Our flagship in the heart of Shaw: wine, spirits and gourmet products with the welcoming yet sophisticated flavors of Latin America — home to our founding wine club and a year-round calendar of tastings, classes and events.
Our store opened in March 2016, but our concept was founded in 2011. We proudly represent the rich history and vibrant culture of the Caribbean, Central America and South America, all integrated in a cultural retail space in the heart of the nation's capital. We sell snacks, groceries and home goods that we hand pick from various regions of Latin America. Learn, taste and enjoy!
This location was voted one of America’s 50 Best Wine Retailers 2020 by Wine Enthusiast. Visit us at 1550 7th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001 — or call ahead for phone orders; we deliver across D.C.
Around 1,500 labels with a deep Latin American core — Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Central America — alongside Spain, Portugal, Italy and the USA, plus signature spirits and craft beers. Buy six bottles for 10% off, twelve for 15%.

Our wine club is a passport to Latin America. We launched it in March 2016 — the first physical wine shop in the country to run one — and it has grown from 12 members to more than 400.
Two themed bottles a month, a monthly release tasting, and 10% off everything you buy, at every location.
From intimate wine tastings to a full buyout of our Shaw wine bar, our team builds Latin American food-and-wine experiences around your group — tastings, seated dinners, receptions, and corporate gatherings. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll design the menu and pairings to match.
Our Private EventsEasy to reach and easy to park. There's street parking right on 7th Street NW, plus a parking garage in front of the Giant supermarket a short walk from our door.
