This had one of the most relaxing getaways we have ever had. The bungalow is so private and very spacious. Sitting on the patio in the middle of the vineyard is amazing. We couldn't have stayed at a better resort to celebrate our 37th Anniversary.
Vines right in front of our patio
The pool was pool was very clean and the food was good. We had the Italian sandwich.
A complimentary flight of the bubbly at the Carter Estate tasting room.
With only 21 duplex bungalows  there are only 42 individual units. And they are so spacious.

Charming room with a vineyard view

We were on a road trip from Colorado and decided to stay a night Temecula. We had a beautiful room that overlooked the vineyard. I do not recommend their sister resort, south Coast. We took their shuttle there for dinner, and staff was not as friendly as all of the other wineries, and the wine was not as good.
