Submitted by Rancho Mission Viejo

Fine wine. Live music. And the most spectacular golden sunset within a setting of low rolling hills, soaring ridgelines, and panoramas that take your breath away!

These were the sights, scenes and experiences that highlighted last month’s Third Annual Wine Tasting conducted within the prestigious and gated South Orange County hillside village of Covenant Hills, where custom homesites and brand new custom homes are now available for purchase.

Held within the private rooms at the exclusive Covenant Hills Village Clubhouse, the annual event brought residents together to sample an impressive collection of fine Spanish wines in the company of experienced sommeliers, all while enjoying an assortment of hors d’ oeuvres and desserts designed to complement the showcased wines.

“From beginners to connoisseurs, residents with all levels of wine knowledge took pleasure in this exciting annual event,” said Dan Kelly, Senior Vice President/ Governmental Relations and Corporate Communications at Rancho Mission Viejo, the master planner and developer of Covenant Hills. “It was a truly magical evening, complemented only by the fact that it was conducted in such a unique place as Covenant Hills.”

Now offering an extraordinary collection of custom homesites and custom homes, Covenant Hills features gorgeous views of the Santa Ana Mountains, hillsides and valleys, creeks and canyons, and even the distant Pacific Ocean.
