• Wine Bar • Windsor
Booked 11 times today
We believe that wine should represent the place from which it was grown and the four seasons that pass through that place in a given year. We showcase vignerons who grow their fruit in a thoughtful way and who guide that fruit to bottle with the gentlest hand possible. The Alps is your rifugio on Commercial Rd. Drop in for a wine, stay for pizza. We are open and pouring/cooking 7 days a week. Our style of pizza is inspired by pizza Romana. Thin crust, thoughtful and delicious toppings. The perfect partner to a delicious bottle of wine. The front bar has a few private tables as well as shared bar seating, great for enjoying the atmosphere. The courtyard is great on a sunny day and has heaters for the cold ones, and the cabin is home to a roaring fireplace for when it gets really chilly.Whilst reservations are recommended because we fill up quickly, we always keep a few tables aside for walk-ins.
