The best wine shop around ! I'm not exaggerating. The owners are wonderful! I just moved in the area an hickory wine shop has treated me like I am a member of their families. They have a wonderful selection of red wine but for the sweet wine lovers like my self the moscato selection is out of this world . The music on the Friday and Saturday is a great compliment to the vibe of the wine shop . So if you are looking for a great place to drink wine with a great atmosphere come an check out Hickory Wine Shoppe! Their COVID-19 policies are great to keep everyone safe while enjoying the environment. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. My food was not satisfactory, so I politely brought it to my server's attention. Instead of trying to help, she responded with, "What do you expect me to do about this?" which was both dismissive and unprofessional. I then asked to speak with a manager. After waiting 30 minutes with no response, I had to ask another server for assistance. I waited an additional 30 minutes, and still no manager came to the table. At that point, I had to go inside myself just to get someone's attention. When the manager finally came out, she offered no real apology and simply said that I wasn't the only customer in the restaurant, which is why it took so long. That response showed a complete lack of concern for customer service. Overall, this was an extremely frustrating experience with poor service from both staff and management. I will not be returning. read more

We had another great experience at the wine shop last night. As usual, the service was great, and we just love the vibe of this place. It is a great blend of younger and more mature folks. Their limited but delicious menu is just what you need while you enjoy wine or beer. We really enjoy just going downtown and meeting friends here on the weekends. read more

They sell my perfect moscato here! I love the atmosphere, the people and the wines! Cute outdoor and indoor seating if wanted :)

Pretty good wine, great wine slushies, friendly staff and owners and nice aesthetic. However the food is insane. I ordered what the menu said was a "roasted salmon" and what I got was cold salmon in a can (priced at $26). I wanna love the place but that was just bizarre. read more

Was passing through with my dogs. Other local establishments falsely advertised their hours and outdoor seating availability. This place was super nice to me and welcomed us. I can't attest to the food but if you're in Hickory I would stop here first. read more

We were so looking forward to enjoying our evening at The Hickory Wine Shoppe. We waited a long time to be seated and again to be waited on. Our server, Sh, was not in any hurry to get to us as she got to others who came in after us. Seems like the regulars are given better service than the newbies. We will not be back. read more

It was beautiful Saturday so we took our daughter to Hickory Wine Shoppe. We sat in the designated outdoor seating and after 5 minutes when no one approached us, my daughand I went inside while my husband remained at the table. Assuming we must order our drinks inside and carry them outside to the seating area. Once inside we were told that there are servers outside and we needed to order from a server. So.... we went back outside. Waited another 5-10 minutes and we could see 2 different servers but neither ever approached our table. We went back inside and explained to the bartender that no one has serviced our table in the 15 minutes we had been there and we would like to order inside and carry it outside. She let us do that and the entire time we were there- 45 minutes a server NEVER approached our table. We won't be back. We will take our money where it is appreciated. read more

Fantastic atmosphere. Great drinks and amazing food. The service is good, both inside and out.

Me and my boyfriend loved this place!!! It was one of the best experiences I've had in downtown Hickory. It was so classy but reasonably priced, the atmosphere was perfect, and both the waiters and waitresses were so welcoming and helpful. We got the charcuterie board and french bread with olive oil and they were both so good read more

Visiting from Phoenix AZ, Karin served us who was so amazing. Very knowledgeable on beer selections and wine. Absolutely loved the cute shop. Highly recommend to visit. Very cozy and welcoming on a cold rainy day. read more

This wine shop rivals any wine shop in any major city. The selections are amazing. From the standards to the hard to find boutique wineries, it is worth the drive to find this store. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Since this place has been renovated it's exactly what was needed downtown. The service and selection was spot on. The cheese board was delicious and we really enjoyed our time there. Check this place out; I doubt you'll be disappointed. read more

I love this wine shop! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The outdoor space is inviting! It is a wonderful place to meet a friend for a glass of wine, a cheese plate, and/or sushi. Periodically, the shop has wine tastings live music and other special events so it is worth signing up for the email list. read more

By far, the best place on the square in downtown Hickory. Great atmosphere, service, and selection.

