In this episode of Pour Temecula: A Local Wine, Beer, and Beverage Podcast, your hosts Rick DeLucio and Shannon Cole are shining a light on the heart of what makes Temecula’s tasting rooms, restaurants, and gathering spaces so memorable: hospitality. Inspired by the recent Xenia Hospitality Awards, we’re celebrating the people who don’t just serve—they connect, care, and create moments that bring guests back again and again.
You’ll hear from a few of this year’s Xenia winners and nominees, including Walter Carter and Heather Rankin from Danza del Sol, Chef Chris Gimeno, Bobby Castro, and Regan Schneider of Corbeaux Wine & Tea House, and Nate Rivera of Goat and Vine, Two Travelers, and Little Goat. Also joining us is Vito LaFata, founder of LaFata Cellars. Each shares their philosophy on hospitality, meaningful guest interactions, and how they approach creating experiences that feel personal, warm, and unforgettable.
Whether you’re in the industry or simply someone who appreciates a well-poured glass and a genuine smile, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and heart. So pour yourself something good, and join us as we explore the soul of service—Temecula style.
We’d love to hear from you!
