Calvert Woodley is a proud, family-owned institution with a rich legacy that spans decades. Our journey began in 1982 with the merger of two local icons—Calvert Liquors, with roots dating back to 1949, and Woodley Wine & Liquor, established in 1966. Each brought its own history of quality, passion, and community spirit, laying the foundation for what has become one of Washington, D.C.’s premier wine and spirit shops.

 

Over the years, Calvert Woodley has grown to be much more than a destination for exceptional wines and spirits—it has become a cherished gathering place for friends, families, and neighbors. Our deep roots in the community have allowed us to share countless celebrations and milestones, while our commitment to local events, charities, and neighborhood initiatives continues to strengthen the bonds that make our community so special.

 

For years, we have been dedicated to offering an exceptional selection of wines and spirits, backed by personal, knowledgeable service and a commitment to value. Our longstanding relationships with customers, suppliers, and the local community have been the cornerstone of our success, ensuring that every visit feels welcoming and uniquely memorable.

 

Now, as we embrace a new chapter under the leadership of the Patel family, with Jay and Tanvi Patel at the helm, we honor our heritage while eagerly anticipating the future. The Patel family is devoted to upholding our tradition of excellence and deep community involvement, building on our storied past with fresh energy and a steadfast commitment to the neighborhood we serve.

 

Join us at Calvert Woodley, where tradition meets innovation, and every glass poured is a tribute to family, community, and exceptional service.
