I was looking for a place that could help me create and deliver a custom wine basket as a thank you gift for my boyfriend's sister (I don't live in Tallahassee and had to do this all long distance). I tried several times to go through the major retailers, but it was impossible to order a basket online, nor would the local stores deliver. I wasted so much time and effort thinking they were my only option. I did a quick google search by zip code and found the Wine House. I quickly explained what I wanted- 3 Brut sparkling wines, nuts and crackers in a cute basket and they took care of it all in no time! They picked out the wines, PRINTED my card (no bad handwriting here!), allowed me to pay over the phone, sent me a photo of the finished product and delivered everything within 2 hours of my initial call. Michelle was amazing and I will definitely check them out the next time I'm in town. read more

The Wine House - a basket of wine - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

The atmosphere is really nice. It's a hidden gem for sure with the antique feel and layout. The upstairs is nice as well. The servers are kind and you can even see the owners hard at work. They all take great pride in what they do. The food is a bit on the lower end compared to the service and atmosphere. My friend ordered the chicken wrap and they said it was good. I ordered the beef stew and it was good but it needed more salt. The apple pie dessert was decent. I honestly liked the ice cream more than the pie. All in all it's a great place with great prices on wine and quality. I'll rather come here for the wine and music than the food but nonetheless this is a place to visit. read more

Great atmosphere as we enjoyed a bottle of a great Spanish Garnacha, meat and cheese board while listening to live blue grass music.

Stopped in after happy hour at Island Wings to find a full German manu, great beer selection, wine (of course) and an AMAZING bluegrass band playing. Friendly service to boot. We will be back regularly! read more

My wife and I like this place - the staff is friendly, the wine selection is good, and the food is tasty. Our family tends us to give us cards to use here because they know we like it. But when we went last night and tried to use a $100 gift card that was given to us for Christmas 2018, the owner informed us that he couldn't accept it, because that card was issued under the last owner, and that owner failed to inform him that there were outstanding gift cards he needed to account for. 1) That's not my problem - you should do your due diligence when you buy a business to determine what debts they may have that are now your obligation. 2) Florida law (https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2012/501.95) prohibits the expiration of gift cards except under certain circumstances, which were not the case in this situation. 3) The owner made no attempt to assuage my concern and disbelief. So now he has lost a customer over a $61 bill, I will share my experience with my family who will no longer frequent the establishment or buy gift cards, I have posted a negative review, and I will report the issue to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. All of this was unnecessary. I know that small and local businesses have struggled this year, especially bars and restaurants. But compounding the issue with poor customer service policies is not going to help. read more

Trying to find a quiet lunch spot today & as we were walking by saw The Wine House was open. Nice little spot, great atmosphere, nice options for some good nibbles. My friend & I each got a flight of wines, a cheese board & pretzels/board. Loved they had some interesting German food choices so I need to come back. The only thing I was disappointed about (tho I get it) was that there were no sparkling wines available for 'by the glass' or flight choices. They were out of a few of the red wine choices, too, which is truly the main reason for a 4 star rating but I will certainly come back with others in tow! read more

The Italian Club of Tallahassee held a wine tasting recently. Sandra was a super great hostess, very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the wines. Be sure to check out this locally owned business for the best service and the best choice in fine wines. read more

What a nice surprise to find such a intimate, family run wine bar tucked away on Market Street. It was like a little slice of Europe that I would expect to find tucked away in a much larger city... or Europe! The vibe was low key but became lively because this particular night featured Grant Peeples performing his Americana mixture of poetry put to music woven in with an incredible knowledge of Tallahassee history. As a surprise treat, Mimi Hearn joined the band to sing a few favorites making the evening even more special. The jazz band plays there regularly on most if not all Friday nights and is incredibly talented. Between the jazzy trumpet player who doubled as a flutist and the drummer keeping the beat, there wasn't a minute we didn't enjoy. They were superb. The focus of food presentation and flavor had choices like a hearty cheeseboard, a flavorful stew, and shrimp on a bed of raw chopped brussel sprouts among other things. We had the stew and the shrimp dish and enjoyed both. The flavors folded into the stew told the story of a love of German history and heritage melded into delicious spices. As typical with wine bars, portions are on the lighter side, I think bread baskets would help a lot since the prices are on par with full meals at other mid-upper end restaurants. Although they had a selection of wine that should please most any palate, being non-drinkers I can't say much except that we ordered a burgundy recommended by the owner and found it very flavorful. If you're looking for something special, they can help you find the perfect choice. Surprisingly, as small as The Wine Bar is, there's an upstairs with a balcony and on another night I would love to sit up there. It was especially fun to listen to the father and daughter talk as they worked the tables throughout the evening...hearing her call him Papa with a pretty accent was straight out of a movie. As the music wound down, the daughter and her mom sat at the foot of the stairs resting and enjoying the music. Highly recommend you visit The Wine Bar for a nice evening out. It's cozy and when the band is playing, they definitely know how to keep the crowd entertained. There is always a cover charge per person, we knew that going in so I'm glad I wasn't surprised. We will be back! read more

