Desert glamour, by the glass

From mid-century Palm Springs to the resort towns of the Coachella Valley and the inland cities of Riverside County, this region pairs sunshine and style with a small, growing number of wineries and tasting rooms.

Most pour wines made from grapes grown elsewhere in California, offering a relaxed way to taste between pool days, golf and desert adventures.
