Wine Bars in Palm Springs

“Some places you discover. Others you return to — year after year, like a ritual you'd never dare break. Counter Reformation in Palm Springs is the latter, and every visit only deepens the devotion.

Dark, intimate, and dripping with atmosphere, this is a wine bar that takes the craft seriously without taking itself too seriously. The vibe is effortlessly cool — candlelit and unhurried, the kind of room where time loosens its grip and conversation flows as freely as the wine.

Speaking of which — Britney. The woman is a gift. As sommelier, she curates this list with a connoisseur's precision and a true lover's instinct. She remembers what you liked, anticipates what you'll adore, and somehow always lands on the exact pour you didn't know you needed. Her knowledge is vast, but it's her warmth that truly elevates the experience. In Britney's hands, every glass tells a story.

Year after year, Counter Reformation earns its place as one of our most cherished stops in the desert. It never disappoints. It only gets better.

See you again next year.“

“I went this morning to have brunch with my friend, & Melody was our waitress. She was great. She went above & beyond for us. We had the endless bubbly & she made sure our drinks were topped off everytime. She was also very friendly as well. I will be back 😊 & the food was fantastic too. Can’t forget about back house 😋“

“Found this place on a quick google search for nearest restaurant, and I was not disappointed! I sat at the bar as a solo diner and knew I was in the right place by the number of regulars at the bar.

Drinks and food were great. I didn’t get a pic of the Heavenly Hibiscus martini, but I highly recommend if you like hibiscus flavor. The ahi salad was fresh and light.

Staff were lovely and attentive.“
