Wonderful selection of wines with fantastic knowledge and service by the Owner and staff.

El Wine Chateau is a great find in Old Town Keller. One of the chillest vibes in town and great place to shop for a gift bottle of wine or to add to your own collection. The coffee bar is absolutely fantastic. And the wine selection for in store tastings is always fantastic. Aston, Patty and Ray all make this super awesome place for business meetings, social meetings and all things between. read more

This has become our go to date night destination. The wine selection is top notch and the owners are extremely gracious and welcoming. Live music every Saturday. We are always looking to support local businesses in our home town of Keller. We are wine club members for life! read more

El Wine Chateau - Hanging with friends - Wine Bars Near Me - Keller, Texas

Totally cool vibe. Specialty wines you don't typically find. Patti made it worth the afternoon.

The ownership changed here and it's amazing. Service, experience, selection, knowledge, price, etc. are incredible. We went from never again to members of the wine club. Nice bonus, it's now tied with the bike shop next door. I can't say enough positive things about the whole crew from Aston to Patty to Bryan and even the guests like Christina. Thank you for the great new local spot!! read more

Amazing wine selection and service! They also have some craft beer choices as well. The business owner is very nice! It's under new management so please come check it out if you are local. The negative reviews are from when this business was owned by someone else. read more

Great wine spot. They have a good selection/variety. Prices are good. Comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. We will be frequenting this place often in the future! read more

Absolutely amazing! I moved from Dallas to Keller about two years ago and quickly made this one of my "local favorites". It fits into so many different aspects of life: needing to get out of the house and need a quiet place to work - check Casual date night - check Knowledge about wine and trying new things - check out I've never had a bad experience!! read more

New management... excellent atmosphere and service! Love the "pick your bottle off the wall" and pop the cork. Staff has the Knowledge of wines and regions, add some music and ... golden! Also... it's connected to a bike shop! With an espresso machine! Bikes, coffee, and wine! Is there any better combination? read more

Not sure what the 3 stars about. We had a nice visit. Rueben and his wife were both very pleasant . Rueben mentioned he specializes in rare wines. He came up with a good recommendation of a J. McClelland Pettit Verdot. We ordered the cheese tray with our wine. It had several types of cheese and the olives were great, Italian. It was a pleasant visit. We will be back. read more

If you are a wine drinker, you just found a hidden gem! What a cute place! Fort Keller has done it again! The owners are always there, and always willing to stop by your table and chat for a minute! This is why we #ShopLocal! The ambiance is so nice, and on a cool spring Texas evening... this place is pretty hard to beat! The key to a good experience here... let the owners show you what they are currently interested in. While you can certainly shop, this isn't a trip to the wine store. Stay, try some new stuff, learn some new stuff... and enjoy the owners. If you are in a rush, you won't have a good experience! They do have a membership club too! I think it's less than $50/ month for 2 bottles! You should try it! 4 STARS read more

Great space to meet up with a group of friends - lots of seating options and perfect ambiance. The live music added a perfect amount of entertainment, without overpowering the ability to converse with friends. read more

The wife and I had an amazing evening chatting with the owners at this establishment. They suggested a wine we would both like that was super dry and a red. They explained their entire life story to us and a LOT of information about wines we had no idea about. It was a very eventful and fun date night that I would suggest for any wine lovers or especially for guys who's wife loves wine. I prefer beer but it was even very enjoyable for me! read more

I would say this is a wine store with a little more...live music on weekends and wine by the glass and tastings... ...It's nice to have a place on the strip to get away from the crowd...if one is needing to be catered to, as most Americans do, then you may want to go across the street. Good place to go, have a nice glass of wine, be educated and not be bothered..my kind of place! read more

This is a fantastic, family-owned wine bar. The selection, service, and prices are excellent. What a gem right here in Keller!

