The return of the annual Temecula Valley Bluegrass Festival this past weekend brought some of the top bluegrass bands in the nation to the rustic Tucalota Creek Ranch all to benefit local school music programs and music student scholarships.
“This was just what we expected,” Tim Moyer of Moyer Entertainment Group, said. “We saw nearly 1,000 visitors come and enjoy the intimate festival that was enjoyable in a very easy way at the ranch. And this time it was all for nonprofit causes.” Moyer Entertainment Group organized the comeback of the Temecula Bluegrass Festival which was dropped from the city of Temecula’s calendar last year.
The event made the sounds of bluegrass music, country gospel and traditional country music ring even truer to the tradition of early America to some visitors who camped right next to corrals housing some of the top world western cutting, dressage and running horses being trained by internationally known trainers.
Tucalota Creek Ranch owners Kay and Alan Needle and son Josh were pleased with the special event at their 22-acre, professional horse training ranch and their by-invitation only TCR Cellars winery at 39560 Benton Road outside of Temecula.
“We don’t have many events here,” Kay Needle said, sitting in the VIP section of the large arena where the bands played. “This is special.”
Alan Needle said they hope to work with Moyer on other special events at the ranch.

We are so excited to be hosting the Temecula Valley Bluegrass festival, April 28,29, and 30th at Tucalota Creek Ranch. Event Information and ticket sales can be found at temeculabluegrass.com and inquiries should be directed to Tim Moyer at tim@temeculabluegrass.com or 442-444-0068

Mark your calendars for April 30th from noon-4:00p for the next TCR Cellar's Wine Club Event. We have a few special things planned for you. We are introducing our new wine, Mai Baum Malbec, featuring our own 3 day Eventing Trainer, Tamie Smith and the horse she is fortunate to have teamed up with, Mai Baum (known to us in the barn as Lexus).  

We are also excited to team up with Mike and Sherri McCoy, owners of Mad Mike’s Worlds Greatest Sausage.  They will be on hand to do tastings and pairings with some our wines, as well as having an awesome lunch available for purchase.  Mad Mike’s is a locally owned company that supplies food to many surrounding restaurants, not to mention, a whole lot of fun!!! The great sausages from Mild to Wild will amaze you, as well as the delicious mustard varieties, jellies, pickles, olives etc.​

As usual, wine tasting or a glass of wine is complimentary to our wine club members.  The sausage tasting is only $5.00; we are confident you are going to enjoy as we did. We also welcome Mad Mike’s club members to do a wine tasting for only $5.00 as well.  Guests are welcome and may enjoy both tastings for $15.00.
​
Please RSVP by email or Call/Text 714-914-9378 by Monday, April 25, so we can make sure Mike can plan for us all. 

We at TCR feel very fortunate and proud to have been a part of the PEDAL The Cause ride, 2015. 

Over 300 riders made the 75 mile trek to the Ranch to enjoy an afternoon of music, food, and camaraderie. They spent the night at Camp PEDALton only to get up early next morning to ride back to San Diego. They did it all in support of a World Without Cancer. You can find out more about Pedal the Cause San Diego here.

Hosting an event like this at TCR was a pleasure. How could our venue work for your next event?

We invite you to join us on Saturday, July 25 starting at 1:00 pm for the summer Wine Club Member Pick-Up.

We are providing a pork slider lunch for you to snack on while you enjoy our ranch and a glass of our new wine, THE BLEND.

The lunch and glass of wine is complimentary to Wine Club Members.  Your guests are welcome for a fee of $15.00

The summer Club wines are the 7X Rhone style, and The Blend- a central coast red blend.  This wine, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Syrah is a delightful wine that is fruit forward and medium-light body, making it a great summer red. The 7X will go great with your next steak or pasta dinner. 

Please RSVP by the 19th so we can plan the food!!! RSVP to Kay at 714-914-9378 or send us an email.

Sure hope you can join us!
Cheers, Kay and Alan
