If you haven’t popped into Venice Wine & Coffee Company yet—what are you waiting for? This cozy wine and coffee bar at Nokomis and Venice Avenues is pure Venice charm. Whether you’re caffeinating with a creamy latte or winding down with a perfectly poured glass of vino, this is one of our favorite spots (although we usually opt for the vino!). It’s usually a laid-back little escape from the day, but last night we found ourselves caught up in the Halloween madness downtown 🎃
Picture this: we head out thinking we’re going to chill for a bit with an evening breeze off the Gulf, and a glass of wine at one of our favorite spots…. and instead we run into a gaggle of ghouls and goblins, and (wait for it…) a Corgi parade just wrapping up! There were adorable corgis everywhere. (but honestly, if there’s one thing we love as much as vino, it’s puppers. 🐶🍷) If you’re all about corgis, or just like to smile, check them out on Facebook!
Where: Venice Wine & Coffee Company
Location: 201 W Venice Ave, Venice
The Details:
A fun, beachy wine and coffee bar (connected to a fabulous wine and gift shop).Dave is the man to know at the bar and he’s the best. He always has a smile, a sparkling glass, and a great wine to pour. And Rich is the resident wine shop guy and he knows his stuff if you make it while he’s still there (he makes great recommendations if you’re looking for a bottle).
Sit at the bar or outside at a table, we love the options – especially this time of year when the weather is Venice perfection.
What We Love:
Dave! Stop by one evening and spend an hour (or two!) chatting and sipping with him—you’ll see why this is one of our favorite local hangs. Then, take a sunset stroll to dinner or wander toward the beach.
Perfection in a glass, Venice-style. 🍷🌊
