Phoebe: Vin Room is located in Calgary, Alberta and offers over 100 wines by the glass. We specialize in boutique wines and offer our guests the opportunity to taste wines from around the world in 2 oz pours. Our customers enjoy our upscale casual atmosphere where tapas infused with global twists complement our extensive wine list. Vin Room has two locations in Calgary.
