Oranjestad by Day & Night: Your Guide to Aruba's Capital
The complete Oranjestad guide: shopping and sightseeing by day, restaurants and nightlife after dark. Plus the best tours starting near downtown
AddressThe Wine Room, L.G. Smith Boulevard, Oranjestad, Aruba
The Wine Room is about a 10 minute walk from the cruise port in Aruba. The person who owns the place is a chef and is VERY knowledgeable about what he sells. It was an intimate experience meaning that we were the only 2 people doing the wine tasting and tapas. Couldn’t recommend the wine room for the wine tasting and tapas excursion.
We love coming to The Wine Room because it is so welcoming and just a classic piece of old Aruba. The food and the wine are delicious, but the relaxed atmosphere and the attention to detail is a much needed respite in a world that moves too fast. Many thanks to Monrick for not only his wine expertise but for his open heart and friendship. A visit to The Wine Room should not be missed on your trip to Aruba!
You definitely have to visit The Wine Room while in Aruba! It’s a great getaway from the high tourist parts of town. I selected the wine and food pairing. The ambiance, food and staff was excellent! Monrick was an amazing host, very knowledgeable about wines from all over the world and made you feel like you were dinning at home with your friends and family. It was an unforgettable experience!
If you’re looking for a special, one of a kind wining & dining experience in Aruba, look no further than the Wine Room! My family has been coming to Aruba for over 14 years now, and this was a fun, unique find! From booking the initial reservation, Monrick, the owner and sommelier, was in constant contact and wonderful with communication, even when we had to make a modification to the reservation. When we arrived, he personally greeted us and there were special touches on the table to celebrate my parent’s wedding anniversary. The meal was fantastic, beautifully plated and paired, with the true star of the evening, the wine! The wines were wonderful and ones we had never tried before. Dessert was great as well! We would definitely recommend this enhanced dining experience for a special occasion or just stopping in for some delicious wine tasting! We will definitely be back!
It reminded me of a underground speakeasy. The use of the light in the room really gives to a romantic and chill vibe amongst friends. The low lighting is totally a win at this place. The range of wine available is well priced and gives so much variety! I loved it here and would love to come back. There are also memberships available as well that are reasonable. The pesto and dip was a fav and the cheese plate. The owner explains to you the type of wine you are drinking as well. There is also a space for a more intimate dinner as well. I know I’ve said a lot but this place is awesome!
