Enoteca Saint VinSaint was a enoteca located in Vila Nova Conceição, in the city of São Paulo, founded in 2008.[1][2][3] It was a pioneer in bringing natural wine to the Brazilian market.[4][5][6][7]

History

Enoteca Saint VinSaint was founded on January 22, 2008, by Lis Cereja and Ramatis Russo, who pioneered the sale of natural wines in São Paulo.[8][9] Named in honor of Vincent of Saragossa, the bar, founded in Vila Nova Conceição, became a pioneer in introducing natural and artisanal wines to São Paulo's nightlife.[10][11][12][13]

Starting in 2010, the wine list consisted entirely of natural, organic, and biodynamic wines.[2][14][15] At one point, the winery offered 400 different wine labels, all organic, artisanal, and produced by the couple themselves on a small rural property in the Mantiqueira Mountains.[16][17] The venue also featured a bistro and a selection of craft beers.[18][19][20][21] In addition, it also held workshops and organic wine tastings, which initially took place inside the restaurant but later had to be expanded.[22][23][24][25] Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures, the restaurant has started offering delivery service for its bottles of wine.[26][27][28]

Closure

In November 2025, it was announced that the wine bar would be closing.[29][30] According to the statement, the company never fully recovered from the challenges that arose in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to changes in beverage consumption in the post-pandemic era, and reflected on the lack of collaboration within the organic production sector and whether customers truly care about sustainability in the kitchen.[30][31]

Reception

In 2018, it was included in the list of the 10 best wine lists in São Paulo published by Paladar, by the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo.[32]
