The owner Tim (commonly on site always): (a) is a great guy; (b) knows more about wine than I ever will; and (c) is humble and fantastic about sharing that knowledge with folks. The location has street parking that is easier than you might think because Annata does most of its business when the nearby businesses are closed, but there's also a public pay lot across the street. The staff is like Tim - kind and helpful. I love the shop because it's in an old building with real wood floors and plaster walls and it just feels like an actual PLACE. Plentiful seating inside AND there's a killer deck out back that makes you feel like you're in the trees. Chill. The prices are better than fair - they are realistically designed so that you can enjoy good wine without going broke. Food offerings are light and there are not a ton of them but what they offer is always perfect to nosh on with your glass. If you're looking for someplace to enjoy time with friends, get a drink with a date, poke around and get some wine education with Tim, or just enjoy being someplace where you can think and relax and enjoy being a human, for a super reasonable amount of $$, Annata is my choice. read more

Annata Wine Bar and Cellar - Fantastic wine, charcuterie, staff and owner! - Wine Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Stopped by on a warm sunny August afternoon. The staff was lovely- warm and welcoming and they have an extensive wine selection.

We went in at about 8:30 where there wasn't a huge crowd so we were able to get a seat, especially with the ample seating. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed for the night, but we were able to relax with a multitude of choices for wine. The bar itself had a great environment where it was laid back. Even the bartender was very nice about making sure that we take our time and enjoy the wine we ordered. We enjoyed a wine flight with the Sauvignon Blanc Clarendelle, the Rosé Minuty, and the Cabernet Montes Alpha. I am definitely planning to go back in the summer where they have outdoor seating and enjoy some of the food options they have. read more

Came to Annata for the first time before picking up dinner, it is such a cool spot with a retail store being connected and we actually got to meet and have a good chat with the owner! Very knowledgeable staff and a great place to go for a wine tasting / flight experience. This is the best baked brie I have ever had too!!! read more

Super cute and cozy! Perfect for a girls night or an intimate date night. Located in the heart of O'Bryonville. Plenty of street parking available. They have a number of wines available (but no moscato)! I got a peach Bellini, it was tasty but not the best I've ever had. I came for a small gathering with a women's group and the staff was friendly and accommodating. They do offer lite bites, cheese and crackers and salads. Definitely come check it out! read more

Somewhat hidden patio in Obryonsville that is quickly becoming a Spring favorite. I enjoyed a wine flight on a Wednesday evening and could not believe the variety for the price. There is also a beer flight option that was very reasonable if you're into that. The menu has a lot of tasty treats! I can't wait to go back to get the whipped feta appetizer. The service was friendly and they have different nightly specials so be sure to check what's happening when you go! read more

What a cute spot! A friend mentioned this place to me as I hadn't heard of it. Lo and behold, they've been there for 2.5 years. I have some catching up to do. The vibe inside is cozy, inviting and not pretentious at all. It's a chill spot to hand and have a lovely glass, or two, or wine. I was very impressed by the food menu! The hummus packs a flavorful punch, and the baked Brie was a delight. Street parking is very easy also, which I always love about this area. Highly recommend! read more

I definitely found a gem in O' Bryonsville. Thee most friendly bartenders I've had in awhile. Great selection of wine from what seems like all over. Just a very classy wine bar, right up my alley. The baked Brie was decent, wish is had more of that fig jam spread all over top of the Brie. The baguette served with both the Brie and the spinach dip was so good, soft yet crunchy. The spinach dip was a bit too boujee for me with all the fresh artichokes, just give me a plain ole spinach dip with lots of cheesy goodness. I would probably just order a charcuterie the next time I'm in. I freaking love this place. read more

This might be my new favorite spot in OBryonville. We had dinner at Ripple and tried to go to Bean and Barley as usual, but they were closed for a private event. Annata was open and so friendly. They were due to close in about an hour and we chose to sit on the deck. We had a few rounds and stayed past their closing time. They never said anything to us that we were keeping them, just so friendly. They only have about six beers on tap, but plently of bottles and cans. Obviously they are a wine bar first. I can't wait to go back and sample the food. read more

The service here is amazing. The owner and bartenders are always so friendly. We've been a couple of times and it's usually not too busy. We usually enjoy sitting at the bar so we can talk to the bartenders. We also came for my birthday and the owner set up a large table in the back. Great place for events! Food is delicious from what I've tried. The baked feta is my favorite but the spinach artichoke is delicious as well. Spinach artichoke dip is heavy on the lemon flavor but I enjoyed it. Great unique selection of red wines. Love that the wine menu actually has descriptions of what to expect in the wine. You can also purchase a bottle from their shop which is connected and this usually ends up being less than the price of 2 glasses so it's a great deal. I believe they have live music 2 nights a week. (Wednesdays and Fridays??) We are looking forward to coming back in the summertime so we can enjoy the patio. read more

