Duck confit tacos

What a cool restaurant/wine bar - basically a huge wine cellar with tables spread around and a window area with beautiful views of the western mountains. Pro tip - if u have kids that need high chairs don't reserve a table by the window - those tables r high top tables and the high chairs aren't high enough - but these r the best seats in the house with the huge windows so leave ur kid at home - lesson learned Food was decent, not the best but they had a good variety - hadn't had duck or bison in awhile so that was nice Wine flights were a good price -$17 for 3 glasses - we had the red blend flight, they even have a whole page of non-alcoholic wines - but - do not recommend it tastes like grape juice with the sugar removed I'll probably have to come back to take pictures of the actual restaurant since it's so unique but my hands were a little full this time

We really love this place! It's never a wasted date night when we go here. We had Zack as our server and he was so patient, helpful, and nice! I had the Cioppino and my husband had the Cubano, it was so delicious. Also the patio is very romantic for a date.

Came here Friday night for a date. I ended up making reservations for 7pm and I'm glad I did because the house was packed! We started with two wine flights, a white and a red. We really enjoyed the Riesling and the Chianti. We shared the charcuterie board which was a healthy amount of food for two people. An assortment of meats, pickled veggies, bread, cheese and crackers. So many yummy combinations to make! We also shared the mussels & clams (not pictured). They were served in a red curry type sauce which is different than the typical garlic and butter you usually get. Definitely a change of pace but delicious. Would highly recommend coming here for a wine tasting and some great food

We made reservations for Valentine's evening dinner and we were seated right away. We did sit at a small table close to the entrance, so if you'd like a more romantic feel, perhaps request a table in the back. The service was just ok, but the food was much better. They have so much wine for sale! So many options. They also sell bourbon if that's your flavor. The atmosphere was really nice and made for a peaceful setting. I ordered the Cuban and it was very tasty. I'll definitely order that meal again. It's pricey, but for a special date night or a treat to yourself, it's worth paying them a visit.

The Whispering Vine is great for every occasion, they have a great wine selection of wine, good food and a friendly staff. I also love that they have indoor/outdoor sitting and they can accommodate large parties.

Lovely wine!

I've been coming to this location for quite sometime as in many many times over 5 years but not recently thrilled with the services of the service on the patio. Arrived before 800 and the waitress left us at end of her shift with another waitress without any introduction. Literally abandoned our table? The other waitress was attending to a large party next to us. We had good food , sliders, tots, duck tacos, wedge salad and ordered a fantastic bottle of wine. Wine didn't disappoint! The food and wine remain consistently good other than lacking silverware or plates to eat it? I'm frustrated and disappointed as this was a fave spot. I mentioned this to the new waitress when at 9 pm brought us a check to rush us out and clear our plates including my wine glass that had a couple of sips left in it and told her that we frequently come here and she said sorry and hope they do better next time. I was hoping for some kind of appreciation and a little time and care while she made time to take pics for the other party. I needed a nice night out and it would've taken very little for her to offer some little token, a smile, eye contact, a small free item or gift card to try them again? etc. The ambiance is nice on the patio and that's why I wanted to be outside this night and my heart is unhappy to find out that one of my favorite spots has its flaws. Please try it and tell me about your service experience. Hoping was an off night?? Left less than pleased.

Visited here a second time as I was very impressed the first time I came. I wanted to bring my husband for a date night. The menu has really great options to choose from. I went with the Ahi Tuna and my husband ordered a Cubano sandwich. We really liked that they had such different options that appealed to both of our tastes. The Ahi tuna had a wonderful umami flavor. It came with a side of sesame crisps that really elevated not only the look but also the experience. I thought it was more on the innovative side and it paired well. We ordered a bottle of their Whispering Vine pinot gris. The waitress was friendly in serving it and she also gave great descriptions of their wines when we were trying to choose. This establishment can be a dress up or down vibe. I loved the earthy warm tones with all of the wood and wine bottles etc. around. They do also have a shop attached where you can purchase wines. It's a pretty decent size. I thought it was interesting that they also have dining tables throughout the shop. I'm sure that makes for a great people watching experience. Can't wait to come back!

