10 Best Wine Bars near Rancho Mirage

“Great place to dine. Great food and very accommodating staff.“

“This isn’t an absolute hidden jewel in Palm Desert. I have been going here for years and the war wonton soup, chicken with Snow peas and cashew chicken is the absolute best! I’m sure the other dishes are just as amazing but these are so great that I get them every time. These people deserve a much higher rating than they’ve been given. Also, the service is very personal and very sweet. And the atmosphere is very quiet and very Chinese. It is my little getaway. I hope it becomes yours…“

“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.“

“Just stopped in this cafe at the suggestion of a store clerk in this shopping center and I’m so glad I took her advice. Calm, cute, clean breakfast/lunch/coffee/wine spot. The Mama Mia panini is excellent— I was surprised at the caliber of the panini (flavorful and very fresh!), it tastes like I’m at a fancy sitdown restaurant! Service was great too. Cute dishes too!“
