Be very careful going here. The owner will pour wine, sometimes wine you don't order or want, all the while charging for it. Any time you ask to try wine before purchasing an 8 dollar glass, you get charged for a tasting without notice. Also, if you order something and do not drink it, even if it's not poured, you will be charged. Example; ordering a white to start and the red after, if you don't want the red anymore, tough luck you are paying for it. Nice place, but this is not a respectful way to run a business. I felt scammed when I saw my bill was 3x the cost of what I ordered. I won't return, specifically because the owner said he doesn't like customers like me all because I asked for an itemized receipt. read more

I called at 8:45pm and asked what time they were open until. The man on the phone who I presume to be the owner said 10 pm. My friends and I arrive for a glass of wine not planning to stay later than close but were met with a locked door. The man I spoke with answered and said they were closed. I told him I just spoke with him and he said they were open. Not sure why you're telling customers you're open when you're closed. Then turning them away at the door almost an hour before you are actually said to close on a Friday night. Not smart to do business like this in Keller. Maybe I'll come back when they can figure out if they're open or not... read more

The service was great, live music was great and atmosphere was fantastic! We picked a bottle of wine, it was served to us and we didn't feel it was "right" the lady checked with someone else and he agreed the bottle was bad and asked us to pick a new bottle. We were pleasantly surprised that he was honest that the bottle wasn't right. Definitely plan to go back!!! They have a great selection and the flights are a great way to try new wines out! read more

This place is amazing! Best wine selection and atmosphere around. We came on a Friday and the live music was super talented- they played acoustic guitar and sang everything from classic jazz standards to contemporary covers. Ruben is so knowledgeable of what he carries, and taught my mom and I about the different grapes used in French wine. Glad we spent our Friday night trying wines and hanging out here!! read more

AWFUL!!!!! I normally only review when I love somewhere but this was the WORST service I have ever received. The owner is beyond rude. We ordered 3 glasses of wine(which tasted horrible) and he charged for 5! When I tried to explain this to him he told me that "customers like me shouldn't come" I think he just has a problem speaking English. Save yourself some time and energy and go to a decent restaurant and order wine for less money read more

We used to be regular customers of this shop - including membership in the wine club for over a year. Unfortunately we no longer patronize this business due to the rude and condescending behavior of the owner. The first time I experienced this I thought we had just caught him having a bad day. However my last couple of visits were the same. For example when I asked for a recommendation of a wine the snarky response was, "well, what makes you think you & I have the same tastes?" I don't know what caused this abrupt change in attitude - when we were new customers, like many of the reviewers we found the location & the owner quite charming. The old phrase "familiarity breeds contempt" seems to apply here. Having been on the receiving end of this unexplained contempt on more than one occasion, I will no longer shop at this business. read more

I live out of state and wanted to get some Port to my brother in law. I called and the owner was more than happy to help me order over the phone. I was planning on telling him to go pick it up but the owner just offered to deliver it to him since he was in the neighborhood. He delivered that very day. My brother in law loved the port too. One day I will visit the store. read more

My first experience was not so good. A friend and I wanted to have wine and cheese one night and this cute place looked inviting. We read the hours on the door and walked in because we had an hour to spare. We then sat at the bar for more than five minutes in front of the owner and he said nothing to us. We didn't know if we were supposed to grab a bottle or what. Finally looking extremely confused we asked what we should do. He asked if we were a part of the wine club. When we said no he said sorry it's a private party tonight and made us leave. There was no sign on the door or outside stating this. And if it was a private party the service was not good from what I experienced on waiting. I never make a decision on first impression so I will go back and give it a second try. Hopefully next time I can give this 4 or 5 stars. read more

Your name sucks. "El" is Spanish, "Wine" English, and "Chateau" French?!? Pick a damn language

Great music. Never had a bad bottle of wine. No chemically altered wines sold here. We buy all our wine here now.

