Karibu By Wachira

Karibu By Wachira feels like being at a family member's home sitting in the living room having a good time laughing, singing along with the live band, (sometimes) dancing, and of course eating all while sipping a nice glass of wine. The vibes are welcoming and the staff is just genuinely nice and always accommodating. The owner(s) are very personable and generally makes it a point to meet or speak to every guest.Karibu By Wachira is truly a place you'll have to check out at least once even if it's just to pop in for the ambiance, you will not be disappointed.

Stepping into Karibu By Wachira is like stepping into a warm embrace. The ambiance is instantly welcoming, like you're in a family member's living room, ready for a good time. Live music fills the air, encouraging laughter, sing-alongs, and maybe even some dancing. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready with a smile. The owners are personable and make a point to connect with every guest, creating a truly special experience. We highly recommend the red wine flight - the wines were exceptional, with the Wachira Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon and The Leopard: Wachira Black Label Muscat standing out as truly unique and delicious. Karibu By Wachira is the perfect spot for any occasion, whether you're looking to relax, play games, sing karaoke, or simply enjoy top-notch wine in a fantastic atmosphere.

Came here with my friend on a Saturday an hour before closing because we wanted to do a local tasting. What we didn't know was that they normally stop tastings an hour before closing, but they were really accommodating and let us indulge in the "safari" tasting experience that goes well with the interior vibe of this location. Staff was friendly and welcoming and the layout just felt very warm and cozy, perfect atmosphere just just sip on some wine and catch up with my friend, and the music taste lvl was an A+. If you're in the area I'd definitely recommend you check them out, will have to come back for another glass of their Zinfandel which ended up being my favorite from our tasting experience.

Excellent service and even better wine. The viognier and Dr. Chris are my favorites as I am a huge white wine fan and a selective red drinker. My husband and I enjoyed the company of the community of staff at this establishment, including the captivating stories that were shared. This tasting room is a great spot to stop by any day of the week and enjoy great sips definitely try the point cake!

What a wonderful experience at this establishment.Celebrated my bday drinking wine at this Black owned wine lounge in Alameda. Service was Impeccable and the ambiance was on point. Even talked briefly with the owner Chris Wachira. Amazing story.Plenty of spaces to sit and wine taste. They even of have a DJ on certain days. Noise level is elevated when the DJ is there, otherwise this is the perfect place to catch up with life.Please check out this spot if you want to relax in the company of exquisite wines while unwinding in a serene atmosphere.Street parking.

Karibu means welcome in Swahili and this wine lounge completely embodies that! We immediately felt welcome and a part of the family, so to speak. The staff is knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service. And the wine is so good! We got the red flight and each one was unique and delicious. The cab and rose especially were unlike any I have had before. Definitely recommend visiting Karibu if you're looking for an evening to relax, play games, or sing karaoke plus learn about wine and sip something top notch!

I recommend this place, good atmosphere, the staff were wonderful and the drinks were delicious. I took a few friends there for their first time and they loved it! Highly recommended! They even have live music and DJ's some nights

The event was popping. It was a grown,sexy, and colorful vibe. Everything was amazing as soon as I stepped in the door. Literally everyone makes you feel so Karibu(welcomed). The vibes were Amazing and the ambiance was incredible felt like I was in Kenya . From The artwork to that chandelier I was so I aww I can't believe how far Dr Chris and Chad have come (well I can believe it because I saw the footwork they both would put it when they would show up to my past job Alamar years ago) for them to to have their own is just a testament that you can achieve if you believe.. I love the people I came in contact with while I was there and most importantly I love the priceless conversations. To the newcomers like myself, Y'all will leave this place feeling more confident than you walked in wanting to come back for more. So Please come and check it out. Y'all know how we say, Pull up and Tap in!!!!!Only thing I regret is not taking pictures but this ain't the last time I'm pulling up. This is just the first time of many. Im taking pictures next time and gone be on my journalistic tip inviting ppl to speak on my Podcast. Oh hold upp and the food appetizers that I tastes was on point. Thanks Chef ‍ the customer service was like all night from the top to bottom. Can't express how much I appreciated the love . *And shout out to Fern also. You're so f**king dope. Thank you for letting me pick your brain and connecting me with other amazing people. It was such a blessing and hella inspiring to witness such black excellence all in one building. Wishing nothing but the best for y'all. And that wine tasting tho sheesh I wish only y'all would sale bottles of that Chad wine I tasted because that hits hard

What I love about this place is that it's laid-back and casual. A lot of wine bars can be a little stuffy but this one seems to be all about community and family. They even allow children to come in with their families and allow you to bring in your own food. Where have you ever found a wine bar that would let you do that?! I love that the owner is a black woman, and that they have great music and of course great wine. It's definitely worth a visit, or two, or three.

It's a nice place to stop by and try. I liked the ambiance. The entrance is on the street (not inside the market hall- I suggested that they put a sign on the door). Friendly service, nice atmosphere. Major kudo's to the sommelier for strongly suggesting (and providing a taste) that I taste instead of purchasing blindly- (I just learned that: "natural wine" isn't my thing and learned a lot about natural wine aged 4 years) especially since I was purchasing a bottle as a gift. I wasn't crazy about the reds, but enjoyed the whites and sparkling wine. Nice place.I'll be back!
