My partner and I recently did a wine tasting event with the owner, Esteban, and loved it. He was super engaging, unpretentious, and informative. The tasting was appropriate for both a casual drinker and sommelier level, since it was a small group and he was able to tailor his commentary accordingly. The wines selected are those that I would have not been exposed to otherwise which was a real treat - I feel like the tasting opened up a door into a new world for us!
It would be really great if they would start offering a bit more food service (e.g., bread and butter, cheese, etc), even if it’s super limited. I know I would come more often if I could get a little nibble with my drink.

A lovely wine bar with a wonderful selection of orange wine! I stopped by again on my birthday a few weeks ago, and was warmly welcomed by the owner Esteban. I think Brunello focuses more on the wine than the bar. In other words, it’s a great place to try out and get educated on new wine, but it’s less “vibe-y” as a bar. I wonder if softer chairs/a couch would help. Overall highly recommend!!

We were BIG fans of the original Brunello and were quite sad to see it go. This was our first visit since they re-opened in their new space and, while the space/atmosphere isn't as funky and eclectic as the original space, it's got a pretty good vibe.Pretty sure we were waited on by the owner, who was sooo nice and immensely helpful in assisting us in choosing a bottle of wine to share. He listened to what we like, answered some of our questions, and steered us to an absolutely wonderful bottle.We will be back for sure!

We have already been back twice within a week! We loved the wine selection and that all the wines are natural and unique. Esteban was very nice, knowledgeable and helpful in not only selecting wine but giving us great bar and restaurant recommendations. This is going to be our go to spot :)

Cozy place run by a charming Argentinian. In short, good wines and good atmosphere
This is a cozy corner spot with a view of CCB Plaza. They have a great wine selection and few snacks from around the world.

This has quickly become our favorite spot for a date night drink. Brunello Wine Bar is cute and cozy, in the center of Downtown Durham. The space is quaint and not pretentious. The best part is the service, Esteban and Sergio are incredibly knowledgeable and obviously passionate about wine. They will guide you to the perfect glass based on your taste without making you feel overwhelmed or d**** If you are planning to try more than one, they will even recommend coursing for your glasses. Every visit feels like a wine tasting, we love it!
