Hotelier Jeff Carter of Carter Hospitality, Carter Estate Winery and Resort, Temecula Part 1

One of the early pioneers in the Temecula Valley in growing premium wine grapes, producing award-winning wines and later offering deluxe accommodations for guests is Jim Carter of Carter Hospitality. His properties in Temecula include South Coast Winery Resort and Spa and Carter Estate Winery and Resort. Today Jim Carter’s son, Jeff, continues the family legacy. “South Coast Winery Resort & Spa and Carter Estate Winery and Resort are truly the diamonds of the Temecula Valley producing a broad portfolio of award-winning wines and providing five-star hospitality.” Jeff Carter joins us to uncork all that is Carter Hospitality.“Situated on 63 lush acres of rolling vineyards in Southern California wine country, South Coast Winery Resort & Spa offers an idyllic setting for a weekend getaway, destination wedding or corporate retreat. With breathtaking vineyard views, flexible indoor and outdoor event space, the finest in farm-to-table California cuisine, award winning wines and a full-service spa, the resort was founded by Jim Carter, who purchased his first vineyards in the Temecula Valley more than 20 years ago. Eventually, Carter was inspired to build the area’s very first full-service winery resort, South Coast, which has since emerged as one of the region’s most acclaimed and popular wineries.” “Situated on 109 pristine acres, Carter Estate Winery and Resort is an ideal wine country retreat in the beautiful Temecula Valley. One of the state’s preeminent méthode champenoise sparkling wine producers, Carter Estate vineyards produces award-winning wines against the bucolic backdrop of Southern California wine country, with rolling hills, verdant vineyards and mountain vistas.
