06.20.2015: Wedding Venue Shopping

After just a few days of recovery at home, Vince and I headed out to Riverside for the weekend to go to Temecula with the crew for wedding venue shopping!!  Ken & Kelsea made appts at 2 places that were definite frontrunners for locations.  Which also meant wine tasting!! Whoohoo! Although last night we stayed up late doing our own wine tasting at the house.  Therefore SOME of us were hurting pretty badly the next morning and the last thing we wanted to think about was more wine.  I know, I know...I said the unthinkable...but it was true! HURTING.
 
Anyways, we gathered ourselves and packed our bags and loaded into the Durango (Mom, K&K, and Vince and I) and headed south.  Dad had to work for the day so was meeting us later.  We all got rooms down there just in case we didn't want to drive home...and we FELT like we might head to Pechanga for a bit that night.  Never know...it was wine tasting!
 
So anyways, we met over at Kelsea's grandma's house, who lives in Temecula.  She was making us a big crab spaghetti lunch/dinner for when we came back from our appts.  Wasn't too sure about the whole crab spaghetti thing...but will get to that in the next post.
 
Back to the wineries....first stop was Falkner Winery.  Wasn't too sure of this place on first approach.  Seemed nice, pretty views.  We met with the owner who personally took us around the entire place, detail over detail over detail.  We ended up spending 2 full hours there going thru everything you could imagine.  Even before the wedding, I say that I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a Temecula winery to have a wedding or event at.
 
We almost blew off the next appt because we were all so sold on this place.  However, decided to go check it out anyways, just incase.  It was pretty, but definitely did not hold a candle to Falkner.  So there it is...we were all sold on it!
