Sommelier-curated and European-focused, Caves Wine Bar & Shop at 1410 North Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas's Leucadia district stocks more than 150 wines available for on-site pours or retail purchase at the same shelf price. Owners Gavin and Amy Barnes launched Caves as an online-only wine retailer before launching this brick-and-mortar location in fall 2024, bringing region-specific education to a tasting format that complements the French-inflected dining at nearby Le Papagayo. The rotating by-the-glass program pours in 3-ounce and 5-ounce servings, and Tuesday blind tastings offer four-wine flights covering two whites and two reds. A monthly wine club delivers two bottles per cycle organized around a single global wine region, accompanied by a detailed education sheet covering grape varieties, terroir, and winemaker profiles, a curation model that extends across Leucadia's specialty retail scene alongside GOODONYA Market + Wine Shop. The most allocation-limited pours feature grower Champagnes, Barolo crus, and single-vineyard Burgundies sourced through direct importer relationships outside traditional wholesale distribution.
