Chateau Cellars calls itself elegant, but all you’re really getting is overpriced wine and charcuterie you could find anywhere else for half the price. I just got back from Romania, and honestly, even the KFC there feels more elegant than this place by comparison. Florida needs to stop confusing pretentiousness with luxury.

I decided to treat myself and splurged on a jazz night food and wine pairing event and I had a great experience for going solo. They served 5 delicious courses with 5 great wines and I was beyond full by the end and highly satisfied. I wish they poured a little more wine for the cost of the event because they all were so good but overall it was a great experience.The staff was excellent, even entertaining which was nice since I didn’t have anyone to talk to, the atmosphere very cool as it does feel like a wine cellar and the jazz band was awesome. For anyone looking to try something new, I definitely recommend it, as it’d be especially great for a date night.

Drove all the way from Tarpon Springs to treat my Italian mother to an “Italian Wine tasting and dinner” the only thing Italian were the wines and Carolina. The place is beautiful, the wines and selection in their retail space were great…but the food left everyone in our table with nothing good to say, and on top of that, all six of us said we were starving after the dinner. For $150 per person, or the $88.50 per person special ($176 for 2) you shouldn’t leave starving. The people pouring the wine spilt wine everywhere on the table and brochures, for being a wine chateau the least they can do is know how to properly pour wine without making a mess. The prosciutto and melon appetizer was bland and unappetizing. The lentil soup was okay in flavor but the lentils were undercooked and crunchy. The ragú parpadelle was ice cold and undercooked, more than just Al dente, and had no flavor. The people from our table asked for cheese and red pepper and was never brought to them. My mom and I didn’t touch the pasta after the first bite and nobody asked us what was wrong and why we didn’t eat it. Same with the dessert. At least they could have asked if there was something wrong and how they could have made it better so we could have eaten something for the money we paid. I’ve had better ragú at Olive Garden and that says a lot. The “Italian dessert” promised a nice Italian chocolate cake and we got what it seemed like a cold dry brownie from Panera Bread that nobody in the table finished after one bite. Every single person in our table said the food was extremely disappointing and we talked about being extremely hungry and headed somewhere else to get dinner. After the money we all spent we really shouldn’t have be leaving so hungry. Needless to say, none of the people we met in the tasting said they would be back for another event. On the positive side, at least we made new friends with similar backgrounds and interests and now we will be visiting other food establishments together.

Went in on a Tuesday. I’ve been wanting to check this place out for a while. The bartender provided us with samples and lots of info on the different wines they offer. The chef talked to us about the charcuterie options. Reasonable pricing and very tasty! We even got a tour of the cellar! We look forward to going back soon!

They cancelled a wine tasting for which we had prepaid. They refused to refund our money because we were unable to attend their short noticed reschedule.

Now serving dinner in the wine bar. The wine room is amazing too.
They were very busy with a private function but still assisted me in finding a specific bottle of Greek wine I was looking for.

We did a Sicilian wine tasting at Château Cellers. The wine choices were excellent and the charcuterie to go along with it matched perfectly. The wine selection they have for purchase will suit any needs. We are big Italian wine fans, and they had plenty to choose from.

I would never patronize this establishment again. We prepaid for a wine tasting. The place cancelled the tasting due to Milton. Then re-scheduled the tasting for a date when we were out of town. Despite our communications beforehand, they refused to refund the prepayment. In refusing the gentleman I communicated with was so rude on the week end, that I called during the week so management was aware. It turns out the rude person is an owner.
