Had a great girls night out at Avondale Wine & Cheese. It is such a warm and cozy vibe in there for a chill night out. Our server was excellent and attentive. We started off with a bottle of Pinot Grigio. For food, we did the pick 4 for $24. You have any selection of meats, cheese, and tapas. We went with goat cheese, black truffle salami, caprese, and the real standout was the prosciutto wrapped dates stuffed with Gorgonzola cheese!! I would highly recommend trying those. Overall, it was a great experience and I am looking forward to going back soon! read more

Cannot believe I didn't know about this place sooner. My friend brought me here for the first time and I'm so looking forward to come back. It's got several cool little nooks and sections that are so unique. I think the owners got great taste and variety! They were running a teacher appreciation special that day so we got $5 glasses to start. We split a 6 choice charcuterie plate, everything was delicious! The warm pita and regular baguette bread you get is a nice touch! I think his name was Hank, who took care of us at the bar, friendly guy! We finished off with some Prosecco that is made by a local Charlestonian so cheers to that. This is a great spot in Avondale for date night, girls night or even solo night! Cheers read more

I just visited Avondale Wine and Cheese for the first time since their renovations and was happily surprised by the new layout! It feels much more spacious inside and a lot more cozy. Now it is cutesy inside and out! As always, the wine and charcuterie boards were incredible. Specifically, the bacon jam is out of this world. I appreciate that the staff will bring out additional fresh (warm) bread if you run out and still have more cheese or accompaniments left on your board. Our server was very attentive and gave great suggestions when asked. Love it here. read more

Their Thursday tastings are the best part of this place. However the charcuterie boards tends to be a little pricey for the portion they give you. The wines are always good though for the Thursday deals. read more

Just had my second visit for a wine tasting. They have $20 wine tastings on Thursdays where you get to sample a selection of 4 different wines. Last night, it was a section of South American wines, for example. The space itself is nice and relaxing, with low lighting, candles on all of the tables, a bar, tables, and options for a few chairs/a couch if you are not interested in a table. The staff has always been attentive and friendly - from the hostess to the wait staff. Quick service and continued check-ins to make sure we were taken care of. There are various options for charcuterie boards (4 ($22), 6, 8 options, etc) and you choose from different cheeses, meats, spreads, etc. So far, everything that we have tried has been tasty! While they do have specials, etc. and glasses of wine start around $7 usually, this is not the place to go for a cheap drink. It's a nice environment, but can get a little loud, at times, depending on how busy it and and how loud the other guests are. Overall, I have enjoyed our visits and would visit for another tasting in the future. read more

I had a lovely time here! I had a great selection of six different items - two cheeses, prosciutto and spicy salami, caprese and their seasonal hummus. Also fig jam. I was able to be seated immediately at a table for two on a Monday around dinner - keep in mind that the space isn't huge so it seems like if it's a weekend it would get pretty busy. I'm glad I came by for some charcuterie and am excited to return! read more

Been to a couple of their weekly $20 tastings and always enjoyed it. The charcuterie boards are pricey but very good and an aesthetically pleasing spread. Very intimate atmosphere with plenty of space in separate rooms. read more

Avondale wine and cheese is one of my go to spots since I can here years ago. I love the huge selection of cheese, meats and wines they have. The baked Brie with nuts is one one of my favorite a La Carte items! Carolina sunset is my absolute favorite cheese on the menu. It's so good. The not only have soft cheeses but a good selection of soft, semi hard and hard! So there's definitely something for everyone. The staff is always so nice and are always willing to help with questions or just bring us so much bread. (We tend to ask for a lot XD) read more

Always such a treat to share some wine and delicious meats, cheeses, and bread with friends here! Our server was kind and interactive with our wine tasting. She helped us pace ourselves through a beautiful happy hour and never let us run out of bread. One of the many challenging decisions here is where to sit. Inside is warm, cozy, and vibey with all the wine bottles and lighting, but the back patio is a dream as well with the music and plants. Got to try the brie with bacon jam this time in addition to a pick 4 - WOW! Everything was delish read more

Of all the wine & cheese places in Charleston - this one is the best. I've tried the others - this one has the best selection of cheeses and of wine. You also get way more on your board for the same price you'll pay at a different place. Also super cute inside and I've never had a bad recommendation from anyone who works there. read more

This is my go-to, tried and true local spot for the perfect girls night out. The value comes when you go to Harris Teeter and try to buy 8 different meats/cheeses and realize its $100+. Then they add the bonus goodies to fancy up your selections and the delicious baguette! Their wine selection is seemingly endless and sometimes there's no corkage fee if you choose to go with a retail bottle. They have an outdoor space that used to be much cuter as there were vines growing all over the walls, but outside is outside if you're a die hard outside eater! They also recently expanded their space which means less waiting on popular evenings! Don't sleep on their new lunch menu! read more

Avondale Wine and Cheese is probably one of my favorite wine bars in all of Charleston. The only complaint is that everyone else thinks so too so the line can be long. Put your name on the waitlist and they will call you when a table is ready or best is to go when they open. The environment is welcoming and dark- perfect for a long talk over wine. The employees are knowledgeable, helpful, and generally happy. The menu is super diverse and I love all the selection of cheese and meats they have. I typically go for a red wine and all of the ones I've had have been delicious. The prices range but are pretty practical for the quality you are paying for. read more

