The Best Natural Wine Bars
in Los Angeles
(Updated 2023)
The term “natural wine” has become a bit of a buzzword lately, but what is natural wine exactly? “Natural” is essentially a catchall term for any wines produced without pesticides, chemicals and other additives. Wines that don’t have anything foreign added to them or anything natural taken away from them. It must come as no surprise then that I’ve seen natural wine become quite popular throughout LA – trying lots of options throughout the city’s many health-conscious neighborhoods. If you’re searching for the city’s top offerings, look no further than my list of the Best Natural Wine Bars in Los Angeles:

Helen’s Wines at Jon & Vinny’s
Helen’s Wines is a boutique bottle shop located directly at Los Angeles Italian hot spot, Jon & Vinny’s.
While the female-owned bottle shop has their fair share of California natural wines, Helen’s also boasts an impressive collection of European labels as well!
The best way to experience Helen’s is by dining at Jon & Vinny’s. When you’re ready to order, ask your server for help selecting a wine. One of Helen’s sommeliers will swing by to discuss your personal tastes, budget and food choice before selecting a personalized recommendation.
Neighborhood: Brentwood, Fairfax
Secret Tip:
Not feeling Italian? You can still enjoy natural wines from Helen’s at:
Son of A Gun – Seafood
Petit Trois – French
Animal – American (Meat-Heavy)

Part-restaurant, part-bottle shop, Botanica is a Silverlake staple serving up some amazing organic and biodynamic wines.
I particularly enjoy Botanica’s brunch meny along with a glass of orange wine, but they also have an amazing dinner as well.

Ester’s Wine Shop
My favorite part about Ester’s Wine Shop is their accessible menu for both novices and master sommeliers alike!
The menu even starts with a few natural wine definitions for anyone who’s curious about the types they carry.
Then comes the full menu where wines are grouped by format (bubbles, rose, whites, reds) and then by fun tasting descriptions. For instance, the white category includes tasting descriptions like “Minerals! Texture!” and “If You Like Chardonnay…“.
Neighborhood: Santa Monica

Good Clean Fun
Located next to the Level Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, Good Clean Fun is a natural wine bar with quirky decor and design that complements even their funkiest bottles.
They offer a simple happy hour every day from 4-6PM, with different whites, oranges and reds, depending on what bottles are open that day. If you’re craving food, their dinner menu includes allergy-friendly labeling. And finally, if you just aren’t feeling like a trek into downtown, GCF has a monthly wine club membership.
