Welcome

Welcome to Grand Cru located in River West, Chicago. We're a wine bar and store offering wines from all corners of the globe – some you know well, others waiting to be discovered. Take your pick: grab a bottle to-go or savor a glass right here in our bar. We’re all about fantastic finds and we aim for exceptional value across all price ranges.

Our Wine Selection

At Grand Cru, we focus on finding wines of incredible value from around the world. From New Zealand to New Mexico. From Chenin Blanc to Cesanese. Whether you're unwinding at home on a Tuesday night with a refreshing bottle of Spanish Albarino, hitting up a BYOB spot over the weekend with a rich Croatian Plavac Mali, or stopping in to catch up with a friend while enjoying a flight of Pinot Noirs, we've got you covered.

Experience and Staff

Our team is here to guide you to your next "Wow, I've never tasted something like this before" moment. Whether you need help with selections or want to geek out about the pros and cons of carbonic maceration, we're here for you!

Whatever your preference, we can help you discover what your palate truly enjoys, making your next encounter with a wine list much less overwhelming.

TASTING AT GRAND CRU

Enjoy our diverse selection of wines by the glass and explore our rotating regional themes for a deeper dive into specific regions. Guests are also welcome to select any bottle that catches their eye and enjoy it in our bar. For a richer experience, we highly recommend our wine flights, which let you compare different selections side by side to truly appreciate their unique characteristics.
