Community is at the core of everything we do. From an intimate tasting led by one of our catadores to a full buyout featuring over fifteen wines open. Our goal is to expand your palate with the best of Latin America — Chile, Argentina, Colombia and beyond.
Our flagship in central D.C. and the only location with a by-the-glass wine bar. Book it after hours for a private buyout, or gather for a seated tasting among the 1,500-bottle Latin American cellar.
