TEMECULA, CA — Peltzer Farms in Temecula is reveling in its "Pumpkin Festival," offering mini-train rides, a petting zoo, mini-tractor driving, food, wine and other festive fall activities for the 2023 season.
The annual fest was inaugurated by the Peltzer family in 2007. This year's event began on the first day of fall— Sept. 23 —and continues until Halloween night.
"We can't help but feel incredibly grateful for all the memories we've shared with y'all," the Peltzer family announced on their Facebook page. "Let's embrace the magic of each passing season and create new moments that will last a lifetime. Here's to the adventure ahead, filled with laughter, love, and endless joy!"

There is also face- and pumpkin-painting and games for children that include "feed the pig" and "rope the steer."
The Peltzer family's winery is open for business most days during the fest, featuring products straight from the 25-acre vineyard.
Short trips aboard a 12-passenger train are available, and recreational panning for "gems" provided by the vineyard's Temecula Mining Company can be enjoyed, according to organizers.
Live musical entertainment is scheduled four days a week.
Entrance fees are $2 on weekdays and $3 on weekends, though children under 2 years old are admitted free. Additional charges apply for some attractions.
