ABOUT US
"Like most good stories, ours began with a glass of wine. The first time we met was on the 4th of July. I was managing a winery in Washington, and he was there to play music. As I poured him a glass of wine, our eyes met, the fireworks went off, and the rest is history. Now, nearly a decade later, our shared love for wine, music, and each other became the inspiration for Lula Wine Bar & Bistro. We invite you to be part of our story. Join us in creating your own unforgettable memories, over a glass of wine." - Crystal
