About Monte de Oro Winery
Monte de Oro, mountain of gold, took an unusual road to existence: it was founded by a large group of shareholder-partners, wine lovers who pooled resources to build a Temecula estate together, complete with a glass-floored tasting room suspended over the barrel cellar. Estate-grown wines across valley staples fill the list.
The community-ownership story and the see-through floor make it one of the valley's more memorable stops. Gold, crowdsourced.
