The Wine Room is located in the heart of downtown Palo Alto in a beautiful Spanish adobe with a red-tile roof, stucco walls and a charming courtyard with gorgeous ceramic tile, terra cotta vases and decorative wrought iron work. Wine Room owner Michael Garcia restored the building to its original grandeur prior to opening what has become Palo Alto’s most popular wine bar. As a result of the restoration, The Wine Room won accolades from the prestigious Stanford Heritage Society.

Inside The Wine Room guests will find two cozy rooms perfect for enjoying a glass of wine or appetizer with friends. The front room includes a spacious bar, fireplace and lively atmosphere, while the back room provides an intimate setting with comfortable couches, area rugs and soft lighting.

The wine list features a wide range of wines by the glass to suit every palate and budget and includes boutique wines from around the world.

The Wine Room is available for private parties. An on-staff caterer and event planner are available to manage every detail of your party or event.

Owner’s Bio

Michael Garcia grew up in the restaurant business in the Bay Area working his way up from dishwasher to general manager. But wine has been his lifelong passion. While attending Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, he spent his weekends traveling to the many wineries of the Central Coast learning about the art and science of winemaking. It was during this time he decided he wanted one day to create a wine bar where everyone could share and develop a passion for wine.
