Sip, Sip, Hooray! National Wine Day

Happy Friday! Today couldn’t be anymore perfect. Not only is it the start of a long weekend (hellooo Memorial Day), but today is National Wine Day! I’ve actually decided it’s my new favorite holiday.

To celebrate, I will be drinking lots of Vino (not that I needed an excuse). Preferably, Rosé! Speaking of Rosé, it is my wine of choice! Be sure to let me know what your favorite wine is on my Instagram post!

National Wine Day To get us in the spirit, I am sharing a list of the top wine bars in Charlotte! As always, my outfit details will be at the end of this post!

Southend

Foxcroft Wine- Dilworth: When you walk in, you are greeted by walls of wine. Did I die and go to heaven? They have a small patio, but it doesn’t disappoint. It has little string lights that twinkle in the night, and it is surrounded by these beautiful trees. They have a menu that offers seasonal and local food options to pair with their extensive wine list.

Dilworth Tasting Room: This place is amazing! It is located in the heart of Dilworth. Their outdoor patio is like a little garden, it is so cute! Their wine list is great, and they have a delicious food menu to match. We got the Small Charcuterie Board with prosciutto and the sottocenere cheese! It is a great place to go with galpals or even a date.

Vin Master: This is definitely more of a casual place. It looks like a little market. It is located right behind Atherton Mills, tucked away behind Luna’s Living Kitchen . They offer organic and sustainable wines. The environment offers a relaxed vibe, which is great for after work or after you walk the rail trail.

Wine Loft: This is an upscale wine bar, so expect more of an intimate setting. It is great for a date night. I actually went here on a first date before. They have a small little patio area, and I mean small. The inside is filled with dim lighting for a relaxed environment. They offer over 70 selections of wine by glass and over 100 by bottle.

Fidelli Kitchen: This may not be a wine bar, but they have wine on tap! It is an easy self-serve system. You get a reloadable card and you go up to the wine of your choice and simply tap your card! Bam! Vino is in your glass. They have a nice outdoor patio, and yummy food!

Cotswold

Napa on Providence: This cute restaurant offers bold wines and vineyard style decor. They pride themselves on bringing the comfortable style of Napa Valley to the dining table. They have patio seating available, which definitely adds to the atmosphere. The wine is everything I thought it would be, and the food is excellent.

SouthPark

Corkbuzz: This restaurant and wine bar is a fan favorite. They offer wine profiles by appointment, and all Champagne bottles are half priced on Saturdays & Sundays! This is a nice place to unwind after a long work week, which makes it perfect for National Wine Day!

Uptown

Wooden Vine (Dunhill Hotel Bar): The Wooden Vine offers 50 wines by glass and over 300 by bottle! Clearly this is a selection that is hard to beat. I know that may seem overwhelming, but they offer flights so you can try different wines at once! The ambiance of this place makes it great for really any occasion. The staff is also known for being very knowledgeable about wine.

Cork Screw – The Vue Uptown: This wine and coffee bar offers an upscale but cozy atmosphere in the heart of Uptown. They currently have 42 wines by the glass and 389 by bottle. Talk about a selection! Not in the mood for wine (you should be since it’s National Wine Day)? They have 30 beers on rotation.

There you have it! A full list of recommended wine bars throughout the Queen City. It’s about that time for me to uncork and fill my glass. Sip, sip hooray! Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend and Happy National Wine Day!