Amazing customer service! Jessie was wonderful and answered all of my questions. Very clean atmosphere and wonderful selection of wines

This place is amazing. The new owners definitely make your experience very welcoming. They treat you like a friend and not like a customer. Very nice and clean atmosphere. Plenty of choices of wines from many regions around the world. They also have great coffee. If you haven't been recently then check them out again. They are definitely doing new things. See you there , Salute. read more

The new owners have done great things for place. I've joined the wine club and love getting to learn about wines while hanging out with friends. read more

Unique spot in Keller with an excellent selection of wines! Great to stop in for a glass or you can buy a bottle to drink there! Check them out on Instagram for special events and live music. My favorite thing about El Wine Chateau is Wine Club. Ask about it when you stop in! read more

I've been a wine club member since Jan 2019 and have seen EWC go through several changes between COVID, post COVID, and a change in management. It's now a lively spot great for groups to relax and enjoy a nice glass of wine. And if you're sleepy from the wine, you can get a perfectly crafted cappuccino for a little pick me up! read more

My wife and I did not have a good experience here the other week. In fact, we didn't have an experience at all. We were super excited about the idea of a wine bar in the area and wanted to check it out around 7PM on a Saturday (at least I think thats when it was). We walked in and it was relatively full, walked up to the bar on the right which had a few people at it aaaaaannnnddd nothing happened. No one said hello, no one made eye contact, nothing. OK - maybe they're really busy. We stepped away and started looking around the store looking at their wines, making eye contact with as many of the people as possible because we wanted to stay a while and we wanted to talk about wine. Nothing. No one was interested in helping. We decided to try the bar one last time. No dice. We didn't exist. So we left - and we won't be back. read more

This little boutique store is fantastic. You get small business service at unbelievable prices. The previous reviewers nailed it... there are always 12 for $99 or 6 for $50 deals going on and I haven't been disappointed yet. To add more, there's a wine club you can join that's fully worth it. For $35/mo, you are invited to a catered tasting party. You leave with your choice of 2 of the sample wines (or 1 extra special wine), which individually value higher than the club price. Ruben (the owner), also has free tastings on Friday evenings that are open to anyone who walks into the store. I've tasted some really great wines and had a lot of great conversation over a few samples. In short... the store is a little hidden, but fully worth a visit! read more

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." My wife and I have been coming to El Wine Chateau for a couple years now. We've since joined the wine club. Our understanding of wines by country, region, terroir, varietal has grown greatly. Ruben is a fantastic guide and an exciting salesman. We're much more confident these days in both pairing wines with foods and selecting wines for other situations. It's true that sometimes you have to be patient, but that's just the culture at El Wine Chateau. Ruben and Lilia will always give their customers as much time as they need to be educated in their selection. They're absolutely lovely. Patience is key because the selection of wines is curated and exclusive. I always appreciate Ruben's help to find new, hard to find wines that suit my palette The real treat is the Wine Club. Once a month you experience a focused education with a group of equally interested individuals. Lilia prepares a small plate of food that is culturally/regionally matched with the wines. And you get to take a couple bottles of the wine(s) you prefer with you. Well worth the club fees. I suggest coming in to El Wine Chateau with an open mind. Treat it as an experience, not a trip to the store. Imagine you're going to someone's home who happens to purvey an amazing collection of wines. You will be amazed! UPDATE: Two Year's following, and I still feel the same. Ruben, Lilia, and the community they've grown is still so special read more

Cute place with a good membership club and interesting wines. But if you stay and drink the wine it seems over priced and they charge you a corking fee, which may be the law. I'm not sure. Wine is $12 a glass. Some may be worth it but most that we tried were not. They do have an amazing cheese tray read more

Awesome Wine Club and Rueben & staff are super knowledgeable and friendly!! We belong to the Club and come once a month at least, for the presentations and tastings!! Lilia, Rueben's wife, makes all the AMAZING food!! We've met some great friends there & look forward to it every month!! Stop & Shop here and support your local businesses!! read more

Ruben is knowledgeable about the wines and puts together great social and wine tasting events! The store is very inviting and quite quaint. We look forward to visiting with Ruben, his wife, and the staff, and browsing/purchasing various wines to stock our wine fridge. Great venue and service! read more

Wonderful little gem. The owner is very knowledgeable about wines and I look forward to what he gets in in the future. Great little place to go have a bottle or a glass. read more

The kind of local wine shop that every town should have and too many don't, with a fiercely independent owner who chooses to sell only great wines. The selection is comprehensive and affordable and the tastings are educational. So much better than buying wine at the grocery store or liquor store. read more

