Venice Beach Wines

Tracking down a genuinely worthwhile spot for drinks in Venice can be trickier than you’d expect, but Venice Beach Wines quietly solves that problem. This unassuming wine bar on Rose Avenue has carved out a reputation as the neighborhood’s reliable choice for a relaxed glass and good conversation.

The wine selection here is thoughtfully curated, offering enough variety to satisfy both casual sippers and those who take their grapes seriously. Beyond just pouring wine, the space doubles as a shop, so if you discover something you love, you can take a bottle home. Their cheese boards are a standout—simple but well-executed, with selections that complement the wines beautifully.

The real draw is the cozy patio out front, which transforms into something special as the California sun dips toward the Pacific. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, where an afternoon drink effortlessly stretches into evening. The atmosphere is decidedly low-key, free from the pretension that can plague LA wine spots.

Whether you’re wrapping up a beach day, meeting friends for a casual catch-up, or just need a mellow escape from Venice’s more chaotic stretches, this wine bar delivers exactly what you need without trying too hard.
