Hotel del Coronado Wine Bar
Devoted to providing the three most delectable indulgences in the culinary world — fine wine, rare cheeses and gourmet chocolate — ENO wine bar offers guests only the very best in a one-of-a-kind tasting experience, all served individually or in sets of three (also called flights). Whether you prefer red wine, white wine or a little of both, you can choose from a selection of nearly 500 varieties of fine vintage — all presented in marvelous Riedel crystal.
But wine is just one part of the ENO experience. Here you can also savor 50 types of cheese from around the world, or lose yourself in the delightful decadence of handcrafted truffles and chocolate bars–all lovingly prepared by local chocolatiers. All of these gourmet treasures are served in a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere by a staff committed to creating an amazing dining event.

As an added treat, some ENO-Versity classes will be followed by an intimate connoisseur dinner with the special guest winemaker at 1500 OCEAN. Chef de Cuisine Brian Sinnott creates a fabulous four-course dinner that perfectly complements the class’ featured wines.
- August 28 – Class: Four Vines and J. Dusi; The Wild Side of Paso Robles
Special Guest Bill Grant, general manager of Four Vines Winery, will share some of their spicy wild blends inspired by Southern France and Spain. Special Guest Janelle Dusi will also be on hand to show off the latest release of her estate Dusi Ranch Zinfandel.
- September 15 – Wednesday Class: Achaval Ferrer Mendoza, Argentina
This is hands-down one of the very best producers of Malbec on earth! These Malbecs are inky, rich and display laser-like acidity while speaking to their unique sense of place. Join us for a very special Wednesday evening event with one of the owners of the Bodega.
- September 18 – 1500 OCEAN Connoisseur Dinner: Fortaleza Tequila
Join us for a unique cocktail pairing dinner with special guest Guillermo Sauza. Last May, we hosted an experimental cocktail pairing dinner. Chef de Cuisine Brian Sinnott pushed the envelop for food, and Wine Director Ted Glennon crafted some unique and sexy cocktails while sharing the true history of the Agave. This event was such a success that we are at it again!
October 16 – Class & 1500 OCEAN Connoisseur Dinner: Pinot Noir
A cult favorite, Pinot Noir has so many styles from the very best champagne, to full rich red wines as well as rosé and white wines. Join us for a tour through the world of Pinot Noir as we explore wines from California, New Zealand, Germany, Oregon and France.
October 23 – Class: Hill Family Estates
A farming family in California for four generations, this family has cared for vineyards for the most esteemed and sought-after wineries in Napa Valley. In 2001, the Hill family finally began making their own wines and they are impressive. You can’t get enough of these hand-crafted family wines, and neither can we. Please reserve early as our previous classes have sold out.
November 6 – Class: Baxter Pinot Noir, Carignan and Cabernet
The father and son team behind Baxter wines are focused on vineyard-driven wines. Throughout Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino there are so many small, old vine plantings often used in large blends. Baxter produces many single vineyard, single varietal bottlings from these areas. The wines stand apart in the market as they find a wonderful balance between the structure-driven, old-world style and flashy, fruit-forward, new-world style.
November 20 – Class & 1500 OCEAN Connoisseur Dinner: Clairborne & Churchil, Edna Valley
In this green, lush seven-square-mile valley in San Luis Obispo County, world-class Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir is crafted. One of the great secrets of the central coast, these wines are so close in style to their Alsacian influence many of our European guests cannot believe they are truly from California!
December 11 – Class & 1500 OCEAN Connoisseur Dinner: Skylark Wine Company
Coronado native Robert Perkins’s Skylark Wine Company makes some very impressive Rhone and Priorat style reds, and Alsacian whites from Mendocino and Sonoma. In 2006, Alondra Skylark’s Napa Cabernet arrived and this wine is sincere and delicious.
