Plan A Visit To Temecula Like The Real Housewives Of Orange County: Chic Resort, Wine Tour

TEMECULA, CA — The Real Housewives of Orange County are headed to Temecula this week in a previously filmed episode airing Thursday, Bravo announced. A first behind-the-scenes look at the episode, aired by Bravo, shows that Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jenn Pedranti, and Shannon Storms Beador all took a weekend getaway to Temecula.

The details of the trip remain under wraps, but Patch did some digging into the promotional videos to show you where they stayed, which wineries they visited, and even a unique tour they took through the vineyards.

The trip was the brainchild of Judge, who invited the group to a stay at Temecula's Vaquero Resort, a 10,000 sqft, 8-bedroom, 7.5-bathroom private estate in the heart of Temecula Valley Wine Country.

The Vaquero Resort, which sleeps 16+, is ideal for luxurious entertaining, owners Mike Nisenson and Steve Tinnelly told Patch. "We were honored to welcome the Housewives to our private resort vineyard," Tinnelly said. "Their visit gave us the opportunity to showcase the beauty, hospitality and unique charm of Temecula Valley. It was a wonderful reminder of why our resort is such a special destination for guests seeking a truly memorable experience."

Vaquero Resort offers an infinity pool with a swim-up bar, a 50-foot waterslide, a hot tub, a spacious cabana. The full-sized tennis courts are surrounded with vineyards. There are also full-sized basketball and pickleball courts, bocce ball, a putting green, a game room and a private gym.

"Bring your bikini!" Judge told the others when speaking of the Temecula resort she planned for the RHOC visit.

"This is a beautiful property," said a spokesperson for Visit Temecula Valley. "One of the nicest short-term rentals in Temecula Valley Wine Country."

Vaquero Resort includes the latest upgrades in high-end appliances and amenities, even if Shannon Storms Beador brought her own immersion blender, platters, and other bakeware for her breakfast plans.

The group also embarked on a Temecula Sidecar Tours experience, leaving from their resort hotel to stop at Wiens Family Cellars and others for a wine tasting.

Sidecar Tours offers a unique modification of the standard motorcycle sidecar, accommodating two passengers in each car, owner Anthony Bennett told Patch. Guests typically meet the sidecars at the Calle Contento location, but this day, the sidecars were brought to the housewives at the hotel.

The women paired up and drove in front-to-back motorcycle sidecars along the streets of Temecula Valley Wine Country. This unique way to tour wine country gives you an open-air, wind-in-your-face opportunity to enjoy the blue skies and fresh air, giving guests an exhilarating ride of a lifetime.

"The idea of Sidecar Tours Inc. came to us as we were looking for a fun and new experience for date night," they said over the Sidecar Tours website. "We have always enjoyed visiting wine country, wine tasting, and the backroad freedom on a motorcycle. We figured, why not allow someone else to experience all of the things we love in a new way!"

The video below shows the gasps and screams Beador shrieked as she felt like she was "riding a rollercoaster!" during the tour.

As for the wine, the group visited Wiens Family Cellars for a private tasting and tour.

"In (Episode 10), Shannon Storms Beador is unsure of whether the trip will be tumultuous or fun," a Bravo spokesperson says. "Meanwhile, Emily Simpson details wanting to balance time with both her kids and bonding with Gina Kirschenheiter over being cheerleading moms."

Watch Episode 10 in its national network premiere at 8 p.m. PST on Bravo.
