🌮 Cinco de Mayo Celebration: Andalusian horse demonstrations, all-you-can-eat tacos and barrel tastings @ Raúl Ramirez Winery (4:00 PM – 7:30 PM).

💃Sunday, May 3, 2026: Latin Soul & Self-Care

🍹Anchor Event: Cinco de Mayo Party @ Maurice Car’rie offers the most festive way to close out the weekend with high-energy Latin soul music, tacos, margaritas and more (12:00 PM – 4:00 PM).
♨️Self-Care Sunsets: Mother’s Day Edition @ Murrieta Hot Springs Resort. Just a 10-minute drive from wine country, you can treat Mom to yoga, sound baths and a wellness market (2:00 PM – 8:00 PM).
