Deeply
Rooted

Situated within a sprawling 40-acre vineyard along the De Portola Wine Trail in Temecula Valley, Danza del Sol Winery offers a rustic yet vibrant ambiance, embodying the essence of the region. Just a short drive from San Diego, this winery, owned by Temecula residents Ken & Tina Smith and part of the Kentina Hospitality Group, stands as a testament to the area’s rich wine heritage.

Danza del Sol Winery traces its roots back to Temecula Valley’s wine history. With its vineyards initially planted with Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc in 1972, it boasts the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines in the valley. Under the guidance of winemaker Justin Knight, the winery has consistently produced award-winning Mediterranean-style handcrafted wines.

Upon stepping into the tasting room, visitors are greeted by a blend of rustic charm and genuine warmth. The knowledgeable staff is eager to curate a memorable tasting experience, whether through casual tastings, guided tours, or private events. Danza del Sol Winery believes in the unifying power of wine and invites all to partake in their tasting journey. Come celebrate life and savor the experience with us!
