10 Best Wine Bars in Charlottesville

“Charcuterie Board! Very tasty with 3 cheeses and 2 meats. Great price. Service was excellent. Yummy baguette, very good crust. Thank you!“

“I recently had the BEST SALAD of my life at Bizou (the roasted beet, mango + goat cheese salad!) It was a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon in summer, sitting in the lovely shade of a patio umbrella, a chilled glass of Virginia-made Rose wine…. A quintessential Charlottesville experience. I will definitely be back, and I highly recommend!“

“By happenstance, my partner and I went into CrushPad to cap the night. We enjoyed Chardonnay and the Riesling. I’m no sommelier but the Riesling was crisp and refreshing. The Chardonnay was incredibly smooth and balanced on the palate. The waiter was great but the chef Fredrick was incredible. He made us the most delectable pasta that was homemade and like no other. It paired perfectly with our wine. He also made a rich chocolate and raspberry desert.“

“Highly recommend this restaurant! The house salad was the best salad I’d ever had. The cocktails are wonderful; the tender even accommodated my special request. The entrees were sumptuous; we got the Italian sausage pasta and the salmon. We travel through Charlottesville twice a year and dine here on our way up and back each year. It’s my favorite part of our trip. Service is excellent.“

“Service excellence. Perfect setting. Fantastic food. Everything was great“

“My husband and I love to come to here, sit at the bar bc of the atmosphere and quality food. We were lucky enough to be served by Randy while at the bar during our recent visit. He went above and beyond to ensure our culinary experience was to our satisfaction. We can’t say enough about his commitment to ensuring a positive patron experience.“

“2nd time eatting here. Helpful waiter, good drinks and great food! Thank you and we look forward to our next visit. 🕌“

“Tucked away in sleepy Woolen Mills, Workshop serves up some of Charlottesville’s best coffee. Their team is always warm and knowledgeable. Their pastries are delicious and are gone early so don’t wait on a visit. Their outside sitting area is fantastic on a warm morning. Simply love this place.“

“We had delicious food and even better service. Was a great stop on our visit.“

“If you're a wine nerd this is your Shangri-la! We had a great visit at Tastings while in Charlottesville for the weekend. Bill is an excellent proprietor. The selection of wines and vintages were awesome to sort through, and we had some great conversations with Bill and other customers while we were there. The shop makes you feel like you're hunting for buried treasure, and we definitely found some awesome vintaged wines. I can't wait to come back for my next visit!“
