Sponsored By CRU Wine Shop

The CRU Wine Shop is a different kind of wine store. It was born from a conversation between friends, wine lovers, who wanted to open a space different from those that already existed. Inspired by the wine bars of New York and Miami, Ariana and Xavier decided to open “a coffee shop but with wines.” Located at 621 Calle del Parque next to the Shorty.
