Natural Wine Bottle Shops in Los Angeles


Eastside (Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, Atwater Village)

The Eastside is ground zero for LA's natural wine movement. Within a few blocks in Silver Lake and Echo Park, you'll find some of the city's most respected bottle shops.


Psychic Wines

2825 Bellevue Ave, Silver Lake

This bright, airy Silver Lake shop has become a destination for natural wine lovers seeking rare and exciting bottles. Psychic consistently stocks hard-to-find producers like Gabrio Bini, Lammidia, Anders Fredrik Steen, and La Sorga—bottles that sell out quickly elsewhere. The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable without being intimidating, making this an excellent spot for both beginners and seasoned collectors.

What to look for: Ask about their latest Austrian and Italian arrivals, or let them guide you to something unexpected in your price range.



Silverlake Wine

2395 Glendale Blvd, Silver Lake

One of the original natural wine champions in LA, Silverlake Wine has been supplying the neighborhood with organic, biodynamic, and natural wines for years. The shop offers a vast selection ranging from approachable everyday bottles to special-occasion splurges. Their carefully curated displays in the center of the room make browsing easy, and they carry producers like Patrick Sullivan, Milan Nestarec, and Foradori.

What to look for: Their staff picks near the register are always solid bets.



Wine + Eggs

3129½ Glendale Blvd, Atwater Village

True to its name, Wine + Eggs is more than just a wine shop—it's a beautifully curated provisions store that happens to have an excellent natural wine selection. The bright, cheerful space stocks natural and organic wines alongside fresh produce from local farmers markets, artisanal snacks, and carefully selected home goods. Perfect for grabbing everything you need for a spontaneous dinner party.

What to look for: Their orange wine selection is particularly strong. Also check out their wine club options.



KAMP

This cozy Silver Lake shop embodies "elevate the everyday" with its thoughtfully curated selection of natural wines (all under $40), artisanal chocolates, fresh flowers, and gifts. KAMP celebrates the diversity of winemakers and the connections wine creates. The constantly evolving selection means there's always something new to discover, and the approachable pricing makes it easy to experiment.

What to look for: Their chillable reds and funky orange pet-nats are always worth exploring.

Highland Park & Northeast LA


Highland Park Wine

5918½ N Figueroa St, Highland Park

This intimate Highland Park shop has earned a loyal following for its carefully curated selection of natural, organic, and biodynamic wines, plus craft beers and artisanal spirits. The welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable staff make it easy to explore and discover new favorites. Don't miss their Thursday evening tastings (5–8pm), which offer a great opportunity to sample before you buy.

What to look for: Their biodynamic selection is particularly strong. Ask about lesser-known California producers.



DIA Natural Wine

Location varies—check website

A neighborhood favorite known for its impeccably curated selection without the overwhelming number of options (typically 100–200 bottles). DIA focuses on quality over quantity, with a full chilled selection of whites, sparklings, rosés, and oranges. The staff never upsells—just honest recommendations. Wine club members enjoy monthly curated wines, 10% off purchases, and free tastings.

Helen's Wines (Fairfax)

412 N Fairfax Ave (inside Jon & Vinny's)

This tiny wine shop hidden in the back of Jon & Vinny's restaurant on Fairfax is one of LA's worst-kept secrets. Despite its size, Helen's consistently stocks some of the best natural wines in town—Gut Oggau, Tschida, Matassa, and Costadila regularly appear on the shelves. The bonus? You can order a plate of pasta from the restaurant while you browse and pick your wine.

What to look for: Austrian producers are a specialty. Check their Instagram for new arrivals, which move fast.



Vinovore

616 N Hoover St, Virgil Village

A standout concept: Vinovore exclusively features bottles from women winemakers. The shop carries varietals from across the world, and every bottle comes with a card telling you about the winemaker and the wine. Most bottles are under $75, making it an accessible entry point into natural wine from underrepresented producers.

What to look for: Trust the cards—they're like having a sommelier in your pocket. Great for gifts.

What to look for: Tell the staff what you like and let them guide you to the Natty Corner's current highlights.



Vin on Rose

612 Rose Ave, Venice

Walking into Vin on Rose, you might first notice the fresh lavender. This Venice Beach wine shop ignites the senses with raw, pure, natural wines and a sensory-rich atmosphere.

  • barsiesta.com · Instagram


Hollywood & Central LA


Tabula Rasa

5125 Hollywood Blvd, Thai Town

The anti-wine bar wine bar. There's probably a live band in the corner of this industrial East Hollywood space, and most people are talking about something other than wine. But the wine is genuinely great—owners Nicole Dougherty and Zach Negin focus on natural wine with a "holistic approach to agricultural practices" and make a strong effort to work with female winemakers and wife-husband teams. Zero pretension, excellent snacks.

  • Price range: $$
  • Reservations: No
  • tabularasabar.com · Instagram


Voodoo Vin

Virgil Village

  • Food: Rotating pop-ups
  • Price range: $$ (all bottles $48)
  • melodyla.com · Instagram


Stir Crazy

Melrose Arts District

This European all-day café model (opening May 2023) defies strict definition—equal parts wine bar and restaurant. The intimate eight-table space encourages lingering with soft lighting and warm woods. On Sundays, the team shops at the Hollywood Farmers' Market for menu inspiration. The extensive wine list runs from small growers to classics ($45–$600 bottles, $13–$18 by glass). Notably sustainable: they're only open for dinner Monday–Friday, taking weekends off.

Venice

A wine and oyster bar hybrid within sight of the beach. Dudley's specialty is sustainable seafood, sourced daily—sometimes by the restaurant's own fishing boat. As the sun sets over the ocean, it's a wonderful place to be with a crisp local orange wine in hand on the spacious street-side patio.

  • Best for: Beachside wine drinking, sustainable seafood
  • Food: Oysters, seafood-focused
  • Price range: $$ – $$$
  • dudleymarket.com · Instagram

Snack on marinated olives, charcuterie, and a killer grilled cheese with your glass.

  • Best for: Casual daytime wine, younger crowd, vinyl vibes
  • Food: Snacks and small plates
  • Price range: $$


The Valley


Augustine Wine Bar

14650 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks

Back in business after a 2023 kitchen fire, Augustine is once again the best wine bar in the Valley. The rustic interior looks like an ADU in the Burgundy countryside—a space that begs you to burrow in with hummus toast and something from their Old World–leaning list. Their collection of deep-cut vintages by the glass makes it a great place to geek out on a rare barolo without spending a fortune.



Mirabelle Wine Bar

Valley Village

A hidden gem with a romantic backyard patio that feels like a garden escape. Their list of unique and rare wines, cassette tape–driven soundtrack, and elevated food menu (including Sunday oyster brunch) make it worth seeking out. Open late on Friday and Saturday nights.

  • Food: French small plates, cheese, charcuterie
  • Price range: $$ – $$$
  • mignonwinebar.com · Instagram


Cafe Triste

Chinatown

On weekends, the sidewalk outside this Chinatown natural wine bar is a see-and-be-seen scene. But you can usually walk right up and claim a wooden banquette inside their low-lit space.
