Our Story

Poppin’ Wine Tours was created because we believed that Temecula wine country deserved something better than a ride between wineries. We wanted to build an experience that combines great wine, local expertise, and an atmosphere where every guest feels like they’re spending the day with friends. Whether it’s your first visit to Temecula or your tenth, we want you to leave with unforgettable memories and new friendships.

What Makes Us Different

Our Team

brent

Brent / Owner & Guide

Brent absolutely loves meeting new people and has a great time sharing his love of wine and particularly the Temecula Wine Country! You will usually catch him sipping on a medium bodied red wine.

Calvin aka “Dark Chocolate” / Driver & Guide

The self proclaimed GOAT, if you end up on a tour with Calvin as your guide or driver you know that it will be a great time with great music. Whether his head is bobbing from side to side to the beats as he drives or he is dancing at the winery, Calvin is a one man party! If the weather is cool, you will find him sipping on a bold red wine. On a day he is driving or a hot day, he will definitely put down the wine and be drinking a slushy!

Ray aka “The Assistant Winemaker” / Guide

Ray not only has a passion for wine, but he has a passion for life. He is a true treasure of wine country and if you end up on a tour with him, pick his brain about wine making! He might be drinking something sweet but he knows a lot about the winemaking process for all wines!

Michael aka “The German Sommelier” / Guide

Michael has a passion for wine that is beyond compare. He loves sitting at a winery with small groups discussing life and anything at all about wine over a glass of a nice dry white wine. His love of life and his smile are infectious!

Cherish aka “White Chocolate” / Driver & Guide

The life of the party! If you end up on a tour with Cherish, you know you will not only be taken care of, but you will have a time you will never forget! If there is a dance floor you will likely  see her on it. If you need anything at all she will bend over backwards to make sure your needs are met. There is no such thing as too sweet as far as she is concerned when it comes to wine.

AJ / Guide

During the week he is making wine at Wilson Creek, but during the weekends we are lucky to have him as part of our team. He is a true hero at every winery as he never leaves home without his power station for everyone who forgot to charge their phones beforehand.
