Cafe Champagne

The spacious patio, with its bubbling fountain, flowering trellises, and vineyard views, at this Thornton Winery cafe is the perfect place to lunch on a sunny day. Inside, the dining room is decked out in French country style, and the open kitchen turns out such dishes as braised beef short ribs and cioppino. The reasonably priced wines served here include the signature Thornton Winery sparklers.

Cafe Champagne Restaurant Review

This charming hillside restaurant at Thornton Winery is a slice of Napa Valley just a little over an hour outside of L.A. The dining room’s tables and expansive windows exploit a welcome view of rolling vineyards. An adjoining patio offers romantic al fresco dining, where some top names from the world of jazz perform every summer. Starters include Hawaiian ahi layered with avocado and shiitake...

Good food, good location, over priced. The facility seems a little tired and restroom needs an update.

Met friends for relaxing lunch, which we totally enjoyed as they never rushed us or our food. Relaxed with wine, then enjoyed cheeseburgers and shrimp sandwiches, while catching up. Delightful place, beautiful views and friendly service.

This is by far one of the best restaurants in the Temecula Valley area. A little on the pricey side, but well worth it for what you get. All gourmet. They grow their own herbs for the dishes. Much recommended.
