In California, the nation’s top wine producer (makes 81% of U.S. wine and is world’s 4th largest producer,) you can drink fine wine any time. But at festivals that tout hundreds of wineries & wines, there are often great activities, as well. Take, for instance, Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival May 31-June 2, 2019. With thousands in attendance some come for the wine but many come to hear bands on stage and see hot air balloon launches. Held at Lake Skinner, the festival showcases another wine fest trend — location!
