What an absolutely wonderful wine place to accidentally stumble upon while getting my morning coffee. James was the name of the gentleman who helped me and really took his time explaining the shop and it’s history and nearly all of the wines in stock one by one. I ended up, leaving with four separate bottles, all new to me, and I am very excited to try them. This place is approachable and well laid out and I will make sure that I visit anytime that I’m in the area. I highly recommend just popping in for a look and maybe a quick sip of wine.
The BEST wine shop/tastings in LA 😤 So affordable and with wines you can’t get anywhere else due to the fact that their importer is a part of their few yet mighty staff. It’s rare to find a wine shop where the owner and staff travels around the world to find extraordinary smaller wineries/producers. Wine Stop does not follow trends, they are tastemakers. And despite the unassuming name, it’s true to it… a perfect place to stop for wine.
They also have snacks, sauces, balsamic vinegars, olive oils, tinned fish, Japanese beers, and more!
The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, so don’t be afraid to ask them for help. Love this shop, they have a customer for life.
I walked in yesterday with specific criteria: a red under $25, perhaps a cab. I walked out in less than 15 minutes with an incredible red for under $22. I loved walking into the wine stop because it felt like I got a guided tour through the shop's wine options. Will definitely go back again!
Happy Thursday!!🥳🥳🥳 aka @winestop’s wine & cheese night🎉
This cute shop is located right outside of Arts District in DTLA and they offer an amazing wine selection at affordable prices.
The owner, Alvarado is super knowledgeable about every wine as he goes to each vineyard in Europe to source his bottles👏🏻
🍽Ordered:
1. Wine & cheese night tickets which includes 3 cheese plates & 3 wine pairings
Their wines are always delicious and each Thursday a different pairing is showcased. The tapas that come with each wine are fresh and keep you filled while the wine is flowing. This place is a great spot to come with besties for a casual and fun time.
🌟Tips:
-parking in that area is a little difficult sometimes but there is a parking lot around the back of the building that you may be able to park at
-come before 8pm since they close around 9/9:30 pm
-get tickets for wine & cheese night in advance on their website
💰Price:
$25/pp for wine & cheese
About two weeks before our wedding, we had to change bar services and scramble to figure out how to provide all of our own alcohol for the event. We contacted Alvaro at Wine Stop DTLA and he invited us down to the shop to taste some wines, confident that he could figure something out for us on such short notice. He let us taste a few different reds, whites, and sparkling options and they were all delicious. Once we picked what we liked, he gave us a bulk order discount and worked with our coordinator to deliver the wines to our venue seamlessly. Truly one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had! We're still working our way through the bottles we have leftover from our wedding but once we're out we'll be sure to re-stock up at Wine Stop!
When considering the purchase of a bottle of wine, the most important name on the label is the importer. When you love a particular bottle of wine, then you share a palate with the importer that made your purchase possible. What sets the best wine importers apart are their abilities to bring wines that are equally stunning regardless of the price. This is what I’ve found with every purchase I’ve made at The Wine Stop and the only other place I can compare it to is Kermit Lynch. You’ll also find a deep informed history provided to you by the connoisseur handling your transactions at the shop.
Outstanding, Phenomenal customer service from Brooke! Give her a raise! I asked about a 100 questions about wine and she answered them all!

Very lovely place, wine is fair priced, very organized.
Hopefully wine tasting opens up in the future
