explore, taste, shop.

The Paradise Pantry wine selection is diverse. Curated wines are here to surprise and delight our guests and collectors.

We endeavor to serve our clients by learning what our customers love, want and might be open to. We often get to taste with them, understand their selections and teach them how to ask for their favorite styles. 

Wine is personal, flavors are perceived by our own diverse past experiences. There are a few universals in what is the “best” wine and yet, we all have different ideas and most are not wrong. In wine, there is something for everyone. 

We work with a ridiculous number of winemakers, distributors, importers and brokers to find delicious wines. We look for wines that pair well with a variety of cuisines and those that take center stage.

We carry easily 400 wines primarily from California, Oregon, Washington State, New York, New Mexico and the world — Italy, France, Spain, Slovenia, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand, Tazmania, Chile, Argentina, South Africa. We love finding new areas that are breaking into creating new wines as well as the standbys that have proved consistency in quality, vintage after vintage.

We research and explore the trends and innovations that are affecting the wine world. We adore those who employ new farming techniques and those who revitalize traditional techniques to create wines with terroir. 

Paradise Pantry owners, Kelly and Tina, created one of the first restaurants in Ventura county to showcase wine and cheese pairings. They were inspired by the rich history of artisan wine and cheese producers in both Europe and America. These “pairings” are complemented in imaginative ways.

It is fun and so delicious to sample something new all year long. Become a member of our Paradise Pantry Wine Club.
