South Coast Winery

go for gold

Results are coming in now from the 2009 Wine Competitions, and  South Coast Winery is pacing to blow out last year's record wins.  In fact, with results just now coming in from the San Francisco International Wine Competition and the Los Angeles International Wine Competitions over the past few days, our winemakers have done it again.   They've earned an impressive 41 medals in these two competitions alone -- including 6 Golds; 13 Silvers; 18 Bronzes; 1 Best of Show and 3 Best of Class! 
This means South Coast Winery wines have earned a whopping 218 medals to date in 2009 competitions, compared to 161 medals for the same period last year.
Better still is the fact that at this pace -- and with the results still pending from a few other major wine competitions -- it's quite possible that South Coast Winery could very well be in a position to bring home the California State Winery of the Year "Golden Bear" Award for the second consecutive year. But don't take our word for it, simply look at the at-a-glance comparison chart for South Coast's 2008-2009 competition awards (listed below),try some of these summer time top selling wines, and make up your own mind:

South Coast Winery Resort & Spa

Rolling vineyards, private villas, vibrant dining, lush spa, exclusive tastings… The glass is definitely more than half-full at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa.

This Temecula Valley, California, destination combines working winery with luxurious sanctuary, adding a new dimension to an increasingly popular wine country. The intimate resort offers Southern California residents a very drivable getaway. It’s also easily accessible from the San Diego, Los Angeles and Ontario airports and central to the region’s many attractions.

And the guest experience here? Peaceful walks through the vines, winery tours and tastings, gourmet food paired with award-winning wines, vineyard views from a villa terrace…with the highest standards of service. A slightly romanticized version of the vintner lifestyle. Just the way founder/proprietor Jim Carter originally pictured it.
