The Journey
1. Shop our wines & spirits
2. Savor Cocktail hour
3. Dine in the garden
We have created a wine shop to feel like your own private cellar. Pick your wines or spirits from our curated selection, sourced from smaller organic wineries and artisanal distilleries.
At the bar, you will a variety of crafted cocktails made with local ingredients using new techniques to deliver drinks paired with bites full of intense nostalgic flavors from across the Mediterranean.
Pair your wine with our Mediterranean dishes; from housemade pastas, wood oven pizzas, and signature dishes like the Seasonal Bounty Salad, an exciting eggplant dish imagining if Moussaka was from Gaza, and fish in vine leaves, all celebrating local ingredients and perfect for sharing.
OUR CELLAR
Dara's wine & spirits selection is hand picked by its co-founders: a sommelier and a wine trader.
We directly import our wines and spirits so that you can enjoy superlative wines with your meal or at home, at a fraction of the price of any wine list.
Expertly selected and perfectly stored!