We always enjoy our dinners at Whispering Vine. This is both a restaurant and a "liquor store." They have a great selection of wine, whiskey, etc. As you walk in, the building is separated into three rooms intermixed with liquor to purchase and tables to dine and wine. They have a large bar for your libation enjoyment. The ambiance is nice and cozy. The back main restaurant has dark wood trim and high--and low-top metal tables. The bar area has large windows and plenty of table and bar seating. The staff is always attentive and personable. The drinks are fantastic..., with the Spritz being a personal favorite. The food is fresh and tasty, and we like to share dishes for a fun variety. I would definitely recommend making a reservation, as it fills up quickly. On a side note, Whispering Vine makes AMAZING gift baskets. Many are available for quick purchase and are located throughout the restaurant. They are unique and reasonably priced--the perfect quick dinner party or birthday gift!

Whispering Vine is one of my favorite Reno staples. It fell off my radar for a while but in the last 6 months we've been visiting pretty frequently. I love the ever-changing wine tasting menus and the seasonal cocktails. I've never been disappointed by any drink from here or a tasting. The food is good but the menu is due for some new items, or to reconfigure some of the existing items with new flavors or accompaniments. The seating areas are so fun, from around the wine, in the bar, or even outside on the patio. Still not a fan of the large back room seating area... mostly because it lacks atmosphere compared to the rest of the restaurant and because sound echos really bad in that space. It makes conversation with dinner companions super challenging and unpleasant. The service is good and consistent, and quite a few staff members have worked there a long time. Also, if you're a fan of whiskey, make sure you ask for the whiskey bible to see the menu of one of the largest collections of whiskey in Reno!

Loved Whispering Vine! Had the grilled cheese and soup - loved this!! Had a California chenin for the wine - so yummy! Loved this space - will be back!

The table to small for food and drinks. Hosted would not give use larger table Very of putting We had a reservation but still would not give us a larger table. Not a friendly place to go if you are planning on eating and drinking. The table was just to small I would not go back for food and drinks

They do have a limited menu, so I'd assume people come there for the alcohol and not so much the food. We met friends for dinner at 5 pm. It is mostly a wine bar and they have some excellent wines, but the place is so noisy. The noise level is a 10+, so it was difficult to have a conversation without shouting. The menu is a list of small plates and several larger offerings mixed in. Our server was accommodating when we asked for four menus instead of using the QR code to look at the menu on our phones. I guess that should've been our first clue that this was probably a place designed for a younger crowd. Our entire table ordered the burgers, which were pretty good, although on the small side for the price of $23 with a little cup of french fries. We also ordered an appetizer of the escargot, and when our burgers were delivered, we asked about it and eventually canceled our order because it was never delivered. We also didn't receive some of the ranch and ketchup with our burgers, but our server promptly brought them to us. Friday night is obviously a busy time for servers and the kitchen for accuracy in your order. I think maybe I'd try on a less busy night, so I'd be able to enjoy the company of my friends. I will say they had some gorgeous gift baskets placed around the business, although I didn't get to check prices I'm sure they'd be quite pricey.

Today was a Cine- Wine tasting fund raiser for Cordillera International Film Festival Check menu for the 6 courses of Greek food tastings .. all were pretty good. I was a little disappointed that there were no Greek wines as tastings, but the Whispering Vine wines were quite good

Do they take reservations for a table for 2 at the bar area? Will Game #1 of the World Series be on TV Friday night at the bar area?

Unfortunately, we don’t do that through our reservation platform Tock, but you can call 775-786-1323 to reserve the bar area.

The long tables lined with bottles feel almost like a curated gallery, and the garage-style doors let in natural light that makes the whole place feel alive without being loud or overwhelming. What really stands out is how intentional everything feels, especially the wine list. It is handwritten on a large chalkboard, which gives it a relaxed, neighborhood vibe, but the selection is thoughtful and globally inspired. You will find a mix of Old World staples and boutique producers alongside well-chosen California options. The list includes everything from crisp Picpoul and Bordeaux Blanc blends to approachable Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with more unique offerings like Loire Valley blends and Spanish varietals that show they are not just playing it safe. The pricing is another highlight. Most glasses land in the $9 to $15 range, which feels more than fair for the quality. They even offer a carafe option, about two and a half glasses, which is perfect for sharing and encourages you to settle in and enjoy the experience rather than rush through it. The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a wine bar. It is relaxed, conversational, and effortlessly refined. It is the kind of place where you can catch up with friends, go on a date, or simply unwind and end up staying longer than you planned. What truly made our visit exceptional was our server, Kate. She went above and beyond in every way. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the wines, and genuinely warm in her approach. She made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at the right moments, and created an experience that felt personal rather than transactional. It is clear she cares about what she does, and it made a great environment feel even better. Black Rock Wine Co is not trying too hard, and that is exactly why it works. It is curated, welcoming, and just the right level of elevated. We will absolutely be back.
