TEMECULA – In celebration of California Wine Month, Visit Temecula Valley and the Temecula Valley Museum hosted a reception celebrating the winners of the second annual Art in the Vines competition.
During the first week of September, 18 local artists transformed Southern California Wine Country into an open-air studio as they painted live amidst the lush vines at 16 participating wineries. After Sept. 9, the artwork was exhibited at the Temecula Valley Museum and the public was invited to cast a vote for their favorite entry. There were 150 votes received. First place went to local artist Jo Dee Luna, who painted at Wiens Cellars. Corrine Haig won second place with her painting from BOTTAIA Winery, and third place was awarded to Tamra Gerard for her painting at Danza del Sol Winery. As
