A small olive oil, balsamic vinegar and wine bar that also has jarred olives , jams/jellies and relishes. The wine bar is a nice relaxing spot that also serves limited menu items. The products here are good, but customer service is lacking and pricing stickers cover a lot of product information. First let's talk customer service. I came in to refill 3 bottles of balsamic vinegar. The associate was helping me fill a bottle and answering a question, when mid sentence she walked away to start helping another customer...Um hello! I was mid sentence asking a question about your product! She came back a few minutes later and asked if I needed any help, like I just walked in. She finally finished filling my three bottles, but not evenly (see photo). I wish I would have taken a picture of the second issue, but I didn't. Basically they put their price tag sticker over the ingredients/nutritional information label. There were several products I would have brought, but as someone that is gluten free and soy free I couldn't take that chance since I couldn't read the ingredients. Overall nice setup, but lacking in service and product information!

1st time here, this was on my to go list and very glad we did. Very nice atmosphere, felt comfortable and welcomed. We each had a wine tasting flight and it was most enjoyable. We ordered the hummus plate to snack on while we tasted the wines. The hummus was excellent. The plate was beautiful. It came with an array of carrots, red bell peppers, garlic crostini's, crackers and a large portion of hummus topped with their olive oil. It was delicious and perfect for pairing with the wine tasting. We will definitely be back.

First time here, and you really need to try their Blackberry Balsamic Vinaigrette.

I don't have one complaint about this wine bar. From the moment we walked in until the time we walked out, everyone including the owner was so darn friendly!

One of the only places in Reno where you can refill a glass bottle of Olive Oil or Vinegar. Incredible vinegar infusions, since so delicious I pour them directly on ice cream. I use their mild to robust olive oil blends for cooking, salad dressings, marinades, and anything else. The staff is rad and super friendly. They also do wine tasting, which I haven't tried yet, it's on my list. With wine tasting they offer different charcuterie plates and other miscellaneous appetizers. I love this place.

Sweet wine bar in a strip mall. Not as much oil selection as Big Horn, but at lease this place is open on Sundays.

What a great place for a glass of wine, pick up a gift and have a bite.

I can't tell you why I love this place because its a secret. However, if you find out you'll love it too...

What a hidden little gem in South Reno! My hairstylist turned friend suggested we check We Olive & Wine Bar after I got my hair done a couple weeks ago. I'd seen the location several times since it's in a popular shopping center, but never thought to check it out and always assumed they just sold olive oil. Such a huge mistake! My friend Kim and I were welcomed by a sweet lady who gave us the opportunity to sit wherever we'd like. There's both a bar and small table seating at the back of the shop. There was only one other person there so we kind of had the place to ourselves--which is both nice and sort of quiet. We decided to each try the sparkling white wine with balsamic. At first I wasn't sure about it, but I figured it wouldn't be a popular item if it wasn't delicious so had to give it a go. It was so yum! I'm definitely looking forward to going back for this specific drink. They have a decent selection of finger foods and larger snacks available. We opted for a artisanal cheese platter and a hummus platter. Both were really good and had yummy options. The cheese plater came with 3 types of cheese, 1 serving of walnuts, and 1 serving of pickled bell peppers, along with a couple jams/sauces. I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed by the price point and volume of cheese on the cheese platter. At $18 I would have expected a lot more cheese. Three little portions with some accoutrements was rather disappointing; there was barely enough for even one person let alone to serve as a share plate. To me this was worth maybe $10. The hummus platter was much more robust, but also on the pricey end at $13. In the future I'll probably just plan to grab 1 glass of sparkling wine and skip the food but enjoy the free bread and crackers they serve with olive oil. We did not try any of the olive oils, though now I have another reason to go back. My friend bought some other products--they sell cute little home goods, some spices, soaps, and such. All in all it was a great little place. The location isn't ideal, but great if you're out and about doing some shopping. I'd avoid the snacks based on price point to quantity (note: quality was great!).

Nice little place to stop in for some wine and small bites. We had the cheese and charcuterie plate. It was very good. There are some nice gift ideas also.
Located next to Nordstrom Rack, this is the perfect place to unwind after a hectic shopping experience or just sit and enjoy a glass of wine and a flatbread. Our server, Destiny, was able to create a BBQ chicken flatbread to our specifications that was delicious. Although I consider myself knowledgeable about California wines, I had not heard of any of the wines available here. We ended up taking a couple of bottles of Chardonnay back to California.

Nice place for small bites and wine.

Love love love this hidden gem. I lovely wine bar with great food, great staff, and great market finds! I highly recommend their various charcuterie plates, flatbreads, and their specialty house drink! We visit often and it's always a consistently amazing experience.

I have written only one other review in my life. Upon my visit to Nordstrom Rack, I noticed this place. I knew I was almost out of olive oil and was glad to see a place where I could taste before buying. A young boy opened the door for me and my grandson, welcoming us in. I tasted three and chose two of the selections, and then after some browsing, I noticed that there was seating. The menu was not exactly tailored to a young child's taste, but the host offered to omit onion from the flatbread, I was intrigued by the albacore, and we had a spontaneous and fantastic lunch. I am home now enjoying the olive oil I purchased which prompted me to write this review. I truly enjoyed this experience.
