I visited Ethos with my husband recently for a weekend lunch and had the best time! Atmosphere: A very quaint and beautifully decorated wine bar vibe on the inside and a lovely patio with cute bistro lights on the outside. Everything was very chic and created a very charming afternoon. I loved all the little details like the cute glassware for drinks and individual glass teapots. Service: Everyone is so warm and welcoming here! Immediately felt like home and also attended to in every detail. Food and drink: Last but not least the food and drink here are so standout!! I'm a big tea lover and can spot high quality teas, and ethos selection does not disappoint. I had the hibiscus tea and mmm so good, and so good for you. Finally, the star of the show, the burger!! Yum! Truly best burger ever. It was so gourmet, with crispy edges, amazing sauce and a real juice to it. This place is the perfect place for a date or girls catch up over a delicious burger + tea/ wine! Can't wait to come back to try more things on the menu and 10/10 recommend the burger paired with a drink! Mm! read more

Ethos Wine & Tea - Most delicious burger ever!!! Perfect burger & drink moment - Wine Bars Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

This is a completely adorable hidden gem for both wine and small bites. I hung out at the bar and went with the "Bartenders Choice" and was served a really interesting trio of wines that normally I'd have never tried but am happy to sample. Good service - check. I also loved the grilled cheese with a side of beans. I can't remember what they were, but dang they were tasty. It all went down well with a glass of local sparkling wine. I'd happily return. read more

We came in from DC for the omakase experience and I can't recommend it enough. All of the food and their pairings were delicious with inventive flavor profiles I've never experienced before. We also felt that we got a really good amount of food for a great price. The inside and patio were incredibly charming alongside warm staff. The chef Kendall was a standout, explaining each dish and drink. The omakase menu was vegetarian and non alcoholic, but I would recommend to anyone! read more

We arrived on the last day of the grand opening and were welcomed as soon as we walked through the door. What a beautiful space, rich in history. The outdoor coveted patio was a perfect place to sit and enjoy some wine and food. Aldrian was our server--very patient, friendly, and attentive. We were given a small bowl of complimentary snack mix to celebrate the grand opening. Anything with furikake and roasted chick peas gets 5 stars for me. Next time I'll order a large bowl, because the house snack mix was tasty! We picked the bread and butter and the sweet and salty panini. My friend ordered the bartender's choice wine flight, and I ordered a Cappelletti 'Negroni Insorti' (kind of similar to an aperol spritz) because there were no sweet wines on the menu. I appreciate Aldrian letting me know all the wines on the menu were dry, so my only complaint is maybe to have one sweeter wine for folks like me. A German Riesling wouldn't go a miss on the menu. Next time, I'll have to bring my beagles with me and enjoy some tea and dessert, which all looked incredible when brought out to the other tables--the patio area is dog friendly for well behaved pups. I'm giving 5 stars for presentation, potential, and customer service. I look forward to coming back! read more

Awesome new spot in Charlottesville! We walked by here and stopped inside for a glass of Prosecco and tried the Thai tea cupcake. The vibe here is 10/10. They have a beautiful indoor bar as well as a delightful patio. The weather was perfect to sit outside when we visited! The staff told us they also have a coworking space in the upstairs area. The Prosecco was great and I appreciated the extremely thin and long stemmed wine glass. The real highlight of our visit was the Thai tea cupcake though! It was amazing-- flavorful, moist, and the perfect ratio of frosting to cupcake. Definitely will be back next time I'm in town! read more

What a cozy new spot on Main St! Met my friend here for lunch and we got to talking and eating our delicious lunch that I forgot to take pics! Paninis are served on Cou Cou Rachou English muffins. We started off with a pot of white tea that comes out in a gorgeous glass pot with the tea and herbs floating around beautifully. I had the Caprese panini and my friend had the fig and prosciutto panini, both served with Cape Cod style chips. The service was amazing of course as we were greeted and served by the owner who was beaming with excitement from her new establishment. Next time, I want to sit upstairs as it's an historic apartment so she's kept that esthetic throughout with cozy lamps, seating, book and game library and upcoming events! read more

Such a great atmosphere!!! This wine & tea bar is the perfect place to start your night and meet up with friends. They have nibbles & panini too if you want to eat here.
