Intimate wine bar in Palma's Santa Catalina neighborhood with an exceptional selection of Spanish and Mallorcan wines by the glass. Excellent cheese and charcuterie boards to accompany.
Vino Tinto Wine Bar is an intimate specialist wine bar in the area near La Lonja in Palma, Mallorca, dedicated to Spanish and Mallorcan wines with a level of seriousness and selection that stands out in the city's drinking landscape. The bar opens in the early evening and operates until midnight, making it a natural destination for either a pre-dinner aperitivo or a serious post-dinner wine session. The wine selection by the glass is the heart of the operation: the list rotates to highlight producers from across Spain's principal wine regions — Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, Galicia — alongside a curated section of Mallorcan wines from the Binissalem and Pla i Llevant DO regions. The staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the bar actively steers guests toward less familiar producers. The food is limited to sharing boards: ibérico and Mallorcan cheese selections, charcuterie including several grades of jamón, and a rotating board of tinned conservas. These are not incidental accompaniments but properly curated, chosen to pair with the wine programme. The physical space is small — a handful of tables, bar seating, warm low lighting — and the atmosphere is conversational and calm. It is a bar for people who care about what is in their glass.
