Rediscovering Amman's Wine Heritage
Amman, a city with a rich tapestry of history, has always had wine in its DNA. Despite being the ancient land of vines, Amman had long lost its roots spanning through Canaanite, Greek, and Roman winemaking. The city’s modern wine culture has seen a quiet yet profound transformation in recent years, with a renewed appreciation for quality wines and the stories they carry. Leading this resurgence is Dara, a project as much about reclaiming the past as it is about creating and celebrating a new wine culture in Amman.
A Home for Wine and Craft
Dara means home in Arabic, and it truly lives up to its name. Nestled among old pine trees, Dara is housed in a beautifully renovated villa in the heart of Amman. This space has become a sanctuary not just for wine lovers, but for artisans and winemakers who have graciously agreed to share their craft. The atmosphere blends warmth, heritage, and a passion for quality, inviting guests to discover wine in a welcoming and accessible way.
Curated Wines, Accessible to All
At the core of Dara’s philosophy is the belief that great wine should not be a luxury. As dedicated wine merchants, Dara has set out to break down barriers to quality wine. Every bottle on their meticulously curated list is available in their dining room, online, and in their shop — all at retail price.
