Top Reasons to Go to the Inland Empire
Wine Country: The idyllic, ever-expanding Temecula Valley is home to family-owned and resort-style wineries cooled by faint ocean breezes.
The Mission Inn: One of the most unusual hotels in America, Riverside's rambling, eclectic Mission Inn feels like an urban Hearst Castle.
Apple country: In the Oak Glen apple-growing region, you can attend an old-fashioned hoedown, take a wagon ride, and sample apple pies and homemade ciders.
Soothing spas: The lushly landscaped grounds, bubbling hot springs, and playful mud baths of Glen Ivy are ideal spots to unwind; Kelly's Spa at the historic Mission Inn provides a cozy Tuscan-style retreat.
Alpine escapes: Breathe in the clean mountain air or get cozy at a bed-and-breakfast at great mountain hideaways like Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear.
