50 Best Wine Bars in Portland

“Great Neapolitan style pizza. A few vegetarian options. I had the pomodorino and my friend had the diavola. Crust was very good. Would go again. Cute atmosphere. Nice service. Maybe make a reservation especially at peak times. We were able to get in without a long wait but it got pretty busy.“

“Amazing holiday dinner experience! This dinner from start to finish, along with the wonderful service, is one of the best dinner experiences we have had in a while! Relay impressed.“

“I live in the Roseway Neighborhood, I have lived here for 14 years, and have loved every year. This Year, I am excited as many new dining options have appeared, and they are good. Parallel Food and Drink, is one of the best. I have been 4 times now, and am already looking forward to my next visit. The team is amazing, the wine is amazing, the food is amazing, and did I say the team is amazing? Run, don't walk, you won't regret a moment spent here.“

“Dinner was amazing. Staff was amazing. just AMAZING. My son took me as a surprise while visiting him from FL. Thank you for making this moment for us. 5 star!“

“I wish I'd known about this place sooner! Nice wine selections, delicious snack - the salted rosemary focaccia with tomato jam was terrific! Chanelle and Haru were welcoming hostesses, and the place was a very comfortable place to just hang & enjoy being where I was. I'll definitely be recommending it to friends, and I'm looking forward to my next visit!“

“❤️Focaccia: w/ Tomato Chili Butter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Easily our favorite dish of the night
- Tasted almost like a rosso pizza in the best way
- Rich, savory, slightly spicy butter with super comforting bread
- I so wish this was a permanent item

Fennel and Olive Salad, Oregano Oil, Fried Chickpeas ⭐⭐⭐✨
- Fresh and bright but didn’t really stand out
- The fennel and olives were nice together, just not especially memorable

Grilled Beets, Bagnet Vert, Parm ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Really good balance of earthy + sharp flavors
- The parm and sauce worked well with the beets
- Great dish, just not quite “obsessed” level
- loves the vert

Torta Caprese, Cherry Zabaglione, Espresso ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- probably Incredible with red wine
- Rich chocolate + espresso flavors without being too heavy
- definitely needs red wine or it'll dry out your mouth“

“Twice now I’ve eaten at Ox. I came back for the Clam Chowder with Smoked Bone Marrow as it left such a lasting impression. This time, we tried the Skirt Steak with the Radicchio & Romaine Salad. It was a 10/10! Most excellent meal. We also sat at the grille where all the steaks and chops were being prepared, and we loved feeling part of the process. Can't wait to bring family!“

“We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and what a treat! Our server was phenomenal and helped us make great choices for amazing food + wine pairings. The chef also accommodated my food allergies with ease. Highly recommend! We plan to return very soon.“

“Went here as a early Mother’s Day treat with my daughter. Had the sample plate…. So delicious and we learned we liked it all! Also got a sundae….. totally recommend. For take home I got the cookies. This place is a gem! Stop by and check it out for sure if you are ever in the area.“

“My favorite restaurant, hands down- vegan or otherwise. The food is always phenomenal, with creative flavors that make it clear being vegan is never an afterthought. The staff are so friendly and the vibe is warm and welcoming, not pretentious at all, even though honestly the food is good enough that they could get away with being a little pretentious. But instead, they’re grounded and awesome and authentically lovely humans making amazing food. If you haven’t been, GO! Now!!!“

“Play there For the Saturday open mic.As The Ten'N' Ben band we have nothing shy of an awesome night.Come & join in.Either play a gig,listen while sitting amongst the audience,or Both.Hosted every third Saturday by Kirsten.Very welcoming atmosphere.“

“Dynamite. Great crust that's a blend of crispy but soft under the immediate toppings so when you eat it the temp is what wrecks the top of your mouth but then you don't chop it up with the too crisp crust shards. Sauce is lovely, hint of orange. Quality cut meats and veggies. Come here and eat this pie.“

“Stem Wine having Friendship Kitchen (their 3rd location!) inside now is such a match made in heaven! We had the Mì Quảng Tumeric noodles + bottle of Pinot Grigio and kept talking about how underrated Vietnamese food is with wine pairings. Lobster Puffs are also to die for! Their patio area is gonna be the place to be this summer!“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“I love this place! Such great selections on their rotating list, and amazing food to boot“

“I make it a point to visit Canard Burnside on all of my trips to Portland! The unique flavors and presentations on their menu keep me coming back for more. Had the roasted beets last night for the first time and the flavor was out of this world.“

“Hands down my favorite restaurant. Everything about it from the staff to the vibes to the food is nothing short of amazing. I love that the menu changes every so often as it gives an almost new experience every time. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!!“

