It's Party Time!!

Welcome to Bacchus Wine Cellar

Bacchus is a warmly accented boutique nestled among the historic neighborhood of Georgetown. Carrying wine and spirits ranging from artisinal, unknown estates to the most coveted chateaux, the breadth of our wine collection holds something for every budget and every palate. Our spirit collection features rare and unique bottles with ample of the ‘hard to find’ sort you once enjoyed but can’t locate. Years of travel to wineries around the world inspired the shop´s owner, Bassam Kahouaji, to create a wine experience where the nuances of friendship and wine can each compliment the other. As such, the shop is a popular gathering spot for wine enthusiasts, from around the world and the neighborhood alike. While you never know who you might meet on a visit to Bacchus, you will always be greeted by Bassam or one of his passionate expert staff who will be as helpful and engaged as you need. We are open and sipping Monday thru Saturday from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Sundays 12-6 p.m. More sipping is done Thursday – Saturday 6 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
