Corbeaux Wine & Tea House

By the 1969 Caddy team · Updated November 8, 2026

Corbeaux is one of the most distinctive dining experiences in Old Town Temecula. Rather than choosing between a wine bar, a tea room and a restaurant, it combines all three — creating a place where a carefully brewed tea and a glass of house wine share the table with inventive, seasonal food.

The cuisine

Corbeaux describes its cooking as French technique with Asian influence, inventive and seasonally driven. The menu changes with the seasons, so the best approach is to ask what is new. Expect dishes that balance richness and freshness, designed to pair as naturally with tea as with wine.

Wine and tea

The wine side has deep local roots. According to Corbeaux, the Schneider family purchased its vineyard in 2004, released the first Matin Du Bois wines in 2010 and expanded the Temecula-based label to six labels in 2021. The house pours unique, house-made wine styles that you will not find at the big estates.

The tea side is just as considered, with teas from around the world. For guests who do not drink alcohol — or who have already enjoyed a full day of tastings — a tea pairing is a thoughtful, sophisticated alternative.

The atmosphere

Corbeaux sits on Second Street in Old Town, close to Front Street but slightly removed from its busiest stretch. It welcomes both walk-ins and reservations, making it easy to fit into an evening plan or a relaxed afternoon.

Tips for visiting

• Try a tea pairing — it is what makes Corbeaux unique.
• Taste the house wines from the family’s Temecula label.
• Ask about the seasonal menu; it changes often.
• Reserve for dinner on weekends if your group is larger.

Who will love Corbeaux

Adventurous eaters, tea lovers, wine enthusiasts looking for something different and anyone who wants a quieter, more intimate dinner in Old Town will enjoy Corbeaux. It is particularly welcome for groups that include non-drinkers, since tea gives everyone a pairing experience.

Pair it with a chauffeured 1969 Cadillac day: afternoon tastings at the wineries, then a calm, inventive dinner at Corbeaux, where a pot of tea can be as much of a highlight as the wine. Your chauffeur takes care of the drive back, so the evening can unfold at its own pace.

For anniversaries or a romantic evening, Corbeaux’s blend of French-Asian cooking and personal service makes an elegant alternative to a steakhouse. Let us know your reservation time, and we will plan the day around it.

Because the menu is seasonal, Corbeaux also rewards repeat visits. Locals often return when the menu changes, and visitors who come back to Temecula at a different time of year will likely find something new to try.

Planning your visit

Temecula’s cafes and sweet shops are at their liveliest on weekend mornings, especially Saturdays when the Old Town farmers market brings crowds to Sixth and Front Streets. Arrive early for the best seats and the freshest pastries, or visit mid-afternoon on a weekday for a quieter table. A coffee or tea stop is a smart way to begin a wine-country day — eat something before your first tasting — and a sweet stop is a fun way to end one. Groups should allow extra time, since small shops can get busy and lines form quickly. If you are planning a photo shoot or a celebration in Old Town, a cafe makes a charming meeting point before your chauffeur arrives, and many have treats that travel well for the ride.

Best time to go

Mornings are the classic time to visit, when pastries are fresh and the day is cool; mid-afternoon is a good second window for a pick-me-up between other plans.

Make a day of it

A sample Temecula day built around Corbeaux Wine & Tea House:

1. Late morning — chauffeured pickup at your hotel and a slow cruise up Rancho California Road.
2. Afternoon — two winery tastings with a lunch stop in wine country.
3. Golden hour — drop-off on Old Town Front Street for photos with the car.
4. Evening — Corbeaux Wine & Tea House, then a ride back to your hotel with the top down.

Getting to Corbeaux Wine & Tea House in a 1969 Cadillac

Old Town Temecula is compact and walkable, but parking on Front Street fills quickly on weekends and during events. Arriving by chauffeured 1969 Cadillac solves that neatly: your driver drops you at the door, waits or circles back, and collects you when you are ready — and a red convertible on Front Street’s Western boardwalks makes for the most photographed arrival in town.

Chauffeured hire is $325 per hour with a three-hour minimum, booked and protected through DriveShare. Tell us where you want to go and we will build the route — Corbeaux Wine & Tea House plus a winery or two, a sunset stop and a ride home.
