🍵 Every cup of tea begins with a landscape. 🌴 Bef 🍵 Every cup of tea begins with a landscape. 🌴 Before it becomes a beverage, tea is part of a forest, a watershed, a climate, a community, and a culture. It carries the story of a place and the people who have cared for that place across generations. 🇨🇳 In Yunnan, China (the birthplace of tea) some communities still cultivate tea within ancient forest ecosystems that have sustained both biodiversity and human livelihood for centuries. Spending time in these landscapes not only changes the way we think about tea, but about food, farming, and what it means to live in relationship with the land that nourishes us. What might our food systems look like if we approached them not simply as production systems, but as relationships? 🧳 In November 2026, SLO-based Tea Sommelier, Jennifer de Treglode, will be leading a pilgrimage to Yunnan to learn from these landscapes, traditions, and communities firsthand.  ➡️ INTERESTED? tinyurl.com/Yunnan-Tea-Journey Words: @sacredmountainteas Photos: @pauline.ferrieres Design: @stephenheraldo

He opened the business with his children, Tomas and Esmée, with premium hospitality as the priority. The wine bar is just steps from the beach and offers local oysters, tinned fish, caviar and chips alongside heavier options like wood-fired pizza, European-style nachos, Nduja and cheese melts, and other shareable bites. The wine list spotlights rare pours from a deep bench of producers, many championing regenerative farming, alongside a few Sinor Family favorites.
🇵🇹 Portugal style wines are on the menu at Monarch 🇵🇹 Portugal style wines are on the menu at Monarch Grove Winery (@monarchgrovewinery) in Grover Beach (@visitgroverbeach where the owners recently opened a new tasting room. 🦋🍷 - - - “On the Move” is featured in the 2026 Summer Issue of @edibleslo Story By Emily Basanese Photography by Sarah Kathleen Monarch Grove Winery’s tasting room has been a fixture of the Grover Beach Amtrak station, greeting riders as they disembarked from the train. Like the butterfly, the tasting room recently migrated away, just around the corner to a larger space. Owners Ercilia Martins and Julie Garcia are excited for this new stage of their business. After that initial trip, Julie was hooked. She began taking winemaking classes and scouting locations for the right space to open a tasting room at home in Grover Beach. They wanted to apply that same Old World approach characteristic of Portuguese winemaking to their wine. That’s when they landed on Monarch Grove Winery. Ercilia and Julie purchased Monarch Grove Winery on the first day of 2024, but their passion for wine started long before their acquisition. Ercilia is originally from Portugal and grew up in the countryside, where her family made their own table wine. She brought Julie home for visits in 2019 and 2022. That’s when Julie first began learning about winemaking from Ercilia’s father, Joe Martins. “I fell in love with the culture and wine, and how food went with wine,” Julie says. “It’s an art.” Transformation has been a running theme in both Julie and Ercilia’s lives, so a winery branded with the Monarch butterfly, a creature that undergoes dramatic physical change itself, was a serendipitous fit. “The Monarch is a symbol of transformation and this whole experience has been a big transformation in our lives,” says Julie. Grover Beach was also spot-on. When Ercilia first visited the small beach town, she instantly felt at home; it reminded her so much of Portugal. Grover Beach may not have the renown of San Luis Obispo or Pismo Beach, but that was part of the appeal. “There definitely has always been a pull to this community,” says Ercilia. In 2018, the two purchased their first home in Grover Beach and
