Fellow Traveler - An All Natural Wine Bar

Near the Melrose and La Cienega intersection of West Hollywood, a wonderful little treat opened in November 2020. Fellow Traveler, a natural wine bar, opened its doors in the former Pacifique space. Rick Arline with his partner Nick Schultz have brought back the bistro vibes of this little spot with checkered tiled floors, modern blue banquettes, a beautiful wine selection and yummy looking menu. 

Arline became a certified sommelier in 2012 and as the former wine director of Auburn, he has taken his love and knowledge of wine to curate a wonderful, natural wine selection of around 100 wines. He has chosen to feature wines that are organically produced and biodynamically farmed.  

Due to the current pandemic restrictions, Fellow Traveler is operating as a retail/pick up location, but Arline is there to discuss the natural wines he has available to buy! He has also curated monthly wine subscription boxes with 3 bottle and 6 bottle options available on Tock.

Their menu boasts many tasty bites. Chef Gabriel Geiger has put together a selection of cheeses and charcuterie, rillettes, pate, small bar bites and even a cheeseburger! The menu has been kept simple but compliments Arline’s creative wine list, with something for everyone.

While I can’t enjoy this wine bar in the way I would like at the moment, I love that this spot is here and I can’t wait to explore all that Fellow Traveler has to offer.

Food and wine delivery is also available through DoorDash!
