VinSanto Wine Bar, Shop, and Bistro brings new Wine Life to Houston's West Side





A world of wine can now be found on Houston's west side. Newly opened VinSanto is located in Memorial Green at 12525 Memorial Drive and brings to the area a wine shop, wine bar, and a bistro menu. Whether a bottle to go is in order or a place to relax with friends to share a meal and a few glasses of vino, VinSanto has it covered.

The vibe is casual but a wealth of wine knowledge can be found behind the counter. VinSanto is inspired by the European joie de vivre of Certified Sommelier and owner Riccardo Guerrieri, with a focus on making the exploration of the world of wine fun and easy with his co-owner partners, Giorgio Caflisch an Italian Wine Educator and Stephanie Kukutschka, also a Certified Sommelier. Newcomers to wine can find any needed guidance while connoisseurs can enjoy a higher level discourse about the many offerings that VinSanto carries.


VinSanto features exclusively curated selections with something for everyone, including fortified wines, vermouth, sake, beers, ciders, wine-based cocktails, and mock-tails. VinSanto offers wines from around the world with a particular focus on “hidden gem” wine regions in Italy, France, and Spain. The list will be constantly changing with new selections and new flights of wine to taste being added regularly. With influences from across the globe, guests will enjoy small bites, artisan charcuterie boards, and gourmet sandwiches that can be paired with any beverage and enjoyed in the bar, lounge, or out on the patio.

VinSanto will open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Visit VinSanto's website to learn more about Memorial Green’s new wine bar.
