The Wine Room is a hidden Oranjestad gem for serious wine lovers — a candlelit, speakeasy-style cellar with one of the deepest wine selections in Aruba, hosted by sommelier-owner Monrick who personally walks guests through pairings, regions, and varietals. Reservations essential, memberships available, atmosphere unforgettable.

About The Wine Room

The Wine Room sits on L.G. Smith Boulevard in downtown Oranjestad — easy walking distance from the cruise port, the Renaissance Marketplace, and Plaza Daniel Leo. The space is intentionally intimate (under 30 guests) with low lighting, exposed-brick speakeasy design, and quiet enough music to actually have a conversation. Monrick (the owner and sommelier) is the kind of host who turns a wine flight into a wine education. Open evenings Tuesday through Saturday.

Cheese boards, charcuterie, and small bites are all curated to complement specific wines. Memberships available for repeat visitors with significant per-visit savings.

$20 concierge fee, non-refundable unless we cannot get you a table. We charge it to keep tables for guests who really show up: no-shows cost restaurants a table and keep other visitors from getting one. It covers us calling the restaurant for you, passing on your occasion and requests, and following up until you have an answer. If the restaurant cannot fit you in, we come back to you with alternatives, and if the restaurant is fully booked and we cannot get you a table, we refund your $20 in full.

Your table is not booked until we email you the restaurant's confirmation. Questions? WhatsApp +297 567 8664.
