It’s Winery Wednesday!
Todays winery is located on the Northeast border of Temecula Valley.
Doffo Vineyards
Doffo Vineyards is not like any other winery Handsome and I have ever visited. It is a uniquely charming boutique family owned winery. The winery is built around the former site of a historic schoolhouse. The original school, know as the The Hyatt school was build in 1898. The Doffo family took tireless efforts to restore the old schoolhouse, but sadly, due to the extensive damage over the years it was not able to be restored. The old schoolhouse will forever remain alive in the Doffo Logo.
The wine tasting room.
There is a lovely covered outdoor area to enjoy a glass of wine.
Not only is Doffo known for its micro-boutique wines, but also for its extensive vintage motorcycle collection. Even visitors who do not like motorcycles are impressed with the Doffo family collection of over 100 motorcycles. Make sure you visit the Moto Barrel Room and take a peak.
When Marcello Doffo was young, he fell in love with racing and before he knew it he found himself collecting rare and unique motorcycles. Today he still races and is still collecting. Below are just a few of his motorcycles.
And now for the vintage motorcycles in the barrel room. There are motorcycles lining the top of the walls all the way around the room. I love the collection of Vespa’s and scooter type bikes.
While Handsome and I were looking at all the motorcycles, there was a gentleman also looking who was in total awe of these bikes. He kept pointing at different ones and gasping at how he could not believe they had so many rare and expensive motorcycles.
Doffo Vineyards is like no other winery! Where else would you see one of these old fashioned bikes amongst wine barrels?

How did Wednesday get here so fast? And What a cool winery–those vintage motorcycles are so fabulous.
Carol, the days are flying by! Everywhere you looked there was a vintage motorcycle, it was a motorbike lovers dream.
We haven’t ventured to Temecula for wine tasting yet. I will keep this one in mind!
Christine, it is a great day trip.
Lovely place and those motorcycles are amazing. It relaxes me just to look at your pictures, which I sorely need right now with a couple of deadlines approaching. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Suzanne.
Another Temecula winery that I need to visit – what cool decor and the setting sounds wonderful. I so love your Wednesday posts!
Thank you, Ruth!
Those motorcycles alone are worth a trip out there. I’m with Ruth, you have given so many reasons to make a weekend out of wine tasting in Temecula. You picked a fun topic to write about!
Thank you, Elin. Temecula does make a great weekend trip from anywhere in southern California!
Such glorious photos! You’ve warmed me up on a chilly, gray Colorado day! (And made me want wine despite the chill, too!)
Lisa, I think wine warms the soul! : }
I love, love the motorcycles! I collect miniature bikes and motorcycles. If I could afford to and had a place to keep them I would so collect them too!
I know I say it every week this one is my favorite now:)
Doreen, my pictures do not do justice to the amount of vintage motorcycles the Doffo family have collected!
Omg! The motorcycles look like a Xmas tree- which always go so well with a fully aired cab. Nice
Why yes it does, Cheryl! : }
What a cool place! I’d love to visit just to see all those motorcycles and bikes!
It is definitely like no other winery I have visited before!
Oh this looks like a great place! I love the motorcycle collection. I’d really love to be sitting on that patio having lunch!
It’s fun to look at all the vintage motorcycles, Wendy!
