Wilson Creek Winery

On the winery grounds, a bridge spans a meandering stream, dubbed "Wilson Creek" by the family.  A large grassy area is near the stream, and flower gardens abound.  A 25-foot gazebo overlooks the stream and has a large lawn for seating at weddings and concerts.  Nearby is a vine-covered picnic area, where you may enjoy your picnic lunch with a bottle of Wilson Creek wine.  The myriad of birds and humming birds will entertain you while you soak up the peacefulness of the gardens. Following their retirements, Gerry and Rosie Wilson bought a 20-acre vineyard planted in 1969.  The vineyard was planted in Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Pinot St. George.  They built a 5400-square foot tasting room and winery and a house on top of the hill, overlooking the winery.  Their family soon joined them and also moved to Temecula.  Son Bill supervised construction of the building and manages the winery.  His wife Jennifer is the wedding consultant. Daughter Libby manages the tasting room, and her husband John helps with sales.  Son Mick coordinates the winery's public relation efforts.  Truly, Wilson Creek is a family project.(Winery bio/text provided from Temeculawines.org)
