The Wine Bar is closed for the season, reopening in December 2025. The venue is available to book for private events in the summer. For more information, please contact events@thelittlenell.com.
The Wine Bar is Aspen’s coziest après-ski address, recently refreshed with an Alpine chic décor and an array of seating arrangements. Immerse yourself in the sounds of vintage vinyl as our DJ spins a curated selection of classic tracks & 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!
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 consistently upheld a standard of excellence, earning the prestigious Wine Spectator Grand Award every year since 1997. The Little Nell also holds the distinction of having graduated 13 Master Sommeliers—more than any other establishment in North America. Most recently, the wine program was honored with both Wine List of the Year and Best Hotel Wine List of the Year at the 2025 World's Best Wine Lists Awards by The World of Fine Wine. With such accolades, guests can expect a dining experience elevated by the charisma, knowledge, and unmatched expertise of each sommelier.
For guests seeking a more private, personalized experience, The Wine Bar is available as a full buyout. This intimate space is available for private, customized wine dinners with dedicated sommelier service, a DJ and more. Please contact our Events Team to inquire about booking the wine bar for a private function or special event.
