Located against the sage covered coastal mountains in Southwest California, Old Town Temecula is a unique setting for outstanding shopping, dining, and entertainment. Timber lined sidewalks lead the way as you explore and discover the past in this small town that has grown up to be a major visitor destination.  Antiques and crafts play a major role in the retail offerings of the town. Be it furniture or artifacts it is always a serendipitous moment when you find that piece you have always been looking for. The nature of the town lends itself to an exploration adventure because our stores are tucked in the old alley ways of Old Town as much as they are on the main drags of Old Town Front Street and Main Streets. If the "old" does not suit your fancy, be sure to visit the numerous contemporary stores that feature hard to find upscale product lines of art, collectibles, home decor, garden funiture, and jewelry. Finally, the corner of Main and Front streets features, to our knowledge, the only olive oil tasting bar and gift shop that proudly promotes locally grown olive oil.
