Jackson Hole

The Bistro earns its stripes as a reliable wine destination in Jackson Hole — the sommelier influence is visible, the European focus is coherent, and the list has depth worth exploring. Just go in knowing the markups are hotel-resort territory, and steer toward the Old World bottles where the curation is strongest.

The Grill at Spring Creek Ranch delivers a competent, crowd-pleasing wine list that matches the lodge aesthetic perfectly — reliable, a little expensive, and zero risk. If you're here for the views and the bison, you'll drink well enough; just don't come expecting the list to match the drama outside the window.

Bin22 is the wine bar that has no business being this good in the middle of Wyoming ski country, and that's exactly why we're sending people here. If you're in Jackson Hole and you care about what's in your glass, this is the only address that matters.

The Steakhouse at the Wort Hotel is a reliably solid wine stop for Napa loyalists who want great beef and zero surprises — it delivers on that promise without apology. If you're the type who wants to explore beyond California's usual suspects, you'll be ordering your second Jordan before you find anything more interesting.

Coelette is punching above its weight class for a mountain resort town, with a focused list that shows real taste. The markups are what they are in Jackson Hole, but if you order smart — and you now know how — there's genuinely good drinking to be done here.

The Bistro is a reliable, low-risk wine stop inside a solid hotel — it won't blow your mind, but it won't embarrass you either. If you're already staying at The Cloudveil and want a decent glass before dinner, you're in fine hands; if you're driving across town specifically for the wine list, keep driving.

The Silver Dollar Grill is not a wine destination, but it's a perfectly functional place to drink a bottle of something familiar while you celebrate being in one of the most beautiful places in America. Send a friend here for the elk and the atmosphere — just don't send them expecting to be surprised by the wine list.

The White Buffalo Club has the bottle depth and the storage discipline to back up its ambitions, but the list leans hard on safe California names at prices that reflect the altitude and the zip code more than the actual juice. Go in with a plan, zero in on Peter Michael or Patz & Hall, and you'll leave satisfied.

White Buffalo Club is a legit surprise in the middle of Wyoming — a deep, vintage-focused cellar attached to a steakhouse where you'd otherwise expect Kendall-Jackson and a shrug. The markups will test your resolve, but if you're already dropping $45 on a steak at altitude, you're not here to be frugal.

The Silver Dollar Grill is a reliable pour in a legendary room — you're here for the atmosphere and the beef, and the wine list is competent enough to keep up. Don't expect fireworks, but at these markups, you won't feel taken advantage of either.

Persephone West Bank has no business having a wine list this considered for a bakery café, and yet here we are. If you're on the West Bank and you want a glass of something European and thoughtful with your lunch, this tiny three-bottle program quietly delivers.

Wild Sage is the best wine program you're likely to find within a reasonable drive of a Jackson Hole ski lift, and the sommelier presence actually means something here. The markup reality of resort dining keeps it out of Rager territory, but if you're staying nearby and care about what's in your glass, this is where you eat.

Sudachi is a sake bar with a wine list that punches above its weight on pricing — and in Jackson Hole, fair markups qualify as a minor miracle. Come for the nigiri and the Riesling, skip the Meiomi.

Hatch isn't a wine destination and doesn't pretend to be — but for a lively taqueria in the heart of Jackson, the wine list is priced fairly and lands the basics. Order the tequila first, grab a glass of rosé second, and don't stress it.

Calico isn't building a wine program that belongs in a magazine, but it's doing the right things — honest Italian producers, fair prices, and a list that actually matches what's coming out of the kitchen. Send a friend here and tell them to order the Brunello.

Miazga's wine list is the dining equivalent of a reliable pickup truck — nothing glamorous, but it shows up and does the job. In a town full of overpriced everything, the fair markings and honest pour prices earn it a pass. Come for the pierogi, drink without drama.

North Grille is a perfectly pleasant place to eat a steak and watch the sun drop behind the Tetons, but the wine program is an afterthought dressed up with a markup. Order the Ramey, enjoy the view, and don't expect anything more.

Teton Pines is a reliable, if unambitious, wine program — the kind of list that keeps club members comfortable and never embarrasses the kitchen. If you're eating here, order the Jordan, enjoy the mountain views, and don't expect the wine list to be the reason you came.

The Granary is a place where the view does the heavy lifting, and the wine list is content to let it. If you're here for the Tetons, the wine will do its job — just don't expect it to steal the show.

White Buffalo Club's cellar is exactly what it's supposed to be: a polished, California-forward list that earns the room it's in. Pricing will sting, and you won't find anything that surprises you, but the execution is there — and in Jackson Hole, that's more than most.

The White Buffalo Club is a confident, capable steakhouse wine program that plays it safe with Napa's greatest hits and charges accordingly — no surprises, no regrets, just expensive and reliable. Send a friend here if they want a great bottle with a great steak and aren't counting the markup.

Persephone is a bakery that somehow snuck a credible natural wine list past the croissant counter, and we respect the hustle. Markups are steep across the board except for the Lamoresca, but the curation is genuine — and finding Lapierre and Broc Cellars at a cafe in Wyoming is worth raising a glass to.

The Bird is a damn good burger bar and we'd send anyone there for food and cold beer. The wine list is an afterthought at best and a mild rip-off at worst — order a local craft draft and save the wine for dinner somewhere that gives a damn.

Hatch is a genuinely fun spot for tacos and tequila — emphasis on the tequila. The wine list exists only technically, marked up aggressively and stocked with names you'd recognize from a gas station end cap. Order a mezcal cocktail and save yourself the math.

Westbank Grill Bar delivers exactly what a Four Seasons wine program should: proper storage, knowledgeable staff, serious producers, and prices that remind you which zip code you're drinking in. Send a friend here if they're already staying at the resort — but not if they're chasing value or adventure.

Orsetto isn't a destination wine list, but it's a thoughtful, Italy-focused program that earns its place in a town where the default is mediocre. Skip the Super Tuscans, trust the Barbera, and let the Vernaccia surprise you.

Teton Tiger is a genuinely great place to eat pan-Asian food in Jackson Hole — but the wine list is a placeholder, not a program. Order a cocktail or a beer, or bring your own if corkage allows.

Gun Barrel is a dependable steak-and-Cab situation in a town full of them — it won't surprise you, but Jordan next to a bison ribeye in Wyoming isn't the worst way to spend an evening. Just don't come expecting a wine list worth talking about after dinner.

Gamefish gets the Lazy List badge and earns it: the wine program is overpriced, under-curated, and totally indifferent to the remarkable setting it's been handed. Stick to the wild game, enjoy the mountain views, and seriously consider ordering a local craft beer instead.

Bin22 is the best wine play in Jackson Hole, full stop — a retail shop that lets you drink at retail prices while eating solid small plates is a concept every mountain town desperately needs. If you're skiing or hiking nearby and want to drink something better than overpriced Whispering Angel, this is where you go.
