Two Travelers Wine Bar + Merchant
After a day of Temecula tastings, it can be eye-opening to taste the rest of the world. Two Travelers Wine Bar + Merchant offers exactly that in Old Town: a carefully curated list of wines from around the globe, poured alongside Southern California bottles, with a mission to educate and inspire.
The idea behind Two Travelers
The wine bar was built around the stories each bottle tells — where it comes from, who made it, what makes it distinctive. Owner Nathan Rivera and lead sommelier Darla Rogers select the wines personally, balancing global discoveries with wines from Southern California wine country. The business says it aims to contribute to the Temecula community and leave it better than it found it.
What to drink
Expect a rotating selection by the glass and bottle, from classic regions to lesser-known producers. Because the list spans the world, Two Travelers is the ideal place to compare a Temecula wine you loved earlier in the day with its counterpart from France, Italy, Spain or beyond. Beer is available too, for anyone who wants a break from wine.
As a merchant as well as a bar, Two Travelers sells bottles to take home — useful if you discover something you cannot find elsewhere.
What to eat
The food menu is built for wine: charcuterie, oysters, small bites, salads, sandwiches and desserts. Oysters and a crisp white, or charcuterie with a bold red, make a perfect early-evening ritual.
Wine events and classes
True to its educational mission, Two Travelers hosts wine events and classes. These are a great way for curious drinkers to deepen their knowledge — and a fun group activity for couples, friends and corporate teams. Check the website for the current schedule.
Tips for visiting
- Ask for a recommendation — the staff love to tell each wine’s story.
- Compare regions: a Temecula wine beside a European classic.
- Pair oysters with something crisp and white.
- Book a class if one is running during your visit.
Who will love Two Travelers
Wine enthusiasts, curious learners, couples looking for a relaxed evening and anyone who wants to broaden their palate will enjoy Two Travelers. It is a natural last stop after a chauffeured winery tour: your 1969 Cadillac drops you in Old Town, and you end the day with a glass from somewhere far away, reflecting on everything you tasted closer to home.
For groups who have different tastes, the global list means everyone can find a style they love, and the small plates keep the evening social. It is also a refined spot for a pre-dinner glass before a reservation elsewhere in Old Town.
Because it sits on 5th Street just off Front Street, Two Travelers is easy to fold into an evening stroll — a glass here, dinner nearby, and perhaps a nightcap before your chauffeur takes you home.
Planning your visit
Temecula’s nightlife centers on Old Town, where bars, lounges and live-music venues sit within a few walkable blocks. Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest, and event weekends bring even bigger crowds, so arrive early or reserve a table where possible. Check each venue’s calendar for live music, dancing lessons, trivia or themed nights, and confirm age policies and dress codes before you go. Bachelor and bachelorette parties should plan the route in advance and keep the group together. Above all, never drink and drive: a chauffeured 1969 Cadillac lets your group bar-hop and celebrate, then ride home safely with the top down under the stars. Please keep drinks inside the venues — open containers are not allowed in the car.
Best time to go
Evenings and weekends are when the energy peaks; arrive earlier for a calmer drink and a better seat, or later for the full night-out atmosphere.
