The Cheese & Wine Shoppe

Pies! Off the 15 in the reaches between Corona and Temescal Valley is this little diamond in the rough. The first little shelf next to the front registers that you almost completely pass by just to check out the shop is one of the most important shelves in the entire store. It has local daily freshly made pastries. In the fridge display a couple feet away is an assortment of pies. Strawberry, cherry, pumpkin, boysenberry cream cheese, omg. They’re insanely good. There’s also an interesting selection of wines, if you’re not stopping in Temecula, you can grab a bottle of local wine here. Because I love coming to this little joint at Tom’s Farms, I have discovered my go-​to pick ups in cheese, pies, and pastries. Gotta come a few times to figure what yours would be!

This place has everything! Definitely be prepared to spend some cash but it was worth the time we spent there. We had different IPA beers that you can drink on the patio! Also walk around and enjoy your drinks on the premises. We had pizza and a sandwich from the deli that were very good. The seating is very limited so be prepared to stand around and hunt down a table if your lucky you get an umbrella. Nice Sunday hang out. Will be returning.

Tom’s Farms is an old Corona staple that is like an Old Town Temecula or historical downtown shopping area except it is very small: 3 – 4 shops and a pony ride, train ride, shooting gallery, and carousel. Perhaps it can be described as an Old West Amusement Park. BUT, it happens to have a killer wine and beer shop that stocks specialty grocery items like their own pickles, olives, sausages, cheeses, etc. They stocked a shockingly good amount of local beers including BA Stone releases, Ironfire, Aftershock, Manzanita, Packinghouse, Ballast Point, Hangar 24, even Bud Light Chelada Picante. Prices were a tad above what they probably should be, but they were stocking stuff like Hangar 24 Hammerhead and BA Stone one-​offs. Staff was friendly: one person there actually does beer tastings in the back. Every day they have four different beers to try. They also do wine tastings. Overall, definitely worth stopping by for beer and charcuterie.

I really like this store! It has everything a girl could ever want! Huge selection of wine, cheese, breads, crackers, beer, misc other items that you didn’t know you needed to consume with your wine until you laid eyes on it… I could live in this store! The prices really aren’t that bad either. I’ve shelled out more for a lot less before. Plus no price can stop me from buying wine cheese and cracker all at the same time so that I can immediately go home and pretend I’m fancy for an hour or two. You get the picture. There craft beer selection is really nice as well. They’ve got a little bit for everyone in here (even novelty items like hot sauce with weird names). I recommend checking it out if you’re into that sort of stuff or even if your not. I’m sure you can find some goodies here that you’ll enjoy!

Absolutely love this spot, great beer selection and the pizza is the best in Corona, relaxing atmosphere and they play some great music!

There is a good selection of wine and cheese here and bakery goods the pizza and sandwiches are out of this world here they have wine tasting too

Omggg i loooveee cheese and i loooove wine. So This place was heaven to me! The pizza that they sell in the back of the store is AMAZZINGGG. who ever heard of shrimp on a pizza?! well we got shrimp and jalapenos and wow it was the cheesiest most flavorful pizza i think i ever had (probably exaggerating) but its gotta be the Top 3. We also got a huge loaf of wheat french bread along with some garlic cheddar spread, aged white cheddar for our red wine, fresh mozerella cheese sticks, and some other bomb ass cheese which i forget the name of… they also have a HUGE and mean HUGGGEEE assortment of different beer my cousin tried the «Chilli beer» n it was super good tasted like a beer that had some habanero chillis soaked in… 45 min drive for me but definitley gotta stop by again.

This is really the only reason to stop at toms farm anymore the pizzas and sandwiches are awesome on top of that grab a beer from there huge selection of beers and enjoy. They have a great outdoor area to enjoy that beer and pizza. Also there breads are homemade can’t leave without jalapeño bread my wife’s favorite and cheese curds if you haven’t tried cheese curds you don’t know what your missing.

Great selection of breads, cheeses, wines, etc., but a bit overpriced. There bread is amazing– baked there daily, and that was a good deal. Everything else, on the other hand, was a little over priced and can be found cheaper and probably more fresh at places like Sprouts or a local weekend farmer’s market. I will be back for the bread, but that is about it.

My fav store here at Toms Farms. They have a back bar with food that is pretty good. We enjoyed the pizza and sandwiches we ordered. We also picked up some wine, cheese and olives to bring home with some other goodies. Everything was great. We will continue to come back here. Its a great place to enjoy a day out …

My favorite store at Toms Farm. I love the wine tasting and the cheese. Just everything in that store looks delicious. Staff are friendly.
The only thing I didn’t like is the pizza not that great.

Try the tasting area, they have some unusual drinks to try here.

This is I think my favorite store at Tom’s Farm, not for the cheese and wine, but for the baked goods, go figure…
Whole pies for $ 8 (blueberry cream cheese was amazing!)
Loaves of bread, still hot, $ 2 (garlic sourdough, yum!)
A pizza shop in the corner, good smells everywhere.
It gets pretty full, but the lines move fast and you are treated well with a smile.
A must stop if you are in the Corona area, WAY better than I had hoped for!