This is the BEST place to get a drink in Hickory. They have beautiful outdoor seating right on the downtown mall area. The staff are the best, and all are very friendly and accommodating, opening your beer and often filling your glass, as well as bringing you a new cold beer if you're sitting outside. This is a place where you walk in, and there are two upright coolers filled with very good beers and frosted mugs. To the left and the back are racks of assorted wines to choose from. They have a good local selection as well as a worldly selection. They do close a bit early, around 7 PM, but luckily the Tap Room bar is just down the way. read more

It's even better now... one of my favorite spots to sit outside and enjoy a beverage on a nice afternoon / evening. Oh, and a great spot to pick up some great wine and / or beer for home. Knowledgable staff can provide good recommendations too! read more

Went to the bathroom (just like we had 2 times before) left a phone on the table , along with our to go box, and when we came out the entire table was moved. We spent a great deal of time there with excellent service for the first 30-45 minutes, but to come out of the bathroom and see your entire table gone was definitely a shock. And the explanation we got was "I'm not sure why that happened" was unacceptable. read more

Wine is good beer is great. Music is even better. Great place to visit... come on Wednesday and have sushi for $5.00

The owner of this place made me a believer in red wine. He recommended a red Cabernet Sauvignon called matthiasson village and I fell in love, we also ordered a rose (vanderpump rose) it was very good Additionally the food is amazingly well paired with wine, we got two different flatbreads a cheese board and pimento cheese dip we finished every bit of our wine and food. I rate this place ten stars but they only will allow five. Thank you to the owner and server I had that made our evening unforgettable. read more

Excellent choices, best sushi in town, great service, knowledgable staff! There's nowhere better to sit outside with friends & drink wine & beer. read more

Wow, this place is amazing! One of the coolest places in hickory. There are a wide variety of wines with a couple self pour stations so you can try some higher end wines. The place is beautiful! Service is wonderful, the people are very friendly and helpful! I will certainly be visiting the place every time I get back to Hickory! read more

I love this place. The staff is very friendly and helpful when picking wine. The prices are reasonable. You can buy a bottle to take home or stay there and enjoy the bottle (after paying a corking fee). They also have a large beer selection. The only thing I have had there to eat is their cheese plate (delicious) and their sushi (delicious, but only available Friday and Saturday nights). I wouldn't come here for a full meal, but I usually go here pre-dinner. Always have a good time at this place, but maybe that because I always get drunk. Cheers. read more

Sit out side and sip a glass of wine. It's about as close as we in Hickory can get to sitting at a European cafe. My only quibble is: why the extra P and E on the sign? Is that supposed to make it fancier? I feel like if you spell "shop" that way, you also have to have "ye olde" on your sign. read more

My husband and I have been here several times and we really enjoy the atmosphere here. They have a great bar indoors and outdoor seating that is dog friendly. They even provide blankets in the cooler months to use in the evenings. Their selection is amazing and they are great at making recommendations on beer and wine when you don't know what you like or want to expand your palette. I love their cheese tray as well. Goat Cheese with honey (its simple but sometimes that's all it takes for good flavor)! read more

I have been a regular patron of the Hickory Wine Shoppe, and have always felt welcome and comfortable. But, this last visit was quite nice. We were served with grace and patience in new comfortable seating. The sushi was great as usual. I will be back! Thank you for a pleasant evening after a long stressful week! read more

There was once a bottle shop on the square. There was friendly staff. They were open and friendly. The service was good. Now things are different. Accusations. Cold indifferent service. Unwelcoming and cold. read more

As a life long Hickory native I can not say how much I love to go to the Hickory Wine Shop. The service is outstanding; the food; cheese; shrimp & sushi is out of this world. Inside you can shop the vast array of wines & beer with the knowledgeable staff to help you make the perfect selection. I look forward to my trips to the Wine shop every week with my co-workers, family & friends. read more
