Okay, SQUAD, Palm Springs is the place for a fabulous weekend away with your besties—whether you’re celebrating a bachelorette, Galentine’s Day, or just some much-needed girl time. So, what's one essential to make your weekend even better? Wine—and we’re talking the trending, extra wines that'll elevate your weekend vibes.
Picture this: You and your crew, lounging by the pool at your cute Airbnb or chic hotel, sipping on a glass (or three) of the hottest wines Palm Springs has to offer, while spilling the latest tea. Sounds like a dream, right? Let’s dive into what’s popping in the Palm Springs wine scene.
Wine Shops & Wine Bars in Palm Springs: Where to Shop
First things first—Palm Springs is home to the cutest, boutique wine shops that are perfect for picking up a bottle (or a few) to share with your squad. Think quirky, eclectic vibes where you can browse bottles with the same excitement as picking out a new outfit.
Plus, a lot of these places offer tastings, so you can try before you buy!
Setting Up Your Wine Bar
Having an Airbnb or hotel suite with a pool? Then you definitely need to set up your own mini wine bar for the ultimate relaxation station. Picture it: a cute little setup with glasses, ice, and a variety of wines just waiting for that first sip.
We reached out to local experts to find out what exactly you should be sipping on while you're poolside, and here's what we found:
Whimsical Wine Games (You’ll Love These)
John Libonati, the mastermind behind some of the most fun and cheeky wine recommendations at Hyphen wine shop in Palm Springs, has a suggestion you can’t miss if you’re planning a bachelorette or Ladies who Love to Leisure weekend in Palm Springs. Instead of just sipping, why not spice things up with a “wine box”?
Here’s the deal: When the bride-to-be is gifted a box of wine suggestions, it’s not just about picking out a good bottle. Oh no. This box comes with a twist. Every time the newlyweds argue (you know it’s gonna happen), they pull a card from the box. Each card has a funny “wine challenge” based on the fight—like “first time they didn’t empty the dishwasher” or “first fight after the honeymoon.” Each situation has a specific wine to pair it with.
For example, if they fight over not doing the laundry, John suggests a bottle of GroLolo Red—because
"GroLolo" in French literally translates to "boobs" (lol).
For the first disagreement? Grolo White, of course.
Champagne Goals: J. Lasalle
For all you bubbly babes out there, John recommends starting your Palm Springs weekend with some classy vibes—enter J. Lasalle Champagne. This isn’t just any bubbly; it’s a female-owned brand with the slogan "une femme, un spirit, un style" (that’s “one woman, one spirit, one style”). And guess what? It gives you the same sparkling joy as Veuve Clicquot but without the sticker shock.
Wines Going Viral: What's Hot in the Desert?
Palm Springs Bottle Shop (PSBS): The Place for Unique Sips
According to Sam at PSBS, the hot trend right now is orange wine. (No, it’s not actually orange juice.)Orange wines are basically a mashup of white and red wines—made from white wine grapes, but fermented with the skins, giving them a unique, bold flavor and vibrant color. They pair perfectly with spicy food, so if you’re grabbing Indian takeout or tacos, these wines are a must.
Sam’s top pick? Azimut, a natural and organic wine from the Mediterranean Catalonia region. It’s like a vacation in a bottle! He also recommends a Brut Cava (a bubbly Spanish wine) for after a yoga sesh, shopping spree, or post-massage wind-down. Cheers to that, right?
Local Brew Love: Las Palmas Brewery
But wait—Sam also shouted out some local brews that you can’t miss. First up: Las Palmas, a local Palm Springs brewery with a pilsner-style lager that’s crisp and strong. Plus, if you want something a little lighter, go for Girl Beer, a fruity blueberry-lavender brew that’s designed for the ladies. It’s sweet, refreshing, and definitely NOT your typical “girly” beer.
PSBS also hosts wine and beer tasting events, so you and your squad can sip, laugh, and vibe all day long. Checkout their 2 locations: Mojave Flea Trading Post 383 N. Indian Canyon Drive and Market Market 155 Palm Canyon
A Sake A Day Keeps the Stress Away
Okay, real talk: Sake isn’t just for sushi anymore. It’s making a major comeback, and you’ll definitely want to try it while you’re in Palm Springs.
Darrell from Wabi Sabi Japan Living explains that sake has evolved from the cheap, warm stuff to a premium experience. If you’re into high-end drinks (we see you, luxury lovers ), try the ultra-deluxe Dasai Sake. It’s super smooth, with notes of melon, honey, and delicate floral vibes. Perfect for that “I’m living my best life” moment.
Wabi Sabi carries a whole range of sakes, from Dasai 23 (fancy) to Nigori (smooth and cloudy). And guess what? You can book a private tasting for you and your crew!
Wabi Sabi Japan Living is located at 300 N. Palm Canyon Drive

So, grab your crew, pour a glass, and live it up—Palm Springs style.
