Curly Girl On The Road: first stop: TEMECULA WINERIES / Rizos Viajeros; primera parada "Los Vinedos de Temecula"

Hola, I am so happy to have my first "CURLY GIRL ON THE ROAD" post series, yayyyy I will be bringing you photos, details and how to wear your hair tips of places I visit.
So, the first stop is the Temecula Wineries.
This was a very exciting trip for me, because I love wine and I was looking forward to visiting this place for years. I washed my hair the night before and leave the DC (Karen's Beautiful Deep treatment) on to cut on time in the morning, so the day of our short trip I get in the shower and rinse the conditioner off, apply my oil mix to seal in the moisture followed by Beautiful texture Curl control (will get back to my hair later).

After reading some reviews and saw some pictures on the internet our first stop was Europe Village. This  winery produces 3 types of wine under 3 different labels reflecting the style of Spain with "Bolero" France with " C'est la vie" and Italy "Vienza". The place is small, but the patio is really beautiful and cozy. My favorite was the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (C'est la vie).

Next we went (following yelp advise, lol) to mount Palomar winery, we had lunch there and of course more wine tasting☺. The food was super good and fresh and the patios/gardens/venues are just breathtaking, magical and beautiful, My daughters had a good time running around.

At night it gets magical, with live music (some wineries) and beautiful lights.

My hair started to get bigger and rough throughout the day due to the dry weather, so next time I will focus more on moisturizer and apply a leave-in before the curl control. But over all it looked great, as always I got a lot of piropos and won best hair of the day according to a woman (No, there was no hair competion, hahhhaha)

Recomendations

  • Get a designated driver; you ( I mean me, lol) may think it is just a taste but after a few tasting you may not be able to drive back home.  A good option (I saw many there) is to rent one of those party buses, or a limousine if you want some diva treatment.
  • Most wineries close at 5 pm, so if you want a good tour get there early and check the internet for time and accommodations.
  • This is not a place for kids; I took mine with me, because I had no choice, but they get really bored watching adults having wine fun and there is minimum or zero kid activities.
  • Some wineries have live night music on the weekends.
  • The weather may be hot during the day, but it is crazy how its drops, so get yourself a sweater.
  • Perfect place to rent a limousine and have a bachelorette party.. 
  • This place is for wine lovers only.
  • Get ready to have fun...
