Salt is a tasting room specializing in artisanal cheese, small-batch cured meats, and a dynamic array of wines, beers and sherries.
Our menu is simple. Guests assemble a Tasting Plate from our chalkboard’s selection of 10 cheeses, 10 meats, and 10 condiments. The selections change constantly, making it almost impossible to have the same Salt experience twice.
Our menu changes constantly, but you can view a recent menu to get a better idea of what to expect. To view a recent copy of our wine list please click here.

Salt is located in Gastown's historic Blood Alley, which runs south of Water St. between Carrall St. and Abbott St.
Once you're in the alley, look for the salt shaker flag hanging over our front door. If you get lost, call us at 604-633-1912, and we'll talk you in.
Parking
You can park on the street (the meters run till 10:00, 7 nights a week), or at the EasyPark on Water St. - it's a secure, patrolled lot with 600 spaces, just half a block away from our door. There is more information available on EasyPark's website.
If you're not familiar with Gastown (or if you're a visitor to Vancouver), you can get directions to our location from Google Maps.

Wines
Salt’s wine program features dozens of wines, beer, ports and sherries by the glass and changes on a weekly basis, with fresh selections appearing on the list Friday evenings. We like to bring in unique and difficult to find products, hopefully creating new favourites. All wines by the glass are also available as 2 ounce tasters, and we encourage sampling a wider selection of wines by ordering a Tasting Flight of three 2 ounce portions to pair with items on a tasting plate. Our staff are keen, savvy, and always more than happy to assist with decisions and guide you through them.
Feel free to let us choose your wines and plates for you; we love getting in the driver’s seat. Our aim is for the wine and food program at Salt to be fun and casual, not stuffy or pretentious.
We look forward to sharing it with you.

Below Salt Tasting Room, The Salt Cellar is a unique space which on Friday and Saturday nights doubles the capacity of Salt. The rest of the week, we use it for private functions from birthdays to fashion shows and an ongoing series of Winemaker’s Dinners. Whether you're looking for a sit down dinner for 40 people or a wine tasting event with friends and co-workers, drop us a line at info@salttastingroom.com and we’ll run through the various options for you.
Welcome to the Salt Cellar Series! Join us in our cellar on our 30' communal long table as we celebrate these amazing wine, cheese, and charcuterie producers. Week to week we will feature a different winery paired to the artisanal cheeses, local charcuterie and local condiments Salt is proud to serve. Some months the main focus may shift from wine to cheese, salami, honey, or Okanagan fruit but the purpose will always remain the same...offering artisanal products paired to fine wine in a unique and relaxing atmosphere.
Please note: There are no physical tickets for these events. Once your purchase is completed you will be added to the guestlist. Just check in at the door.
