An intimate date in Rechavia's Wine Bar

Want to experience fine alcohol but prefer a slightly more neighborhood option?

On the (huge) menu, you will find a variety of wines from countries such as Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Chile, and more. Beyond the categories of red or white wines, you will also find a menu of rosés and sparkling wines and a selection of dishes suitable for couples, such as the aperitif plate for tasting.
