A two-day Tehachapi wine country itinerary: where to taste, eat and linger, built from local knowledge.
Day one: Cummings Valley estates, Wine & Cattle, Triassic, Tehachapi Winery. Day two: Dorner's terraces, Los Viajeros' view and downtown Stray Leaves.
The region sits in the Tehachapi Mountains of Kern County, roughly two hours north of Los Angeles, which makes the logistics easy and the pace unhurried.
September and October, when harvest meets the clearest mountain light.
Confirm hours before every stop; the family-scale rooms that make this region special also adjust their schedules with the seasons.
Every winery we track in the region, each with its own page.
