Notes from the host
Pinot Point
★ Winner in the Best Movie Theater category.
This home took top honors in the 2025 AvantStay Awards—our annual celebration of the most exceptional stays across the country.
This is how Temecula was meant to be experienced. A massive estate with an incredible design. A sprawling backyard oasis with pools, a hot tub, and plenty of space to lounge. All perched on a private hilltop lot, so no matter where you choose to relax, you'll have incredible views of the valley below.
Pinot Point is a gorgeous mansion nestled in the hills of Temecula and just a short drive from all of the best wineries in the area. This luxe retreat has an entire suite of amenities curated to keep your group connected and entertained. A huge backyard with green space and yard games, an expansive pool (a gate around the pool has been added for safety), and a chic firepit area all overlook the surrounding landscape. You can spend hours dining al fresco at the large outdoor table as the sun sets behind the hills and colors the sky. Or, head inside to find even more fun, including a movie room that will have you feeling like you've just stepped into the theater!
Every aspect of this home is designed to help your group experience Temecula in comfort and style. A large kitchen and additional prep spaces make it easy to keep everyone fed, while plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms provide privacy and space to make yourself at home. Open the front and back doors to let fresh air flow through the house as you enjoy your morning coffee or an evening cocktail in the indoor/outdoor sitting room.
At Pinot Point, it feels like you're living on top of the world. And in a way, you are. We hope to welcome you soon!

There's a lot to see in Temecula and even more to drink. Our suggestion? A tour at one of the local wineries so you and your group can sample a diverse range of local flavors. For something less intoxicating but equally fun, visitors can berry-pick at local farms and taste the fruits of their labor. Hot air-ballooning is a stunning way to see the rolling hills of Southern California wine country from every angle and is one of Temecula's most sought-after attractions.
