New 'Wine Walk' Opens at Promenade

mall aims to bring the Wine Country experience into the heart of the city.

The Wine Walk sits is a small vineyard garden between and with a series of stylized shadowboxes featuring individual stories and historical information about each winery, the grapes grown and used, and the wines they produce.

The installation will bring the history and culture of the region’s most prominent wineries to mall-goers, according to Jeff Kurtz, General Manager for The Promenade.

The Wine Walk is an authentic reflection of each winery, as grapevines from each winemaker have been planted alongside the correlating shadowboxes, showing shoppers how these grapes are grown, cultivated and turned into award-winning wines.

“The Temecula Valley is increasingly becoming the destination for California wine, and we are fortunate to partner with such prominent local wineries to offer this new experience to our guests,” Kurtz said. “While Promenade Temecula is already an excellent destination for shopping, dining and entertainment, the addition of this new Wine Walk brings an interactive, educational and artistic element to our shoppers.”

Each of the six featured wineries in Promenade Temecula’s Wine Walk are located in the Temecula Wine Country, which is comprised of 33,000 acres with more than 1,300 acres of planted grapes. Featured winemakers include , , ,
