Wishing for a fabulous wine bar in Bend where you can sip and browse expertly-curated wines? Viaggio Wine Merchant is just that. This locally-owned, neighborhood wine shop and bar celebrated its first anniversary on November 1, 2023, and it’s quickly become a local favorite for wine connoisseurs and novices alike.

On a recent visit, I was treated to an evening of excellent wine, tasty nibbles, and an enlightening discussion about each bottle. Whether you’re hoping to find a specific vintage or you aren’t exactly sure what you’re looking for, the expert wine professionals led by charismatic owner Benjamin Richardson can help you select just the right bottle.
