6 editor picks in Portland.
6 wine bar places in Portland we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Portland | Wine Bar across every city.
Portland's wine bars often grow out of restaurant kitchens, pairing low-intervention bottles with serious snacks rather than a perfunctory cheese plate. The inner southeast and the Pearl District carry most of them. OK Omens on the Hawthorne and Belmont corridor and Ava Gene's Wine Bar on the Division corridor show the restaurant-attached model, while Andina Wine Bar in the Pearl District works the Peruvian-leaning version of the form.
The naturally focused wine room next door to the former Castagna space on SE Hawthorne in Portland, chef Justin Woodward's food, Willamette growers.
TipThe bar takes walk-ins; the dining room reserves on Resy. By-the-glass list rotates weekly.
The wine bar and lounge at Andina in the Pearl District of Portland, with happy hour tapas paired to Spanish and South American pours, plus live Latin music.
TipHappy hour 16:00-17:00 daily, with a cut-rate tapas menu and wine flights.
The bar at Ava Gene's on SE Division in Portland, focused on Italian regional pours and Willamette Valley wines, with full kitchen access for walk-ins.
TipOrder the antipasti as a snack with two glasses of wine; the kitchen will plate a smaller portion.
The Olympia Provisions bar in SE Portland, with European wines by the glass paired to house-cured charcuterie boards and choucroute royale. Family-friendly.
TipWalk-in seating at the bar. The charcuterie board with two glasses is the editorial pick.
