This place was amazing!! My fiancé and I came to celebrate a milestone and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Our server, Alex, was extremely friendly and attentive. We will most definitely come back again very soon!!

This place is so amazing! Great atmosphere and incredible staff, Hannah took great care of me. If I lived in the area I would be here every day. Excellent wine selection and delicious food, you can’t go wrong!

Wonderful experience- delicious wine & ports- fair pricing and great conversation! We will definitely be back!

The atmosphere and the server were good. The corking fee was absolutely ridiculous. When I bought a $24.99 bottle of wine I asked if they could cork it, they said yes but there would be a charge.I have never paid more than $10.00 for a corking fee, so i said ok. When she brought me the bill it was $42.25 without tax or tip.. When I asked about it, she said the corking fee is a % of the cost of the bottle. They charged 73% for a corking fee! I called and asked about it and they said it was correct. I feel like I should have told ahead of time what the corking fee would be. I would have just left rest of the bottle for that price. I will never go back and will share my experience with friends and family.

Great atmosphere and gorgeous charcuterie! I loved the wine flights and ingredients on the charcuterie were top notch. Street parking is limited so give yourself plenty of time to find a spot.

Highly recommended. We had reservations for Saturday night but was able to call and change reservations to an earlier time without issue. Waitress was well versed in wine. Did several flights of different wines and carried out two bottles. Live music was a little loud for space but atmosphere was perfect. Cajun dip was delicious. Short walking distance from Amway Hotel. Would highly recommend for any wine lover.

I've been here a few times before (both sitting outside in the tents), but this time was so different, I felt I should let the business know. There were about 8 of us that went for a holiday get-together. There was only one table of 2 inside and 2 people at the bar...so not at all busy. Dang did we get just the worst service. I had to go over to the bar and ask if someone could take our order and even then, the guy at the bar didn't come for 10 minutes. There were other staff there so he wasn't the only one working. We got drinks and several apps and never saw him after the food was dropped off. Seriously, he never. came. back...had to go back up to the bar area where he was getting another order and ask if he'd come back to us. Never cleared any of our plates so we stacked them and put them on the table next to us. I waitressed all through college and I'm the first to defend a wait person but man, the service was just so bad. Such a bummer as we were really excited for this and had had a great experience before. HoW, I can't emphasis enough how much bad service can ruin an experience. I tipped the same I always do and was temped to write a note on the bill but I'm don't want to get anyone in trouble. It also looked like a manger was there who also paid no attention to us :(. Mulled wine was good...dips always good.

We used House of Wine for beautiful cheese platters (some with fruits and some with meats- all delicious!) for our corporate holiday party. Emily and her team were so easy to work with and not only made stunning platters, they were very tasty. Guests loved the variety of options and had fun trying new cheeses. While I love going to House of Wine for drinks and food in person, I can highly recommend them for take out and events now, too!

What a fun place - the atmosphere is amazing here. It is honestly a lovely place. The setup is great. The left side is retail - a great little selection of bottles of wine. The right side is the restaurant. A large bar, high top tables, the front being a cozy section of standard tables. There's also a patio section outdoors. For being a small space, they have it set up to fit a lot of people in there.The wine is good - glasses, bottles, flights. They also have cocktails and beer.The food - damnnnnnn, those charcuterie boards are out of this world. You can just order one listed on the menu if you are busy chatting or just lazy, but if you want to be choosy or make it fun you can build your own - As small or large as you want. And they... are... incredible. Beautiful. Delicious. Seriously, do it.The service here was also spot on. We sat at the bar, and our bartender was fantastic. Hopefully she's there the next time I go back.

Ordered the Avacado Caprese Salad, Bruchetta, and 2 charcuterie boards to go. Love the way everything tasted and was presented, the charcuterie boards came vaccuum sealed on "boards" which I thought was a nice touch.Service was quick and friendly, I look forward to trying this place out for Dine-in sometime.
