Our community started in parking lots at C Street and Emma Wood: selling wine from the trunk of our car, drinking in our wetsuits, and forming new friendships.

Soon, our community grew and we started hosting parties in warehouses throughout Ventura, creating a place for good stories and neighborhood bonds that separate Ventura from the big cities and other beach towns.

When we found this gem on Main St., we immediately jumped at the chance to build out our dream space, pulling together everything we had, and grabbing our friends to help us along the way.

Together, Midtown is a neighborhood shop that reflects the values of our community: creative, unpretentious, and welcoming. A place born out of human connection and timeless truths that never go out of style.

We know that wine culture can be intimidating, egotistical, even snobby, but that’s the last thing we want.

Midtown Wines isn’t about making what we do exclusive. We’re about expanding the trunk of our car and getting a parking lot big enough to host the entire block.
