Amazing selection of natural wines!! Overall very impressed from particular wine snob perspective. Truly enjoyed the tasting flight of international natural wines. They're just as good as non natural wines and better for you in many ways. Simply delicious curated list of wines, and excellent kind service! They also offer fabulous charcuterie boards which I plan to try next time.

Was looking for a nice quiet place to relax, have some wine and talk and found this beautiful spot in Palo Alto. It is easily located with street parking available also there is a parking structure close by. The place is neat and one of the cutest. It gave me the vibe of Barcelona, Spain. The host was friendly and accommodating and we didn't wait long to be served. They have varieties of natural wine and charcuteries. We elected to have a flight so we could try different kinds of wine and aSmall Charcuterie that was just perfect. Their wine tasted good and the charcuterie were excellent. We felt chill and relax and was able to talk and enjoy ourselves. Will definitely return and try them again.

An absolute gem in Palo Alto! We visited on a Wednesday right before 5 PM and made it just in time before happy hour ended. We are so incredibly grateful for the owner for letting the 9 of us squeeze into their beautiful nook. Salvaje has a fantastic ambiance and we absolutely loved their wines (especially the white, rose, and red), their cheese and charcuterie board, and the gifts available for purchase at their shop. Definitely visit Salvaje - you won't regret it!

A wee bit pricey for Australian blends by the glass.

We had a great time at Salvaje Natural Wine bar. The wines are made organically on biodynamic farms or with sustainability in mind. The location is fun with lots of seating indoors and outside, misc. products for purchase, and light food/snacks. We did both the toasts and the Feast and Floral board. Friendly and attentive service.

Salvaje wine bar visit Thur 7/1/21 downtown Palo Alto Previously posted 7/6/21 + 19 pictures 7/1/21. I'm omitting owners name references in re-post 10/1/21. *** Re-posting mysteriously removed, perfectly good 5-star review from Salvaje wine bar excellent visit Thur 7/1/21 downtown Palo Alto. It's *not* filtered out, nor any notification emails received. Just disappeared this morning Fri 10/1/21. It's a wine bar I wanted to try out for a bit. Had it on my list since before Covid I believe. Today was the day! Thirsty Thursday July 1, 2021. Natural wines from biodynamic organic farms.. from all over the world! Wouldn't you wanna see & feel what's it all about? Granted, we're in downtown Palo Alto, so it ain't gonna be cheap. You could probably buy a bottle of any wine on the list for just a little bit more than a price of a glass in here. Yet, how else would you know what you do and do not like? Walked in and striked a conversation with John right away. He's here to bring some business in, obviously, and he's also very nice to talk to and ask for recommendations based on your wine preferences or curiosity. There are pop-up dinners and lunches going on too, but you gotta pickup on that through social media or perhaps ask your server. They do serve the bites and/or daily specials, to accompany your natural wines tasting experience. And I have to say those are quite good! Unique wines curated & sourced from all over the world. Sustainably grown grapes. Natural process of fermentation, without yeast added. Healthier for you by all means. No added sulphates, just those naturally occurring in wine. So much fun to discover a wine that you like - from Spain, from Italy, from Austria, Czech Republic, France, Chile, Mexico, Portugal, Slovenia, Greece, Bavaria, Canary Islands... Steamed Bao Buns $16 Burrata Basil Oil & Hazelnuts $14 Both excellent choices. Burrata comes with a plate of sliced crisp breads. Hazelnuts on burrata I believe were lightly toasted, as I recall. They weren't raw but they weren't necessarily roasted. It went great with funky wines, I must say. Salvaje opened couple months before the pandemic. I'm glad they're functioning now as of July 1. Hopefully it'll work out. [Removing paragraph with owners name reference] Long time owner of several other well known and popular bars & restaurants in Palo Alto & neighboring Mountain View opened this passion project driven by his wife's interest in natural non-sulphate wines. Been wanting to try natural wines for a long time, lucky to be able to sample some by the glass locally. Open only Wed-Sat 5-8:30 pm as of the date of my visit on 7/1/21 Natural wine bar Took some of John T recommendations and they didn't disappoint! He brought in a couple of samples of bubbles, to choose from. Easy winner - Villet Cremant du Jura Rose from France. When I lived in Rome, I'd always go for a carafe of young red vino alike Lambrusco. It was so good. Lambrusco for reference only - it wasn't anything like Lambrusco but it had this funkiness to it, juiciness of sorts. So - this natural wine bar Salvaje features bottled versions of no-sulphates-no-preservatives-no yeast throughout entire process of growing the grapes, and making the wine. Fully organic, grown & produced in a sustainable way wines, from many countries. Amazing and different tastes. Relaxed ambience Off the beaten path of University Ave On Lytton St Former site of Janta Indian restaurant Between Bryant & Waverley Salvaje in Palo Alto.. Natural Wine Bar 7/1/2021 Red 2019 Spanish Pomagrana Tempranillo served chilled $16 gl / $56 bt 2020 Christina Austria Rose $16/gl $56/bt 2019 Bichi El Pancho Red funky natural Tecate-Mexico, Carignan grape $18gl / $63 bt Bubbles NV Duckman Maria pet nut of Fernao Piter Portugal $17/gl $60/bt NV Villet Cremant du Jura Rose France $18gl / $63/bt No sulphates, no fertilizer, natural yeast!

This gem has a very cozy vibe, knowledgable staff and delicious food. We received really personalized service, loved the music selection and enjoyed a beautiful cheese and meat plate. Definitely give the fried chicken a try and check out this place before everyone else discovers it!

Came for some breakfast tacos and coffee and was not disappointed! Salsa and textures in the taco were very good

Great for brunch, but better to get there early to avoid any waiting time.

We organized a private wine celebration here for 40 vaccinated graduating folks and it was a lovely, low key, informal and delicious event. This is a shout out to John and Salvaje for working so very hard to make it perfect. The wines were uniquely delicious and for some miraculous reason we are not hung over!!!

Nice quaint little brunch place and wine bar (they have dinner too). It is a small place, felt cozy. They have a few outdoor seats but go early if you want outdoor seating. The wait staff was attentive but not intrusive.I tried the Las Jaras Glou Glou (red) - was decent. It is served chilled, so something different. The sommelier walked us through the different options, gave us tasting samples. My fellow diner tasted the Kumsha Sav Blanc, she really liked it so she got a carafe.We ordered a biscuit for appetizer but they also got us some olives on the house, which was nice of them. For brunch I got the fried chicken sando, and my fellow diner got the breakfast tacos. The fried chicken was good, had a poached egg - it was done well and was perfectly round. I imagine they pouring it into a template or cutting it after - looked good. The breakfast tacos were decent, tacos were freshly made.Recommend going there for a decent brunch and taste some unique wines.
