Wine Tasting During COVID in Temecula Wine Country
Wondering what it’s like to go wine tasting during COVID with social distancing requirements and capacity restrictions? We chose Masia de la Vinya Winery in Temeacula Valley Wine Country to find out what the experience is like with the new California state guidelines in place for wineries during COVID-19.
After staying home for more than three months except for running errands, the hubby and I ventured out to a winery for a change in scenery and a little relaxation. We looked forward to an actual social outing, even if it was just the two of us! This was a calculated outing, as I am an advocate of staying safe, social distancing and wearing masks until the pandemic is under control.
We are fortunate to live only a short drive from Temecula Valley Wine Country in Southern California. That we can be at the wineries in less than 30 minutes means we have spent many memorable days with family and friends sampling the fantastic wines produced in this region. Usually we prefer to enjoy the wineries with the added company of good friends, but in the interest of social distancing Fritz and I made it a date for just us this time. Fortunately we still enjoy each other’s company, even after three months of only socializing with each other and our son.