“Great wine, great service, veri nice staff! PS. Sommelier team from Romania!“

“there are few places in portland to drink actually beautiful natural wine with sexy people. you want to find a new crush? you want to drink something where your heart explodes? you want to watch five people kiss? you can have it all.

staff are helpful and insightful without being cagey or snobs. also a plus they actually know what they’re talking about. for anyone who wants a cheeky drink solo, bring your new flirt, or join the collection of bar flies that share bottles for many hours across the bar. a gem and sacred place in the city, i love it here“

“Delicious wine and tapas and specials. They serve sangria too. One of our favorite spots in Portland. Definitely check out this place if you haven’t because you won’t be disappointed.“

“Oregon Wines on Broadway was one of the highlights of my visit! The owner, Kate, was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about Oregon wine, making the experience feel both personal and memorable. I enjoyed a delicious flight featuring a wonderful selection of Willamette Valley wines, each showcasing the unique character and quality the region is known for.

Kate took the time to share insights about the wines and wineries, which made the tasting even more enjoyable. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing and authentic tasting experience, Oregon Wines on Broadway is a must-visit. I will definitely be back!“

“I’d seen this place a couple times on my way to the train station, and was so thrilled when I had the opportunity to stop in tasting flights of lovely wine, a very chill atmosphere, and Sarah working behind the bar was just a delight!

I cannot wait to go again soon!“

“Perfect place for a special family birthday dinner for a party of 7 after enjoying the art immersive Portlandia institution Hopscotch - great for all ages - interesting foods to try family style, great friendly quirky service - the tomato salad is absolutely delicious we ordered all 4 kinds of Russian dumplings and halibut, chicken and veggie kabobs all very interesting and delicious - the fruit shortcake with lemon cream was the standout surprise flavor bomb - we have been a couple times and it doesn't disappoint - fun place to take folks from out of town“

“Great date-night vibes. Loved the simple menu (I get overwhelmed when there are many options) and intimate feel. My music-snob date enjoyed the tunes, and I enjoyed the romantic lighting, great wine, and variety of seating options (private spots, window seats, tucked-away tables, bar seating). Love that it's not just one big room. Bathroom was clean. Bartender was kind and low-key. 10/10.“

“We recently held a family event at Battle Creek Cellars in Portland, and thanks to Jenny, in particular, and the whole staff in general, it was an amazing experience. Thank you one and all!“

“Home for live Music featuring talented players.“

“Loved it, fun wines that are less commonly seen but really nicely curated. Staff is awesome, industry vets that really care and are great to chat with and happy to put you into a glass that fits what you’re looking for at the moment. Will absolutely be back.“

“Amazing spot! I had the pleasure of enjoying an awesome glass of wine while talking with the owner Eric (apologies if I got this wrong!). They’ve been open for a little over a year and deserve all the love from the neighborhood!

Very homey spot, good beer/wine selections and great staff! Will be back very soon.“

“My wife and I come here for special occasions and last night we celebrated her birthday! As always, the service was excellent, food was impeccable, atmosphere was cozy, and a very enjoyable experience. It is a small place which only adds to the intimacy of service and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy who is very knowledgeable in all his dishes and wines which were incredible as well! We love C'est Si Bon and will continue to come here everytime we want to celebrate something at a special place!“

“So, I went to this place called Forte Portland just to check it out. I ended up getting a coffee, but it was completely silent in there. Not a single person was around, which was kind of relaxing, I guess. There's a piano there, but no one was playing it. And get this, the person working the counter was practically asleep when I walked up. I'm guessing it's not exactly a popular place during the day. Maybe it turns into a nice bar or something later at night.“

“Stopped by Bar Diane on a Sunday and absolutely loved it. We had the $2 oyster special, which were fresh and delicious, along with some tinned fish that paired perfectly with our sparkling wine. Sundays are a great deal here with 20% off sparkling wines, making it even better. Cozy vibe, great bites, and excellent value — definitely a spot worth checking out.“

“Delicious wines paired with fresh sweet oysters and Pinot noir mignonette…. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ check out their wine tour too! Wine tasting from 9-5!“

“Ok for me this is a first. I would call Les.Caves the first speakeasy wine bar I have ever been to. Walking by on the street you would never know it is there. Just slide in past the gate walk down the stairs, look for the Open sign and bam you have a wine bar that is a speakeasy in every way. Low stone ceilings, cool music, a slightly industrial feel and even a swank elevated seating area with a couch this place screams impress your date because you know the cool places to hang out are or hey let me meet a friend for a drink because we actually want to have a co versation.

