For an actual vineyard-and-winery experience, you'll need to leave Palm Springs. Temecula Valley is the closest major Southern California wine region with numerous working vineyards and winery tasting rooms, while Palm Springs itself is primarily a wine-tasting destination rather than a wine-production destination.
