wine Country currently offers more than twenty world-class boutique wineries and features eclectic restaurants, elegant tasting rooms and hundreds of acres of rolling vineyards. With its rural charm and picturesque views amid the rolling hills of Temecula Valley, Riverside’s Wine Country is the perfect setting for wine tasting, hosting special events, relaxing recreation and high-quality residential living.

The Wine Country is currently experiencing an unprecedented level of development interest, with more than thirty new projects in process with the County of Riverside. Meeting the challenge of integrating these types of new projects into the existing community has been given a high priority by the County Supervisor for the region, the Honorable Jeff Stone. While a Wine Country zoning ordinance and policies have been in effect since the 1980s, the County of Riverside is now endeavoring to revisit its vision and policies for the region through a comprehensive planning process to develop the Temecula Valley Wine Country Community Plan.
