Our Story

Where the Sunset meets the vine.

Born on the most iconic stretch of Sunset Boulevard, christian's is a celebration of the good life — unhurried evenings, extraordinary wine, and food that earns its place at the table.

Our cellar draws from the world's finest appellations, while the kitchen speaks the language of the season — honest, precise, and deeply pleasurable.

Our Values

We cook with the seasons, source with intention, and treat every guest as though they were dining in our own home. Craft, generosity, and a genuine love of the table guide everything we do — from the bread we bake each morning to the last pour of the evening.

Christian Navarro

Christian Navarro

Christian Navarro is one of the most influential wine industry leaders on the planet. Christian currently is partnering with Oak View Group — a global venue, entertainment, and sports company — to bring fine wine, great food, and luxury to OVG worldwide, including Formula 1, and creating numerous food and beverage concepts now in OVG's many arenas and stadiums across the world.

Christian was President & Principal of Wally's, the luxury retail/restaurant operation revered by wine and food aficionados around the globe. He began with Wally's in the early '90s when it was an L.A.-based neighborhood wine shop. As a partner, Christian has transformed the brand into a world-class, hybrid concept that includes a fine wine retail store and specialty cheese shop encompassed by an elegant, relaxed restaurant setting.

Named "the wine therapist to the stars" by The New York Times, Christian's clients include the most powerful players in the financial, political, art, media, and entertainment world. He is a regular contributor and featured in over 75 significant publications, podcasts, TV segments, and films — including Robb Report, Wine Spectator, Vanity Fair, Forbes, Food & Wine, Bob Pittman's Math and Magic, and appearances in popular films such as Sour Grapes. He has also been named one of the Top 100 Wine Personalities in the World by American Express.

Christian has interviewed numerous celebrities on IG such as Eva Longoria, Mary J. Blige, Ian Somerhalder, Wolfgang Puck, Steven Soderbergh, Kyle MacLachlan, Nobu Matsuhisa, and more. His unrivaled savvy and success have enabled him to develop key partnerships with powerful corporations including Christie's, Delta Airlines, El Cristiano Tequila, and the Four Seasons.

Christian is extremely passionate about giving back to the community and, specifically, works hard to mentor youth and help them fulfill their dreams. He serves on the board of Food on Foot, a nonprofit dedicated to providing the homeless with meals, improving their lives through education, finding them permanent housing, and ending the hunger crisis that plagues our country. He is also deeply involved in bettering public education with the Santa Monica Malibu Education Foundation.
