Bitches Who BrunchMarch 23, 2016There are 15 different wines offered for $5 a glass and Peroni drafts for $5 during HH (5-7pm). Try the potato chips and garlic crème fraîche for $2 or the wheatberry risotto for $20. And play bocce! Read more
Gabriel AlvimAugust 16, 2014I went for Summer Restaurant Week and the food was delicious. The Sockeye Salmon was the best I've ever had. Sit outside, the patio lights are pretty neat.
Ebrahim BandookwalaNovember 14, 2014vermouth fans head in Mondays learn about fortified wine try $5 vermouths Cocchi Americano &Carpano Antica all night, or a flight of three for $10. Monday 5 to close;weekly vermouth discussion 7 to 8.- A creative and delicious brunch menu awaits; add a mimosa à la carte for only $4. Duck enchiladas include amazing mole, and the pancakes are peanut-buttery if you're after something sweeter.
Stephanie DeDeckerJune 21, 2016Great Braised Short Rib pasta! Go early on summer nights since they don't do reservations for outside area.
Morgan ThomasNovember 16, 2014Brunch is loud and the host may give you a hard time, but the staff is great the pan con tomato is a good choice. A reservation is necessary for a table but brunch at the bar is allowed.
Brittani HaywoodSeptember 15, 2013Tables outside on the patio are best for overall brunch experiences (less noise than inside). Brunch bottomless mimosas end at 3pm so try to arrive by noon or 1pm.
Brunch is amazing. the staff is friendly and very knowledgeable about the wine selection to recommend the perfect glass based on your tastes and what you're in the mood for.
John HankusJuly 16, 2015Play bocce in the patio since they have a court. Order a nice wine or Italian beer to drink while you make new friends playing bocce.
Raffy TesoroJune 10, 2015Burgers are pretty good! Very nice ambiance especially at the patio in the back. Nice place to kick back and chat!
- Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 12, 2014The Bitches Say: A. Vinoteca is reliable, delicious, and has a great patio and brunch menu. The Bitches awarded Vinoteca with the Best Party Brunch, Best Patio Brunch, and Best Benny awards for 2013!
Chi WalkerMarch 18, 2013Went for brunch, please get the French toast with Lavender honey, and sweet Ricotta! It is amazing! A Light, flavorful Bomb in your mouth! Skip the syrup?!
Katie RunyanDecember 28, 2016Grabbed brunch on a Saturday morning (solid bottomless option). Food was delicious, would absolutelly recommend!
Serious EatsApril 23, 2014Happy hour bocce, anyone? This wine bar has a charming patio and outdoor courtyard.

Diana ThaiJune 13, 2014Such a fun place - bocce and great food and drinks! Great go to for any occasion!- Bitches Who BrunchApril 13, 2016Vinoteca’s duck confit benedict was one for the books. Creative and delicious Read more
Kristen KOctober 19, 2012Great selection of happy hour wines (sangria included)! $5 every day from 5-7pm.
Two slices of bacon is all you will need. The bloody mary's aren't as flavorful or spicy as I like them but the Mimosas a free flowing!
Great happy hour deals, $5 for wine, can't beat that!
Young owner/managmant...they are screwing everyone on wine. They get hooked up on cost. Down with vinoteca!! Please ask me more if you know me. Will gladly explain.
Rita LassiterApril 29, 2010Another popular dish seems to be the sliders. Take your pick of beef, bison, or lamb. You MUST, MUST, MUST try the Bukettraube Cederberg (South African White Wine).- NOOOOOO EWWWWWWJuly 9, 2011Brunch was amazing! The bartender was great, nice and pretty fun! Bottomless bellinis and whatever I ate was fantastic!

Kristy is awesome. Definitely sit at the bar for some TLC. Great selection - I always try to get something different and I'm never dissapointed
Stephanie PhillippyMarch 23, 2011Excellent wine class. Very knowlegeable instructor, excellent time. I know why www. Bitcheswhobrunch.com rated this highly.
Best bottomless brunch in DC - $10 and they mean business! The pan con tomate with egg is delicious.
Aaron TurnerFebruary 10, 2013The Mimosas and baninis are the best! Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 3pm!
Sunday: Flamenco and live music... 1/2 price Spanish and South American wines! I had a great time!
- Bitches Who BrunchDecember 20, 2011The pros at Vinoteca skip the champagne flutes and serve the bubbly in big ol’ wine glasses. We like.
Tinu Abayomi-PaulSeptember 4, 2010Sit at the bar for better service. It's busy so they won't come after you, but as wine virgins we were easily able to get their attention for hand-holding help.
Candice BarnesJanuary 2, 2011One of the best happy hours in town, but get there early. Come after 6 and you'll be standing.
Great bottomless brunch, but be careful - they try to flip your table after about 1.5 hours.
Kashmir HillOctober 13, 2012Do get the cheese plate & kale. Avoid any dish that involves chicken liver (e.g., the gnocchi). Server seemed unconcerned when we said 1 of the chocolates on tasting plate tasted like soap.
Examiner.comJanuary 3, 2011Wine flights like "Bubble Bath" and "Cab Ride" make this a can't miss for wine lovers. Skip the restaurant if you're a foodie though. Read more
the pancakes with ginger butter is a great dessert item to share
Don't hog the table. Other people also have reservations and want to enjoy brunch.
VinotecaDCFebruary 13, 2010Don't miss Sunday brunch at Vinoteca! 11am-3pm with $5 bottomless mimosas/kir royales/bellinis at the bar and $10 in the dining room! Read more
Make sure you enjoy the wonderful outdoor Bocce patio out back !
