Temecula’s Prelude to Europe Village Reopens
05.28.20
Temecula Valley’s beloved Europa Village just reopened Prelude to Europa Village. With thoughtful modifications and health and safety guidelines set forth by the State of California and Riverside County, Prelude to Europa Village will provide a wine and dine experience for guests and Société wine club members to enjoy handcraft premium wines in the classic Old World traditions of France, Italy, and Spain, and delicious menu options including a taste of the El Matador Burger from the soon to open Bolero Restaurante.
-
Nestled on more than 45-acres of rolling hills and at the entrance of Temecula Valley in a relaxing and socially distant environment, the modified services for Prelude at Europa Village include:
-
All alcohol sales are for consumption on-premises and must be accompanied by a purchased meal in the same transaction
-
Members can enjoy a complimentary glass of wine, however, they must purchase a meal, which includes any food item from the limited menu, in the same transaction
-
Each individual guest must order a food item (guests can not split food)
-
All food items will be served with single-use plates and utensils
-
Members and guests can select from five pre-selected “wine flights” to enjoy a tasting experience
-
All staff will be wearing masks and gloves, enhanced sanitation and disinfecting procedures will be in place, social distancing and tables will be spaced six feet apart
-
Guests are encouraged to wear masks while on the property and to practice social distancing
-
No reservations are required
-
Europa Village will also continue to offer its Sip At Home offerings for bottle purchases and curbside pick up
Coming soon will be the anticipated opening of Bolero at Europa Village on Friday, June 12. The Spanish winery will welcome Société wine club members and guests to wine and dine at the new restaurant and village —vibrant with rich colors, bold flavors, and an air of spontaneity. Bolero will operate similar to Prelude and the tasting room will be open for wine purchases by the glass or by the flight with the purchase of a meal, and the new Bolero Restaurante will welcome guests for breakfast lunch and dinner with reservations recommended.
Stay tuned for more details on the exciting opening, talent behind Bolero Restaurante, Brio boutique, and the exclusive, private casitas.

Utopia Euro Caffe Reopens at The District
05.28.20
The popular Utopia Euro Caffe at The District at Tustin just reopened. Utopia’s full menu including delicious coffee drinks and premium teas, fine pastries and other Euro-inspired salads, sandwiches, pasta, and desserts, will be available for takeout, curbside pickup and delivery via third-party apps like Grubhub, Doordash, UberEats and EZ Cater.
For curbside pickup orders, guests are asked to call Utopia at 714.352.5789 to let them know they are coming. Guests are then instructed to drive by Zone 1 for pickup. There will be signs at The District for Zone 1, which will be located at the inlet on District Drive closer to Bar Louie.
In addition to following the State and County’s safety protocols, here are extra measures that Utopia is doing.
Note that guests are requested to wear their own masks and practice social distancing inside the restaurant.
According to Utopia:
“We have marks on the floor to show them where to stand. We have designated one entry door and one exit door to control the flow of people.
Dining inside the restaurant is temporarily restricted, however, we have reconfigured tables on our patio so that guests can dine with a minimum of 6-feet apart for social distancing.
Restrooms will not be available for use at this time.
Pickup orders will be set next to the door so that guests will not have to come in all the way to the cashier.
An overnight cleaning crew will disinfect the restaurant with sanitizer with EcoLab’s peroxide disinfectant (recommended for COVID-19 disinfecting).
Rest assured that Utopia employees will be wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). All of our front of house employees will be wearing cloth-lined masks. Our back of house employees will be wearing full-face shields.”
