Wally's

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Beverly Hills Institution Since 1968

Wally's Wine & Spirits has been a fixture on Canon Drive in Beverly Hills since 1968, making it one of the longest-running wine destinations in Southern California. What began as a wine shop has grown into a multi-faceted destination where an exceptional cellar, European and French-leaning food, caviar, and a full events program coexist under one roof. Wine Spectator recognized that depth with its Grand Award — the publication's highest honor for wine programs — a distinction that speaks to the breadth and curation of the list rather than any single vintage.

The Cellar Behind the Experience

The wine selection spans continents and decades. Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, and Rhône sit alongside Napa Valley Cabernets, Sonoma Pinot Noirs, and bottles from Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, and beyond. Fine and rare offerings — including library vintages and futures — give serious collectors a reason to return regularly. The same inventory that earns critical praise also backs the dining room, where wine pairing is woven into the experience rather than treated as an afterthought.

Dining, Gourmet, and Events

The food side of Wally's reflects the same European sensibility as the cellar. The gourmet pantry carries caviar, artisan cheeses (including truffle brie from Maison de la Truffe), charcuterie from producers like 5J and Olympic Provisions, smoked fish, and imported pantry staples. Private dining, catering, and tastings round out a program built for guests who want more than a meal — whether that's a curated wine pairing dinner, a private event, or a catered gathering with a private chef.

More Than One Address

Beyond Beverly Hills, Wally's operates locations in Santa Monica, Las Vegas, and Malibu, but the Canon Drive address remains the original — and the one carrying the weight of more than five decades of wine expertise. For anyone serious about European and French wine culture in Los Angeles, it is a straightforward first stop.