Nice folks. The music is Mexican... kind of goes with the confused name: half Mexican, half French. They have several nice wines available for purchase, but the ambience is weird. We were the only ones there besides the owners, Ruben and his wife. Ruben speaks loud when he is on the phone. This, along with the music, takes away from any romantic vibe. read more

Our favorite spot for enjoying and learning about wine. Thank you Ruben and Lilia for teaching us so much about wine. Special thanks to Lilia for her amazing food. read more

As I was scanning my new Clipper Magazine (mag. full of local coupons) I saw an ad/coupon for a new wine store in Keller (this is great news for our fair city!). Several days later, I was invited to a friend's house for dinner and wanted to share with her my new, favorite summer wine - the Italian Albarino. The grape is grown in the northern part of Italy in a very limited amount, therefore, it is not available at your local grocer or gas station! After calling several wine outlets in the area, with no luck, I remembered the ad for El Wine Chateau. I gave them a call and, much to my delight, they had an Albarino! I spoke with the owner, Ruben Reynoso, and he was very helpful. I told him I would stop by on my way to dinner and he offered to chill the bottle for me so it would be ready when I picked it up. Ah, service with a smile from a local business!! I ran in and Ruben and I had a great conversation about the Albarino and the other wines in his shop; he has a wonderful variety and most are under $15.00. Don't get me wrong, this is not a chain like Wine Styles, but rather a local wine lover who wants to offer nice, affordable wines to all of us winos, I mean, wine connoisseors. Ruben also said he will do tastings for any wine you care to taste before purchasing. So, if you want to shop for wine without dealing with a packed parking lot and crowds (such as Central Market, World Market, etc...) and get one-on-one attention then take a trip to El Wine Chateau. Let's support our local, small businesses! *Helpful hint: if you live in this area you know what a pain the *** this part of Main St./Hwy. 377 can be. So, may I suggest taking 1709 to Elm St. (just east of Main/377). Turn left (S) then turn right (W) on Vine St. This will dead end to Main/377. Turn right and then take an immediate right into El Wine's parking lot. Good luck and happy wine drinking!! read more

My wife and went into this establishment and even joined the wine club. We noticed almost every time we went we were either over charged or charged for something we never got or never ordered. Every time i tried to speak to the owner he would always say i will give you a free bottle of your choice when you come in next time. That never happened. When we realized that most of the wine club offerings was stuff we didn't want. El Wine Chateau hit my credit card at least four more times after i canceled. I finally had to request a new card. Wine prices here we definitely inflated. We got to the point we couldn't even drag ourselves back in here because we dreaded going back that much. read more

A great place for wine and wine club always has great tastings. Wonderful place for a first date or a gathering of friends. Say hi to Ruben and ask for his recommendation! Lily makes the best wine plates! Cheers! read more

Love the wine club and the info. Great wine choices every month!! Really enjoy being a member!

This is my favorite small, owner-operated wine stores in DFW. The proprietor, Ruben, has a great selection of value wines from around the world. He is extremely knowledgeable about wine and shares his expertise generously. Their monthly wine club always offers a great time serving interesting wine and food pairings. I highly recommend you check El Wine Chateau out! read more

This is a hidden gem in Keller. Fantastic wines and the owner Rueben is very knowledgable.

Ruben is the best! So many amazing and unique wines at a great price. Great place for date night or girls night...or just to stop in for great wine! read more

Great atmosphere and place to be! Great place to have a glass of wine and relax! The Quivira Zin was an excellent recommendation from Ruben! read more

This place is a joke. If you like drinking wine that's been open for a couple of days and eating leftover cheese snacks this would be your place. It's too bad this establishment encourages misleading people as to the science of wines so they can pay their bills. read more

Owner is obnoxious and uneducated but that is not the reason for the 1 star review. Today marks the 2nd time I have bought a wine that was not stored properly. This time my dry red $100 bottle was sweeter than a cheap port. This is indicative of heat exposure. I drove 20 minutes back to the shop to exchange it and the owner just said no. Wouldn't even try it to verify. Don't waste your time or money here. read more
