A Family Winery Meets Tea Culture
Owner Regan Schneider, who also serves as winemaker for the family’s Matin Du Bois Vintners, created this experiential destination to showcase locally grown wines paired with over 30 loose-leaf teas from four countries. The restaurant functions as a tasting room where guests can explore wine and tea pairings in ways most people have never experienced.
Located on the first floor of the Truax building at 41923 Second Street, Suite 105, the space features a French flair with modern touches, creating an intimate atmosphere perfect for date nights or special celebrations.
What Makes This Temecula Wine Tasting Room Different

The menu changes seasonally and features inventive dishes like scallops and radishes, kumamoto oysters with herb oil, and perfectly prepared filet mignon. Guests rave about the charcuterie boards featuring carefully selected meats, cheeses, and fruits that complement the wine selections.
The restaurant serves lunch and afternoon tea from 11am to 3pm, then transitions to dinner and prix fixe menus from 4:30pm to 9pm. The prix fixe experience includes multiple courses with optional wine or tea pairings guided by their team of knowledgeable sommeliers. Diners consistently mention the truffle butter and brioche as standout items they can’t stop thinking about.
