An absolute MUST when visiting Mérida. Do not leave merida without visiting Bacchus Wine Bar and the owner, Enoch!!! To start, the service is amazing. I was in the service industry for 10+ years and Enoch’s service will blow your mind. His passion radiates through him. In my 4 days in merida, I visited twice. Enoch took the time to do a wine tasting of both red and white wines. He broke down their region and flavor profiles. He cared enough to ask where we were visiting from and even made recommendations for places to visit while here. On our second visit, he remembered us right away and told us he wanted to spoil us… and that he did!!! An additional wine tasting as well as he recommending his 3 cheese platter to start.. he knew my friend cannot eat pork so Enoch showed us all his menu options. While classic music played in the background and dim lights loomed over, we enjoyed the amazing salmon spaghetti. The hot honey with almonds is absolutely amazing and I was so happy to find out he sells it individually. This was easily my best meal while I merida. Enoch has made us feel right at home and I cannot wait to come back. If you visit Merida and don’t stop here, even for only a glass of wine, you are mistaken.

Had dinner last night at Bacchus. What a wonderful experience. Was greeted by the owner, Enoch, immediately and seated and before we settled had a complementary taste of wine in front of us. Enoch then led a tasting of several reds from Mexico, all new to us. We made our choices then moved on to ordering tapas. All of the food and wine were excellent and the service was outstanding. Live music from a great singer/guitarist made the evening perfect. Highly recommended. Thank you Enoch and your staff for a great experience.

Friendliest wine bar I've ever been too. Owner and staff were engaged yet relaxed and made all happy. Large variety of great wine. Also nice and quiet an unexpected treat. Hope to find out way back some day.

Enoch operates his establishment with passion, humility, and a sense of kindness that is rare. You can tell he loves what he does and that he takes great pride in his services, food, and wine. This has easily been the best gastronomic experience that I have had in Merida and furthermore at any other wine bar - and I have previously worked at one. If you have to eat at one location during your stay in Merida, eat here. Let him guide your wine experience, order the cheese board, order the spaghetti, and enjoy your evening. I promise you that you will. If I could convince him to open a shop back in the US, I would. 10/10 no notes.

We visited the wine bar a few times whilst in Merida. The owner was so welcoming and knowledgeable about the local wines. We reserved a table for our last evening in Merida and it was exceptional. Amazing wine, cheese board and entertainment. It really made our last evening very special. Would highly recommend if you enjoy good wine, local cheese and meats board and fabulous entertainment.

On vacation in Merida, we had to come to Bacchus as many times as possible!! The Mexican wine selection is very impressive and the wines themselves outstanding! The service was so welcoming and hospitable! They made us feel like family. I can't get wait to come back! Thank you so much!!!

What a gem of a wine bar. The owner is also the sommelier, and his warmth and knowledge immediately set the tone for a truly welcoming experience. The space is intimate, cozy, and beautifully curated—perfect for lingering over a glass (or two). As a solo, mature woman traveler, I felt completely comfortable and genuinely welcomed from the moment I arrived. The wine selection is outstanding, and I especially appreciated being offered small samples before choosing. The food is equally delicious and thoughtfully prepared. A place that feels personal, relaxed, and special—highly recommended.

Lovely evening. Went in for a glass of wine. Ended up with a lovely platter of cheese and meat and many wines later. Very welcoming.