Went tonight for the first time. We went to hear Michael Bakan, Rodney Jordan, and Bill Peterson. The Wine House has a great selection of wine, a wonderful little menu, and a very warm and cozy atmosphere. The band was just perfect. The chef was not there tonight, so we were disappointed that we couldn't order from the menu. But the small staff that was there were so helpful and kind that I'm giving this place 4 stars anyway. read more

A great place to relax on a Friday evening. This used to be just a wine store but now they have a bar upstairs with seating on the main floor of the store. Their menu consisted of appetizers and some main entrees. The ambience was quiet and cozy, although the small tables can get cramped with four people sharing the space. We had the stuffed dates and the smoked salmon bruschetta. The stuffed dates were a bit too sweet and could've used a bit more of the pancetta. The bruschetta was not on the menu but the chef accommodated our request since we saw him bring an order to another table. The bruschetta topping was delicious but the bread was on the softer side, and I would've preferred it to have been a bit crunchier. The wine selection is vast(they're the wine house after all) so this would be the perfect place if you love wines. However, if you'd like a better selection of beer, then this won't be your go-to place. I tried the riesling on the wine menu- Riesling Dr. L 2012 Dr. Loosen Middle Mosel Valley from Germany and it was perfect-light and crisp with a hint of citrus and not too sweet, nor too dry. Our plan was just to stay for cocktails and appetizers but we ended up staying longer(after 7pm) so when we got our bill, we had sticker shock! A bill for almost $90 for three glasses of wine, a beer, two appetizers and a cover charge! We didn't realize there was a cover charge per person after 7pm because of a live performer! She was actually a good singer but no one told us that there would be a cover charge after 7pm. Also, the price for the smoked salmon bruschetta was a bit steep- $18 for 6 small pieces. The stuffed dates were $12 so we just assumed that the bruschetta would be within that price range as well. I usually don't mind paying more but I just felt it was just over-priced. I think the server should've informed us about the cover charge right when we sat down so at least we don't get a surprise on the bill! read more

Incredible venue! Amazing wine selection and great tasting room! Would highly recommend for any wine lover in Tallahassee!

Listed online as a restaurant. Offers a full menu with delicious looking German food online. Lists decent hours on their own website, on Apple, and on Google. Attempt to call to place a reservation, learn they don't accept reservations, which is fine, but then continue to learn that they don't always offer their full menu. They only offer food if there is live music and if it is a weekend. There is nothing on their website, their socials, or anywhere the would lead one to believe that they are solely a wine store with the occasional food. They literally list themselves as a restaurant and have a full menu front and center on their website. Speaking of their website, the hours on their very own website are also incorrect. I called and learned this and the lady said that its been impossible to change the hours on their own website. That is 100% BS. Either they are too lazy to change their own hours and create a website that accurately portrays them for what they are, a wine store, or they're too cheap to pay a web designer the bare minimum to change it for them. read more

Wine Warehouse is a really stunning local business. These folks love wine and want to share that passion with you. They care about their customers and always take the time to show your their latest and greatest finds every time you stop in. The wine tastings are fabulous as well--I only wish that I could make it more often to this excellent establishment. read more

A great place to find wines you won't find many other places in town. The employees are knowledgeable and can help you find a great bottle of wine that suits your taste in whatever price range you're looking for. They also have music on Friday and Saturday with various small plates and entrees to enjoy. read more

Last night I went to a wine tasting class and it was really interesting! I really enjoyed being able to learn about different types of wines and the different ways each wine is made. The staff is very knowledgable about all types of wines and you can see it. Some wines I tried were delicious and I ended up buying a bottle after the class. I cannot wait to come back here and try out more great wines! read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. We went there last night and enjoyed some bottles of wine and listened to some music. When we went to pay our bill they charged a $10 corking fee on bottles of wine they sold us. I've never paid a corking fee anywhere unless I brought my own wine. On top of that they added a $5 cover charge for each of us when that was not posted anywhere that I saw when we entered, nor were we told about it by the person near the door when we came in. read more

Had to wait after asking to be helped and seated. The second request resulted in some seats on a busy night which is okay. Though 3 other groups got seated before us that came after us. We were younger adults and not dressed as fancy as some were for the jazz show. My money spent and presences are just as good as theirs. Food is great. read more

I purchased several cases of wine from this store when I was traveling to Apalaocola. The staff was incredibly friendly and were extremely helpful in selecting various wines. If that wasn't enough, I called them several days later, and they actually delivered several more cases of wine to me. The owner and staff are passionate about their product and their desire to please clients. Fantastic fine in Talahasse! read more
