Hawk Ranch, Headquarters, & Old Town Temecula

Join us for a delightful day of history, agriculture, and local charm! Our first stop is Temecula's Vail Headquarters, a historic site from the 1860s that played a key role in the region’s ranching history. Take time to explore the grounds and learn about the Vail family’s impact on the area before enjoying lunch on your own.

Next, we visit Hawk Ranch, a 40-acre working farm in Murrieta. On a guided walking tour, you’ll interact with adorable animals like alpacas, miniature horses, and potbelly pigs while learning about the ranch’s eco-friendly practices. Discover how the ranch embraces sustainability and connects with nature through responsible farming.

Finally, we’ll head to Old Town Temecula, where you can explore unique boutiques, antique shops, and olive oil tasting rooms. Take a leisurely stroll through the historic streets or relax with a drink in this charming part of wine country. This day promises history, nature, and local culture—an unforgettable adventure!
