Daily deal: A tantalizing taste of wine country

By
Temecula Creek Inn, Temecula, CA

The Temecula Creek Inn is surrounded by 300 acres of picturesque landscape.

When any new relationship gets underway, so does the so-called honeymoon phase. The sun shines brighter, food tastes richer and affection grows stronger.

Revert your long-standing romance to the sweet thrills of a budding romance when you escape to the Temecula Creek Inn to enjoy the sights, tastes and sparks of a whirlwind love affair.

Anchored in the rolling landscape of Temecula, California — just about an hour from San Diego — the inn will welcome you with the breathtaking scenery and easy-going charm for which southern California is known.

Be swept off your feet at the start of an overnight weekday stay in a deluxe room ($99), or whisk away your sweetie for a one-night weekend stay in a premium room ($179). Try not to swoon upon learning that your resort fee and parking are included.

The undeniable attraction you feel toward your bucolic room will come second only to your relationship's chemistry. While deluxe rooms feature sunny views with natural landscapes, and premium rooms overlook the on-site golf course (best seen from the patios or balconies), every retreat shares a commitment to comfort. Curl up together to watch a movie on your flat-screen, or make each other laugh by streaming silly videos with included Wi-fi.

Go for a hot air balloon ride above canyons and valleys with California Dreamin', and watch the sunset before you sip champagne at the landing site. Then, relish the taste of grilled sea scallops and a Greek-marinated flat-iron steak for dinner at the inn's Temet Grill.

After a round of golf in the morning, go on an included wine tasting tour of three local vineyards of your choice. The Falkner Winery, Stuart Cellars, and Leonesse Cellars are just three of the 12 places you can uncork a bottle and toast to your one and only.

Feel the love with this escape, and you could tease that ever-elusive honeymoon phase into permanence.
