part wine shop, part champagne bar, and part restaurant, cavinist vinoteca offers a truly all-around experience for visitors, located in a two-story house with a lovely balcony, fitting right in with the chic district of ipanema.

with just steps away from praça nossa senhora da paz, the spot makes for a great evening stop, to pick out just the right red wine or enjoy a full meal - the restaurant-bar generally attracts a professional, sophisticated crowd or those looking for good service, fine wines, and chic décor.

the wine list is seemingly endless, with over 2000 labels to choose from, hailing from such far away places as south africa, germany, australia, and new zealand - of course, all the well-known wine regions are represented as well, including those from the european countries of spain, portugal, france, and italy, to south american chile and uruguay, to name a few.