Great spot in Lake Elsenoire to get locally made condiments, cheeses, olive oils and food or other items. Also has excellent selection of international stuff from Germany, United Kingdom, Southren Ireland, and many other places. Staff is friendly, and vendors give out samples of snacks which is free and fun! Prices are a little higher on some items but quality is higher too! If in Lake Elsenoire area you should consider stopping by.

This became our breakfast stop on the way to Glen Ivy Spa, and despite being nourished for the day with a salami sandwich on hoagie bread I can’t say it was all that tasty. Our cold sandwich tasted refrigerator cold. Tea with tea bags, we start our day with tea. Awfully soggy four-​bean salad on the side. It sounds as if there is nothing to be passionate about here. I’m still going to give it a middling recommendation only because I enjoyed looking at all of their specialty cheeses and import wines, and I bought a loaf of squaw bread (that I threw in the trunk for the spa interim) that I cheerfully ate for the next four days. It’s a worth a stop to peek in, if nothing else. But maybe their hot sandwiches are better than their cold ones. #borderline

Located just of the I-​15, about 20 miles north of Temecula, Tom’s Farms has been in business since forever, at least as long as I can remember. Over the years, it has grown and added new buildings and shops. We have often stopped for a drink, perhaps a bite to eat or just stretch the legs on our way to or from the San Diego area as it is about ½ on our trip. Today was my first visit to the Cheese & Wine Shoppe.
As the name would suggest, they have a wide variety of cheeses and I understand samples are often available but not for this evening. I was surprised to also see a wide variety of freshly made breads and a good selection of crackers on sale. I don’t know why I was surprised, I suppose I was simply expecting just wine and cheese. I could not help browsing the nice selection of hot sauces and found one of my favorites, «Pepper Plant with Garlic.» It is not hot, simply very flavorful and not found in your run of the mill supermarkets.
The wine selection was very wide and featured California wines. Being close to the Temecula wine area, they had a very nice selection of the wines from several of the Temecula wineries, including Palomar Mountain, Maurice Carrie and Wilson Creek champagne. I have to say that I have not seen this wide of selections of the Temecula wines anywhere, but the prices are a bit on the high side.
I noticed a large area of beers was also part of the store, but I did not check it out, as I wanted to get back on the road.
If you have never experienced Tom’s Farm, stop sometime, relax and enjoy!

Located inside of Tom’s Farms, this is the reason why my wife and I enjoy coming here. They have plenty of cheese, wine, beer, jam, and they have the Patio Pizza store.
My wife loves the jalapeño jam they sell here, it’s spicy and amazing with any bread. Speaking of bread, don’t forget to buy some fresh french or sourdough bread, yum. The cheese selection is plentiful and they have free samples for you to try. The beer and wine selection is amazing for all you alcohol lovers. Don’t forget to get some cookies for the kids, gotta buy something for them.
The best part of the Cheese and Wine Shoppe for us is the Patio Pizza store. The last time we ate there, we ordered a cheese pizza for the boys and my wife and I had the hot Italian Sausage sandwich. Oh my goodness, the meat, sauce, and soft bread were unspeakable. What topped off this amazing sandwich was drinking a nice cold Hanger 24 Orange Wheat with it. I was in heaven while sitting outside in the shade.
If you visit Tom’s Farms stop here and get some good eats, drinks, and treats for the whole family.

This is a nice little market. We came in for fresh bread and found a great selection of snacks, sodas, cheese, and wine here too!
As other reviewers have mentioned (like Unilocal friend, Ingrid, and Wendy B.), this store really has rustic charm. The store has beautiful ceiling beams and a pretty mural of the Tom’s Farm truck with some farmers picking grapes. This mural is so cute!
We loved the aroma of their fresh breads. We’ve been told thy the pizza is pretty good here too, so we’re definitely planning on come back for pizza and sodas when we’re here on our next visit.
The service is great here as well. The cashier was friendly and helpful. When she was ringing up our items, we asked her about all those delicious breads and which ones were her favorites.
This is another fun place to stop at when you’re visiting Tom’s Farms!

Wendy B. put it best when she described this place as «An attractive, rustic, but touristy shoppe…» but she was also spot on when she mentioned, «…you can expect to pay more than your average grocery.» The selection is terrific, and the whole store has a nice swanky feel to it.
There are many refrigerated islands scattered about the store, flirting with you to look inside at the delicious meats and cheeses as you meander through the bottle-​lined walls.
I didn’t get a chance to try the pizza’s as I had recently eaten. I wish I lived closer to Corona so I could stop in at my leisure! Definitely a place to check out!

An attractive, rustic, but touristy shoppe, you can expect to pay more than your average grocery. But they have good, fresh out of the oven breads, pies, and other sweet baked goods. The pizza here is pretty good also and will torture your olefactory senses if you do not buy one. And there is an adequate array of cheeses and wine to have a leisurely gourmet snack outside in their park-​like environs. Supplement that with some fresh fruit, etc from their produce shop, and you can have a winner of a picnic. And the shop also has a fun selection of gourmet goods for your own kitchen.
They provide a handful of stalls right outside the store for 1 hour parking, so you can pick up your items more conveniently. But I make no promises on weekends.