There are few times in life you get to a place and feel like it's home. The Chateaux was just that - customers picking up instruments, the owners serve Tapas, their adult children come out, and I feel like family. Life is good. read more

Wow! We had the most amazing Boudreaux wine tasting tonight! Excellent wines, really appreciated the owner, Rubin sharing his extensive wine knowledge, passion and expertise with us. The music really lovely, and then a vocalist joined the guitarist, Aubrey Ganda she literally lit up the place with her beautiful, lyrical voice. The environment was cozy, relaxed and sophisticated at the same time. Beautiful venue, amazing wines, incredible music, I can't wait to go back. Thank you El Wine Chateau! read more

Love this wine shop! We attend wine club every month, and depend on Ruben/owner to get us the best wines. We highly recommend El Wine Chateau. read more

Great selection of small vineyard wines for all tastes and price ranges. Knowledgeable staff. Fun to relax with cheese plate and good bottle of wine. read more

Amazing place. The atmosphere was perfect for socializing and the owners were the kindest people I have ever met. I will am going to become a regular at this place. The music was a unique combo of Santana, Flamenco and 60s rock when I came. Their live music was on point on so were their wine selections. read more

A case of wine for $99? Yep - and its pretty good too. Friendly service by the owner and some unusual and well priced finds makes this a great stop for you everyday wines. read more

Very personalized friendly service by owners. Wines from around the world arranged by region. Nice comfortable seating groupings to stay & enjoy the wine. read more

Fantastic little wine shop/bar. Ruben always has wines open to taste, and has a vast knowledge of wine; we've never been disappointed with his recommendation. There is usually acoustic guitar on Friday nights, and its a great atmosphere to just hang out and talk, without the club scene. Also, Ruben promotes BYOF (bring your own food). Get your dinner to go, bring it to El Wine Chateau, and enjoy a great bottle of wine with your dinner for a fraction of what you world pay in a restaurant. read more

5 months ago.Very sad. I went there with my husband. We were the only clients there with the owners. Which were speaking in spanish at the time. However, when I tried to talk in spanish to them they did not like that. The wife started making racist comments all the sudden. First time in my life I felt so terrible. The husband very rude. I still can not figure out what was wrong with them. I feel very sorry for people like them, very very racist. read more

Recently, I visited this establishment for the 6th time and was extremely disappointed with the owner's complete disrespect not only from him, but specifically his wife. All she did was speak Spanish to her husband and did not even acknowledge our presence. Unfortunately for her, she did not realize that we understood Spanish and understood everything she said. She made very degrading comments and we will not be returning. Her elitist attitude destroyed any value in ever returning. You may be the next person she will be talking derogatory about. read more

We came in to hear one of our favorite singers and was delighted by this little wine bar. Great selection and the owner is an expert in wines, grapes, regions and history of everything wine! What a delightful experience. We will definitely be back. read more

El Wine Chateau - Wine Bars Near Me - Keller, Texas

I stopped by on Thursday to visit the store and was so impressed with the selection but more importantly walked in on the monthly wine club meeting. What an awesome opportunity and something my wife and I were looking for to get involved in something we enjoy. Joined immediately and having a great time. Stop by and enjoy a glass of wine, meet people and find some incredible unique wines. A definite stop when in Keller read more

If you don't know anything about wine say it, Ruben will be more than glad to explain and suggest where to start. The prices are very reasonable, but don't come looking for cheap wine...you'll find great value though. Don't come in a hurry either...this is a place to seat down and enjoy and meet other wine lovers. That's what I do...come on in and enjoy! read more

My husband and I love El Wine Chateau. Living in Keller (we are in the Alliance area), it is hard to find non chain bars and restaurants. This place is a hidden treasure. First, buying wine here is a lot of fun. Ruben, the owner, has extensive knowledge of wine and we have never been disappointed with his recommendations. Wines are competitively priced. Usually, we buy the 6 pre-picked bottles on promotion. It's a great way to try new wines (and a good deal too!). Second, we also enjoy the wine bar. With its brick walls, comfortable seating, and a fantastic acoustic guitar player it's a great way to relax on the weekends with a great bottle of wine. My favorite place to drink wine in Keller! read more

This doesn't even deserve a one star rating, walked in, nobody greeted us, no menu offered, just sat down and he expected us to know what to order as if we have been there before (mind you it was our first time) I asked what their most popular wine and he laughed, however, didn't even answer my question, later said, our most popular wine is 250 dollars, do not bother to go! read more

The owner is a terrible business man, the worst customer service. Terrible selection of wine as well.

