Surrounded by lush greenery and stunning views, the serene ambiance creates the perfect escape from the daily grind, setting the stage for a relaxing and enjoyable outing. A crucial thing to note is that prior booking is necessary to visit The Alpaca Hacienda. It ensures they can provide personalized attention and maintain a serene environment for all visitors.

The star attraction at The Alpaca Hacienda, undoubtedly, is the alpacas themselves! These fluffy, adorable creatures captured our hearts from the very beginning. The knowledgeable staff enhanced our experience by sharing fascinating insights into the alpacas' care, behavior, and unique personalities. Getting up close and personal with these gentle creatures, feeding and petting them, created cherished memories that we'll carry with us forever.

For those who might be concerned about any potential spitting or playful chasing, fear not! The friendly alpacas can also be fed from the outside of their enclosures, allowing visitors to have a delightful interaction while feeling completely at ease.

After the delightful alpaca interactions and group photos, we ventured into their cozy gift shop, and oh boy, were we in for a treat! The selection of alpaca-related merchandise was truly impressive. From soft alpaca wool scarves to cute souvenirs, each item was of exceptional quality, leaving us tempted to bring everything back home as...

There are so many cool places to discover in Temecula! I can't believe this one is a mere five minutes from our home and we had never been there. Thankfully, we fit in an afternoon there with all our grandkids during a recent visit.

I bought tickets online ahead of time for our large group. Owner Beth was wonderful to deal with, especially when I needed to add 2 more to the reservation. There's even an option, for a nominal fee, to have an additional 30 minutes picnic time with table/chairs provided.

Julie led our visit which started with a super informative presentation in a beautiful gazebo area. She gears the tour to the specific group, so ours leaned towards info for the little ones which was wonderful. She was so patient with lots and lots of little kid questions! It was all so fascinating that I'd love to return to learn more about these amazing creatures.

It was so much fun to then interact with all their alpacas and two llamas on their beautiful property. They're so gentle and sweet, and we all enjoyed feeding and observing them. We had lots of time and Julie provided us with food and instructions for feeding the alpacas. There were also plenty of great photo ops available on the grounds. We ended our visit with a stop in their cute gift shop.

Many thanks to Beth and Julie for a wonderful afternoon. I'd highly recommend The Alpaca Hacienda for children and...

The Private Friends and Family Tour is so well done! Julie was friendly, informative, and accommodating. My mom and I learned some new and interesting alpaca facts, saw some products made from their fleece, and spent some quality time feeding and petting the herd, including their two sweet llamas! We spent the full hour-and-a-half at the farm (which, honestly, I wasn't expecting to do!). Well-paced.

There is a stocked pit toilet at the entrance with a room divider for additional privacy, as well as a small gift shop that you can visit at the end of the tour. I highly recommend booking online in advance, especially if you plan to visit on a weekend.

I highly recommend visiting The Alpaca Hacienda when in the area, even for...
