Bar Esquina Among the World’s Top Restaurants for Wine

We are thrilled to announce that Bar Esquina has been honored for its outstanding wine program in Wine Spectator’a 2024 Restaurant Awards, celebrating the world’s best restaurants for wine. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated Sommelier and Wine and Beverage Director, Nizuniro Altamirano, for this incredible recognition.

“Our wine mission has always been to curate the most varied, gem-filled and inclusive wine selection for our patrons in Cabo; and this has become a never-ending pursuit over the years. At any given time, in Bar Esquina, you can find some of the current best Mexican wines, trendy (but impeccable) orange wines from Friuli, obscure dessert wines from Greece made from indigenous varieties, and of course classic Bordeaux and Burgundy wines. This wine mission evokes a commitment to excellence in wine service, from the moment that we open your bottle, to the moment we pour the last drops of liquid sunshine in your glass. At the end of the day, we are devoted to your wine and dining experience so it becomes a sensorial part of the most important thing happening in our restaurant, sharing your beautiful moment with your beloved ones,” said our Sommelier and Wine & Beverage Director Nizuniro Altamirano.

Bar Esquina has won the Award of Excellence, that recognizes restaurants whose wine lists feature a well-chosen assortment of quality producers along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style.