Annata Wine Bar and Cellar - Wine on the back patio with friends! - Wine Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I cannot say enough great things about Annata!! I first visited in the summer and was able to enjoy my $15 wine flight out on the back patio with the Mediterranean sampler. I truly appreciated you could pick any wines form the wine list to have in your flight and that the flight was not limited to certain wines - it really ensured I would enjoy the wine I was drinking! The next visit was during the winter and on the Wine & Cheese Wednesday Pairing - again a great deal for $30! There were 3 wines and 3 cheese paired together, supplemented with other nuts/snacks on the charcuterie board. During this trip I tried my first orange wine which was so cool to have as part of a flight and not be a special (high-priced) order! The staff was very attentive and welcoming - the owner came around to our table and stayed for the perfect amount of time with us just to confirm we were doing well and answer any questions we had - I have been burned before where owners linger for too long with you and you don't get to enjoy your food/drink and people you were with so this was something I definitely appreciated! There was a private wine tasting happening in the back room and while there was not live music this Wednesday, I know that they have live music other nights Will 100% be back here to enjoy more wine and snacking -- thank you Annata for great experiences every time! read more

Great spot in O'Bryonville! Tim, the owner is very hands on and personable. Zoe, a very friendly bartender gave us the best sparkling Rose recommendation! We had the cheese plate... WOW! The place is just so cozy, couch area, ample seating, garage door window that opens to a beautiful outdoor patio... everyone just makes you feel so comfortable. A MUST if you like wine... in a warm, homey atmosphere. read more

Honesty....this is probably the cutest lil wine Establishment I've ever been to! Great food, great service, AMAZING and HUGE wine selection! They even had a band! Such a great experience! It's a HIDDEN GEM in the heart of obryanville. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Annata Wine Bar and Cellar - Wine Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

What a fun way to try fancy wine. We got a flight and charcuterie board which was amazing. It has the perfect amount of bread which is normally lacking and other places. There is also a wine cellar attached and you can go pick out a bottle and bring it to your table. They just change a 10 dollar corking fee. My favorite was the herb goat cheese! I can't even tell you how great the melt in your mouth taste on a toasted soft bread was. On top of it there was live music at the outdoor patio which was a bonus. It is a little pricey so most likely won't make this a weekly stop, but it is nice to indulge every now and then. read more

Came here my first time on a Friday evening. We sat on the back patio where there was live music which created an overall great ambiance. The two of us each ordered a wine flight and split the charcuterie board. All the dry red and white wines we sampled were excellent. The charcuterie board took a long time to come out, but was overall still worth it. The bread, meats, and cheeses were all superb and it was well sized as we both left full. I did enjoy the stone ground mustard, but wish there was some more of it to add another layer of flavor and to balance out the dryness of the bread. I think the wine prices could be a little cheaper. However, the charcuterie board seemed reasonably priced compared to others in Cincinnati. read more

Nice place in Obryanville at 2019 Madison Rd . Quiet to moderate sounds which makes it pleasant for conversation. They have a wine shop next door as well. Plenty of parking nearby. Stop in and see Tim and the crew. read more

Great venue for a gathering! Threw my husband's birthday party here and it was perfect! Tim and his staff took great care of everyone. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great spot! You can't beat the live jazz and their patio is amazing. I was impressed with their wine list. There are some spots in Hyde Park that call themselves wine bars that have terrible wine-- Annata has an impressive list and delicious bottles. We had a hummus platter too and it was delicious! read more

We were introduced to Annatas when a friends birthday party was held there. A quaint little place that has small rooms divided by walls. It was too hot to enjoy the outside area. The staff were friendly and eager to help. Since it was a private party our hosts chose 3 wines and 4 beers that were included but you could purchase other items. Their selections were great and the appetizer choices were beautifully laid out and tasted great. There was a musical trio that added to the enjoyment. Parking is on street and metered until 6 but side street parking was also available. We had a great time. read more

It's a cute spot with a large selection of wine. The service was good too. The ten dollar corking fee seems a bit much but it was still a good time. read more

I really love the Annata. Great music, great wine, great atmosphere. If you want a classy place to have date night this is the place to go. Centrally located in O'Bryonville-Hyde Park. read more

Very pleasant outdoor shaded deck seating. Live Jazz music on Wednesday evening. Wine flights of any wine on menu. Salads, flatbread, cheeses, hummus, artichoke dip, dessert, etc. Friendly service. read more

Annata is great for a date night or girls night out. Cozy with live music on the weekends. Excellent curated wine selection. Best part-wine flights! The small bite menu is made in house with lots of locally sourced ingredients. They also have a wine shop attached so you can take your favorite wine home with you. The charming and knowledgeable owner is usually on site. Great bar staff as well. read more

Annata in O'Bryonville is a GEM. Friday night on their back patio -- even with the August heat, there was shade from an old growth tree and a cooling breeze -- plus a jazz combo was absolutely cooking in the main bar room, and by opening the back shutters, the music drifted over the patio. The wine selection? Wonderful. The small appetizer plates? Delicious and generous. The service? Well informed and totally gracious. We will return to Annata with family and friends. What a nice addition to O'Bryonville! read more

this is an excellent addition to the neighborhood...really nice wine selection at friendly prices...really good food and service and environment...owner knows the business very well, previously had a restaurant at this location that was excellent, i'm confident it will be the same...looking forward to more visits! read more
