20 Best Wine Bars in Wilmington

“Love the food and the atmosphere- the staff is great! When dining alone- the staff is super helpful and friendly. And that is not even talking about the wine which is grand!!🙂“

“My family and I have enjoyed visiting the Cardinal for its fine food, libations and especially the personal service we receive from Marco. He is attentive and friendly, adding to the wonderful experience we have whenever we visit.“

“I love the charcuterie!! It’s awesome!!“

“I can’t rate Palate on “Food” because they do not have or serve food. It’s a bottle shop with a beer and wine bar. The staff is a fantastic small group of friendly bartenders who really know their wines and beers well and are great at suggestions. The wines are all natural and organic, which I personally love.

Kid-friendliness: It’s very family friendly. There are two patio spaces and an ice cream shop (Boombalattis) next door. Also a great spot for those with dogs as they’re super pet friendly.“

“We went for drinks and dinner on a sat. And then breakfast on sun morning.

Drinks and service were great on sat night. The food was just ok which is why the 4 stars

Sun morning breakfast was busy, and it took 20+ min to get 2 eggs and some bacon. The staff was friendly but obviously busy and struggled to keep up. Food was also just ok for breakfast.

Over all nice people, and comfortable environment.“

“Cool new little local spot in Wilmy! Ordered the Mid Rats (fries), & the literally omg…. ALBONDIGAS (meatballs). They were both so plentiful & so very flavorful! I’m still thinking about it all! Margaritas were a plus too! 😋 Place had a small but very tasteful menu. Wes owner/bar tender, super cool & personable to talk to, service was great! Just a overall fun lil’ vibe here! (Great aesthetics, as well)! Definitely a must stop! Will definitely be back, every chance I can!“

“Good service and food from JD“

“Fabulous addition to the neighborhood with great food and atmosphere . Super brunching !“

“Bottega is such an eclectic yet down to earth place to hangout with people in the neighborhood. There’s always beautiful art and an opportunity for music.“

“We stopped here twice in one day because it was that good. The banana ball was so good and my daughter LOVED their beignets. Their frappe was the best she has ever had. The dirty hippie was my favorite drink. We had to grab one of their donuts as literally just staring at them is mouth watering. The staff is so friendly and welcoming we love the vibe of the entire place. This place is a must if you are in Wilmington and it's vegan friendly. Hands down best customer service and coffee“

“Incredible selection and the vibes are always the best. Beautiful place inside and out 👍“

“One of our very 1st customers! Just an awesome vibe, and killer hot sauce collection. Great craft draft selection!“

“This place was so much fun. The whole family had a blast.“

“Overall our food was good. Did not realize the bolognese was not a tomato based recipe, which is the way I traditionally prepare the dish. It was a little dry as well. Not a dish I would reorder here.“

“I love Ibis so much and really would recommend it to everyone - BUT since it's opening it has had terrible wifi connection. I know this is a problem with many others. I barely come here anymore because I often go to cafes to do a little bit of work. Currently writing this because I just missed a work meeting while here.

I do however recommend this place 100%. I love the atmosphere and music.“

“I have always loved Indochine. As a Wilmington native it’s a staple to my favorites. The atmosphere is so nice, and the food is always spectacular.“

“An absolutely beautiful restaurant with lovely ambiance. Service was prompt and waitress knowledgeable about menu. Delicious food and I will be back.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Highly recommend it!“

“Wonderful service from Tyler! Made our night!“

“Amazing food and drinks with a gorgeous view! New management is top notch!!“
