Thornton Winery, located in Temecula Valley, California, has a longstanding history as a venue for outdoor concerts. Established in 1982 by John Thornton, the winery initially focused on sparkling wine production utilizing the *méthode traditionelle*. Over time, it became recognized for its picturesque setting and regular summer concert series which hosts nationally known musicians. The venue’s amphitheater provides an intimate outdoor experience within the working winery grounds. The estate produces a range of wines beyond sparkling varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. It remains a family-owned operation as of late 2024.
