La Venencia Madrid

Madrid's timeless wine sanctuary

"Not too far from the lively centre of Sol, on a street where the hustle and bustle of the city fades away, lies a truly unique gem: La Venencia."

Not too far from the lively centre of Sol, on a street where the hustle and bustle of the city fades away, lies a truly unique gem: La Venencia. As you step inside, this wine bar immediately envelops you in the aroma of aged barrels and fine wine. From the vintage cash register to the chalk-written tabs and the antique furniture that seems to have stood the test of time, La Venencia exudes an aura of the early 20th century.

It’s a time capsule where time seems to have stood still, offering an escape from the fast-paced modern world. Here, you can unwind amidst the charming ambiance while the bar’s black cat playfully darts under the tables. Known for serving some of the best sherry wines Madrid has to offer, La Venencia specializes in wines originating from the unique grape varieties of the Andalusian province. These wines are perfectly complemented by light snacks like cheese, olives, and high-quality cured meats.

La Venencia isn't just a wine bar; it's an experience that leaves a lasting impression. So, immerse yourself in its ambiance and savour the moment, but remember, photography inside is strictly prohibited. Let’s preserve the authenticity of this remarkable establishment.

La Cabra en el Tejado

Gluten free for real!

The top dishes for me are the pancakes with sweet and savoury fillings (all gluten-free) and the Middle Eastern inspired offerings, especially the falafel.
