A unique Southern California paradise of rolling hills and vineyards, serene forests and snow-capped mountains, the inland empire is abundantly diverse.

Temecula is lovely for its vistas, not unlike the wine country of Northern California with its beautiful green rolling hills and vineyards. Dozens of resort-style and small family-owned wineries dot the landscape.  You can partake in relaxing spas, and fine to casual dining. Or stroll back in time to 1882, at Old Town Temecula, a historical strip of town where locals and visitors dine and shop specialty and antique stores, art galleries and boutiques. Temecula is also just a brief 20-minute drive to San Diego’s many renowned beaches.

The Oak Glen region is a small agricultural community in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. Considered Apple County, you can go apple picking or bike the scenic 5-mile loop past ranches and farmland. Shop or dine in one of the region’s many delightful old towns, and be sure to order a fresh baked apple pie or homemade cider. You can also take a wagon or hay ride and enjoy a picturesque afternoon the family won’t soon forget.

Indeed, the choices are endless in the Inland Empire. Hikers, bikers and outdoor types regularly flock to the quaint forest community of Idyllwild for a good day’s work out and even a hearty rock climb.

Obtaining fresh California cuisine in the Inland Empire is easy, whether you pick up fresh produce at a local farmer’s market or dine out at a farm-to-table restaurant. Throughout the area you’ll find a broad range of dining options from upscale to pub scale. The college town of Claremont features ethnic and contemporary cuisines, including the casually elegant Candlelight Pavilion Dinner Theater, which hosts Broadway-style shows and big-band nights.

Riverside was once considered the citrus capital of the world.  Back in 1873, Eliza Tibbets planted two Brazilian navel-orange trees in her backyard garden. The warm climate and rich soil helped her garden thrive – producing sweet seedless oranges. By 1882, the Riverside area alone had almost 250,000 citrus trees.

Today Riverside celebrates its citrus-growing heritage in the downtown Marketplace district where restored packing houses are part of the downtown panache. The Riverside Metropolitan Museum  is a great place to see and learn about the area’s rich citrus heritage, and at The University of California at Riverside’s Citrus Variety Collection,  you’ll find 1,000 specimens of different fruit trees from around the world. Still today UC Riverside continues to be at the forefront of citrus research.

There is much to enjoy in the Inland Empire, from the multitude of state and local parks to national forests, lakes and mountainous ski resorts. Riverside and San Bernardino counties offer a wealth of opportunities to enjoy life, the four seasons, fresh local dining and wine, and so much more.
