19 Best Wine Bars near Monona

“We met friends who were from out of town for lunch at Buck & Honey's on Sunday. They had never been there, so with my wife and me having been there before and very much impressed, we suggested it. What an incredible atmosphere, superb food quality and service that is so rare these days. We sure had a very memorable time and dining experience and will be coming back again very soon. Our guests could not stop raving about this place also. A shot out to our waitress Aliyah for such an outstanding job taking care of us. You sure are excellent at what you do and we thank you sincerely!“

“Huge shout out to the Wine Reserve. We have been here many of times & have always enjoyed ourselves. Wonderful food,as well as, drinks, and even some great entertainment. This even I left my purse full of cash & credit cards. Oops!!! All of which was promptly returned to me. Due to the attentive bartender, noticing before I even had. They called shortly after we arrived home. Could not be more impressed with this establishment & their employees!“

“Terrific dinner tonight with work colleagues. Delicious dishes and great service.“

“This is a very cute wine bar with a great dog-friendly patio in back. Went on a quiet Saturday evening recently and was pleasantly surprised with the outdoor space and the attentive bartender. They will let you sample anything before buying, which is nice. I do wish they had snacks of some kind - potato chips or olives or crackers. Just something to nosh on with your wine. Yes, they do have a food truck on certain days and times but it's usually Thai or Mexican and just not the type of thing I would want with wine. I think you can bring in your own snacks, so maybe I will next time but I think they are missing an opportunity there. Be aware that it is almost entirely self service- you order at the bar and bring your own drinks to your table. You also bus your own table.“

“They take the ceremony out of the wine and have a laugh with you. What a great nook to chat, sit with a glass and laugh. What a welcoming staff!!“

“My granddaughter and I was touring downtown Madison about two weeks ago, we came across D’Vino as we walked. The special for the day was crab cake and green fried tomatoes, of course we went in to order. The food was amazing. My granddaughter love the atmosphere of the restaurant and so did I .She order a pizza that was the best she ever had. The food was so good, even the water was great. We will be back!“

“This establishment has consistently provided an inviting atmosphere, complemented by a diverse range of musical performances, captivating events, and an exceptional wine club. The wine selection is consistently of the highest caliber, catering to the palates of everyone. The owners Mike & Kari are fantastic and always treat everyone with great respect and are very active in the community. Have been coming here since they opened, one of my favorites in the area.“

“I love the drink menu, they have many wines to choose from and some delicious and unusual cocktail choices. I recently tried several of their different flavors of flatbread and liked them all. I like that you can access this by boat from Lake Kegonsa or the The Yahara River. The recent renovation is beautiful, I feel very comfortable and welcome.“

“Everything was fantastic, definitely exceeded my expectations. Flavors were well balanced, ingredients were fresh. Will definitely go back.“

“Great service and good vibes! Highly recommend!“

“What an incredible experience! Everything from the drinks, food, service and atmosphere was amazing. We cannot wait to come back again. Gabe was an incredible server - personable, knowledgeable, funny, and had the best timing (he just knew when we needed another cocktail). I cannot recommend this place enough!“

“I'm not much for the downtown thing but this little place was awesome last night. Super rad bartenders with great stories :) Also, I got pretty drunk, which is cool.“

“Very convenient for campus meetings. Rooms are modern and clean....walls z bit thing (or neighbours were noisy). Amenities on the main floor are lots of campus food...even a pub. Bed was comfy. Would likely stay here again if the opportunity arises.“

“great selection of spirits and inviting atmosphere.“

“good place, good drinks, good food, great atmosphere!“

“The Thai chicken bowl is amazing!!! I’ve gotten it 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Great outdoor seating area too! There was even live music tonight. Great atmosphere and food!“

“Happily, this wine bar is a short walk from where we are staying. We arrived early in the day - 4pm plus and all was quiet. We saw it the night before and it was jammed. Quality wine selection available at fair prices. Great cheese tray and olives. Bread service with it all. We purchased a bottle of Priorat, discounted for take away. Wish we had time for another visit.“

“Absolutely loved the food choices. Everything was fantastic. The location was awesome and atmosphere was very fun.“
