The Wine Bar at The Little Nell

The Wine Bar is Aspen’s coziest après-ski address, recently refreshed with an Alpine chic décor and an array of seating arrangements. Discover our winter bar menu with delectable bites, specialty cocktails, beers on tap and by the bottle, and wines by the glass, bottle or porrón—a traditional glass wine pitcher that originated in Spain and is a fun and interactive way to sip!

Award-Winning Sommeliers

The Wine Bar is proud to have an award-winning wine program, led by a reputable team of sommeliers. Overseen by Wine Director Chris Dunaway, awarded Sommelier of the year by the 2024 MICHELIN-GUIDE, our knowledgeable staff aims to immerse you and your party in an extravagant Aspen wine experience. The team has continued to maintain a level of excellence while earning the Wine Spectator Grand Award every year since 1997 and receiving the World of Fine Wine’s “Best Hotel Wine List in the World” recognition in 2023 and 2024, while also archiving the remarkable feat of graduating 13 of North America’s Master Sommeliers, the most of any establishment in the country. With that said, every guest will be enthralled by the level of charisma and expertise each sommelier brings to your dining experience.

Flavorful Wine Selection

The Wine Bar features an extensive list of rare wines and different wines by the glass, charcuterie and cheese boards for light bites, as well as a full bar menu. As our on-site cellar has a wine collection of over 20,000 from the world’s highly esteemed vineyards, including Roulot and Romanée-Conti in Burgundy and Ridge and Screaming Eagle in California, this Aspen wine bar will feature a rotating selection to ensure your palate is fully satisfied every time you visit.