Cutest eatery in Avondale. Amazing wine selection and best charcuterie by far. Went on. Friday early evening. Staff were fun and shared all of the Women's' Month specials. I enjoyed the wine flight from all female owned wineries. My spouse enjoyed multiple tastings of cabs. We each brought a bottle home. The cheeses are davine - whipped feta is our favorite. Recommend going early as fills quickly. read more

First time eating charcuterie and let me say... FANTASTIC! Flavors were amazing and the wine selection was impressive. I can't wait to come back. read more

The most simple concept yet brilliant and always welcomed. We both tried the rose tasting and ordered some wine & meats (Believe we did the 4 or 5 option?). It was the perfect amount for a snack for two people. The tasting went quick but we def coulda dragged it out and stayed longer if we drank slower lol. The vibes are immaculate and so cozy and intimate. Would be great for a date or coming with the gals. read more

I absolutely love this place. I have been several times. They have some really great wine options as well as make your own charcuterie and cheese board. They have tapas as well if your a little more hungry. My favorite is the baked brie with a berry compote. The staff is always super friendly and attentive, despite how busy they are. We were the last ones there but they didnt rush us out even when we asked as I never want to keep someone late at their job. That speaks volumes. It's a cute little space with some outdoor seating in the back as well. It's very cozy and a great date spot. Parking is fairly easy as well along the street, there's no lot. read more

Cute place, great ambiance, and good quality charcuterie plate! My friend and I stopped by here because we wanted to be fancy and get some wine, cheese, and meat platter. I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing since this is not normally my scene, but the waitress was very friendly and helpful in helping us decide what we should order. What stood out to me about this place was the option to get some tapas as part of the "combo plate" rather than just sticking with wine and cheese. It definitely helped add some variety to our dinner without having to over-order! I like the way how the menu was structured, categorizing the cheese by what animal it came from, and its origin. I'm not as well versed in cheese, but the meat that stood out to me was the duck. Although I don't normally liked shredded/grind meat, the duck was very flavorful and paired well with the cheese's texture! We ordered caprese and basil as tapas and they went well with the plate as well! The ambiance of this place was also great, and I liked that I got everything I wanted without having to break my wallet. I wish we have something this affordable and nice in SoCal as well! read more

This is one of my favorite places to meet friends in Charleston! They are an independently female owned wine and tapas shop with amazing food and even wine tastings! My most recent visit was last week and the chalkboard said it's now open for lunch too! I usually order house red or house red blend but every wine has been great! I love their whipped feta, stuffed figs, goat cheeses, olives, pate, meats, everything is amazing! read more

One of my absolute favorite places in Charleston! From excellent service, to friendly staff, to adorable ambiance and of course let's talk delicious wine and charcuterie. I could go on and on about this place. My favorite thing to do is have them create a board for me...it's a great way to try different things and each time I am beyond impressed! A few of my faves: bacon wrapped dates, white bean dip, baked Brie, whipped feta etc etc. You honestly can't go wrong. This place is a gem and if you haven't been...stop reading this and go now! read more

Such a cute spot! They have a great selection of diverse wines to choose from and I even noticed a beer list! The ambiance was the perfect, laidback vibe. We did a create your own charcuterie board which I liked because we got to choose what we specifically wanted on it. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

My coworkers and I went here after work, we just walked in and we were seated in the "wine room" I wish I had gotten a photo, the room felt VIP, even though we weren't, it was small and semi-private room with three or four tables in it. When we got there we had it to ourselves. The room still had plenty of "windows" that allowed us see outside of the room, but between the window were covered in different types of wine. While we had a lot to talk about, if the conversation lagged, we talked about different types of wine we'd like to try in the future. The staff was very patient while we made our decision. Now the important part, food. Appetizers: The dates stuffed with Gorgonzola were the stars of this charcuterie board, they were also wrapped in prosciutto. I am generally not a fan of sweet and savory foods, but the saltines of prosciutto balanced with the sweet date and creamy Gorgonzola perfectly. This may be pretty common but it was a first for me. The flavors were sweet, creamy and savory. but it was perfectly balances with the sweet date and creamy cheese. The crab dip: I am sad to report that I cannot eat crab, so sadly I will not report on the taste, my friends all told me it was delicious though. And it definitely looked great. I cannot personally recommend. Cheese: We ordered three cheeses, Manchego, whipped feta and dirt lover, a semi soft cheese from Missouri. My favorite was the whipped feta, lighter than whipped butter, whether on the pita or baguettes it was delicious, lightly sweet and very creamy, it left a nice after taste that makes you keep going for more. Meats: I actually didn't get a taste of the prosciutto on its own, (you snooze you lose) but based on the dates, I'm sure it tasted delicious on its own as well. next meat was the N'duja, spicy spreadable pork sausage, delicious, nice kick but definitely not overpowering. When you think of spreadable pork may be a little daunting but it didn't have a mushy texture, I didn't think about it too much it just tasted like meat crumbled. Sun-dried tapenade, has sun dried tomatoes with Kalamata olives, lemon and capers, even just as four flavors listed, it tasted more complex that it was, which was great, every bite tasted a little different. If you don't like olives, you'll enjoy this too, because it was not overpowering olive taste, but it was still evident it was in it. Wine: I'm a red wine drinker- I ordered a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon then a merlot. I'm not a wine connoisseur. But if you've never had red wine, both are dry wines, I preferred the Cabernet with this selection, there were a couple of sweet items on the charcuterie board and I preferred a wine not so sweet with this combination. Overall I really enjoyed this experience great place to wind down after a hard day with some pals or just a chill night out with friends. read more