Some highlights of my experience include: a super friendly and knowledgeable staff, Foood that pairs great with the wine and is way better than you should expect given there is no formal kitchen, a rotating pour list that changed daily and this entire idea of a mystery pour for those of you who live to live on the wild side and don't always have to know what comes next in your life.

If you are doig a pub crawl down Alberta, looking for an after dinner drinks spot or just having a quiet solo night with a glass of wine and a book you really should add this to your list of stops.“

“I popped in here for the first time several months ago for lunch and a glass of wine, and ended up having what could arguably be one of the best Italian cold cut sandwiches I’ve had in my life. Seriously, I wake up dreaming about that sandwich sometimes it’s so good. The pepper spread pulls it all together. My partner really enjoys the Cascadia Dip.

When it comes to their wine and beer selections, there is a lot to choose from. It’s a great place to take friends or family because there is something to suit everyone’s tastes. The service has been friendly every time, and the atmosphere is great. I feel like they did a great job maximizing their space without crowding tables so close together you’re bumping elbows with strangers. Amazing spot to try out if you’re in the area!“

“Love how the owners support the community. Great wine selection and knowledge and always find friendly people to visit while sipping a glass of wine.“

“We had an absolutely stellar meal celebrating our son's 17th birthday. The staff was friendly and accommodating without hovering, and each dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Olympia Provisions is such a perfect Portland restaurant, in that it's warm and inviting without feeling pretentious, and there is clearly immense talent and passion informing the menu and its execution. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Went here before my meal at Luce and was so impressed with the vibes and the wine— this is a great little spot while you wait for a table. It has some delicious affordable options for wine and also some fab expensive options!
service and dinner at Luce was excellent too. Perfect date night.“

“1000 stars. Definitely our local. Always take friends from out of town - everyone falls in love with it like we did the first time. Christopher, Kai and Arlan have become family. Oh, and try wine list is spectacular as are the snacks ❤️❤️“

“I stopped by this wine tasting room while visiting from out of town and honestly, I didn’t want to leave. The space is so warm and inviting. It immediately felt like the kind of spot I’d be a regular at if I lived nearby. Cozy, charming, and perfect for a laid-back evening or a quiet date night.

The wine selection was fabulous. I tried a few different pours and loved what I tried. And the food was absolutely delicious without trying too hard.

What really made the experience special was the staff. They were so kind and attentive. Friendly in a genuine way, not just polite. It felt like they really wanted me to enjoy myself, and I did.

I truly wish I lived closer. This would be my go-to spot. Until next time!“

“Great atmosphere, great service. Exclusivity!!“

“Tried the classic cold sandhwich and was blown away. Every ingredient in it, especially the meat and bread, was too quality. Very nice customer service and chill atmosphere. Only complaint is the limited hours they're open! Also tried my friend's cubano and while it was also delish we both thought it could use a little less ground mustard since it's so strong. Would definitely eat here again!“

“I stumbled in on accident on a day I happened to be really overstimulated and just being here felt physically calming. Mellow, positive music, nice variety of pockets to sit in, really tasty dream iced coffee, low lighting mixed with natural.

It’s just so peaceful“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“Great pho with better than most cuts of meat. My wife got the pad thai and said she enjoyed it very much. Would recommend to friends. They were also very nice to my 2.5 year old daughter and were considerate enough to bring a small bowl for her to share some of our food with.“

“My wife and I got married at this wine bar late last Summer and it was the best day ever. Jack, Stephanie AND Cassi were the best hosts and we’ll always be grateful for the experience they provided us in their lovely space.

We revisited the wine bar this weekend and had a lovely time reminiscing over our previous time in the space while sipping delicious wine, nibbling crackers and cheese and of course engaging with the staff, Elijah and Connor. They were welcoming, charming, knowledgable and attentive. We were happy to hear that Jack was enjoying a well deserved day off ;-)

Always good wine and a lovely time at Backcountry Wine Bar. That’s why it’s our favorite!“

“It’s always a warm & friendly time at Will’s place. He is a master of recommending wines you’ll like. The food is divine. Cheers to Will & Danielle! 🥂🍾“

“We love this place. The staff is amazing, even if you are new to wine but you have an idea of what you would like to taste, from something sweet, bubbly or heavy and dry. They know what to recommend and they are spot on. Jazz nights are amazing. This place is small and cozy and welcoming.“

“Amazing cocktails, decor and bartenders.“

“Miles is a great guy! Drop by to say hello 🤙“

“I’ve been coming to eat here every week and its been some of my favorite food ever and good vibes.“