Disappointed..... I bought a Living Social deal for wine tasting. Reserved my spot for two. The night of the wine tasting my sister's special needs daughter was diagnosed with pneumonia. I called Ruben and left a message explaining the circumstances. I was concerned he had not gotten the message since he did not call me back so I drove to his store to explain and hopefully reschedule for another night. When I walked in to the I told him I had a reservation for the wine tasting but my sister was not able to join me as her daughter was diagnosed with pneumonia. Before I could say anything else he said I would be drinking two glasses of wine. I told him I wanted to cancel as I did not want to sit and drink the wine by myself. I again explained the situation with my sister and wondered if I could switch to another night. He said no. He had a wait list and could not switch me to another night. THEN I heard him on the phone telling a lady that even though he had a 24 hour cancellation policy if she needed to change just let him know ASAP. Truly cannot believe that someone with a legitimate medical emergency would not be offered the opportunity to change to another night. read more

We visited with hopes of finding a nice place to get a glass of wine while our boys were nearby for basketball. Unfortunately the owners were not inviting. Trying to break the ice we we asked "how long they had been here" and Ruben responded "Does it make a difference". We even attempted to speak Spanish as my wife is Latina and I am bilingual but responses back made in English and with racial undertones. Looking for a place to relax and get a glass we found the atmosphere uninviting and tense. Guess we will keep looking. read more

Overall a cute nice spot for a date or to catch up with a friend over a bottle of wine. Cozy, quaint and they had an acoustic guitar player to add to the ambiance. The owner's personality was a bit off-putting. He was super nice at first and explained all the wine and suggested one for us but then when another couple came in and purchased a really expensive bottle it was like my husband and I became a bother. Otherwise a great spot - and you can bring in your own food or even order a pizza to the place (at least we saw other people doing it!). read more

Went to get a bottle of wine Saturday evening and the owners were having a loud argument in the store with their "friends." No one said hi to us or even acknowledged we were in the store. It was very unwelcoming so instead of drinking there, we took the wine to go which was very disappointing. read more

Great owners and service. They have been in business for a long time Great music Friday and Saturday nights. I should have come to this place years ago. Please visit !!! read more

My sister and I went here last weekend, and the service was terrible. We both did the flight tasting, where you can try 3 wines. My sister likes white wine, and made that very clear to the two employees. They poured her 1 glass of white wine, and then said that was the only white wine they had. I could tell by looking at the bottles on display that wasn't true, so then they told us they were closing soon and didn't want to open more white wine bottles. When I asked what time they were closing, they said they were closing in 2 hours. They refused to open any white wine bottles and poured her 2 red wine glasses after the first tasting, even though she told them she doesn't like red wine. They hardly spoke to us the whole time, they took a really long time to pour us more wine when our glasses were empty, and they made us feel like we were inconveniencing them with our presence. I have never been to winery with such horrible service. read more

Great, local wine store with a variety of wines and beers. We are members of their wine club. Great, modestly priced wines. Owner is extremely helpful. He has even delivered wines to my home for a party or event. read more

Walked in thinking we would have a relaxing evening talking & drinking wine so wrong! Stay away from this place! It gave me the opposite effect and for my blood pressure up. Started off okay after not being acknowledged for 15 minutes but we were browsing wine bottles anyway around the store. We decide to get a glass of wine and cheese platter. The owner waits on another 2 that got there after us and doesn't bring our cheese platter out for 20 min or so. We thought he forgot about it or didn't hear when we ordered. Then I needed to go to the restroom so I ask the owners wife and she proceeds to follow beside me. I was thinking she was showing me so I follow her and I end up in her back kitchen. She yells at me to the left, to the left! This doesn't tip it off. They ask twice if we want anymore wine I say no and it's like they are trying to get us to leave and bring the bill together for me and my friend. I go up to the register and ask if they can split the bill between my friend and I but she had one more glass of wine than me. (Usually they remember what you have anyway)He was like tell me exactly how you want me to do it write it down. So I wrote split the cheese platter between us two with the calculation. He was like no i said exactly how you want me to do it. The total she be this... I was like really you want me to divide the tax between us to? So I divided that and told him the exact price to charge on each card. Then after my calculations i was like okay got it and he acted like he didn't hear me and started putting bottles of wine up. Then he proceeded to make a rude comment saying you act like your never gonna see each other again. My friend was like well we don't go out that much. I was thinking like we need to explain anything to you. Also, before we left he said don't forget to tip the musicians. My friend said she has no cash so he turned to me and said do you have cash? I said no, oh wait I may have a dollar in my purse. He said if you think they are worth only one dollar! He held up both of our receipts and said do you want to add the tip for them on here? I grabbed my friend and said let's go. My friend still gave a 5 buck tip. I gave 2 because yes the owner and his wife were only worth one dollar in my book. Really that was a courtesy because they should had received zero tip!!! We both will not be going back of course and I will tell everyone to stay away unless you want rude, non relaxing, over priced wine and they barely poor any in the glass for 12 bucks. The cheese platter is 12 bucks and when I ran in the back kitchen by accident saw cheese just laying on the counter out in the open with no cover. I am so livid! read more
