Portland Wine Bar

Portland Wine Bar: Coppia

One of the longest-standing Portland wine bars, we have changed our name from Vino Paradiso Wine Bar & Bistro to, simply, Coppia. After six years in business in Portland, we felt we needed a new name to reflect our passion of being both a great restaurant and a wine bar.

As Vino Paradiso, our wine program has garnered Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence five years in a row, and we are the only Portland wine bar to be able to make that claim. Piedmont is our new, main, focus, but we remain committed to offering fine wines from the major regions around the world.

Please see our glass list below. Full cellar list available upon request.
