The Wine Cellar

I LOVE The Wine Cellar. The atmosphere is wonderful and there is always something going on there every night of the week. Live music, wine tastings that change every week and the tasting is so reasonable with a nice healthy pour so you can really taste the wine.
The Wine Cellar is good for meetings for business, girlfriend night out, date night or just to pop in and relax after a long day.
The staff is amazing and the owner is always on sight to help with a wine or food selection. I highly recommend this hidden Lake Norman gem!!!

Excellent selection. Laid back. Host is engaging and encouraging to those who have no experience tasting wine at all. An excellent location for business meetings as well due to Wi-​fi access, plush seating, and appetizers that make any presentation easier. I intend to return and enjoy.

Great place! Great wine. $ 7 wine tasting every Thursday evening. And the bottle prices are good. Great wine at reasonable prices. And the owner is great too.

Great sandwiches and cheese plates. Probably one of the best hidden wine bars in the area!

What a nice surprise. I can’t remember why we stopped in but the owner is really nice and I love the tasting cards. I thought the emails were a bit much but glad to have gotten one as we stopped in and got a real bargain on the best wine I have had in a long time. The card which you load with money allows you to taste a variety of wine before purchasing. I look forward to doing a tasting one night. The place does not look like much the the people are really nice. I think if they softened it up a bit more for the cosy feel they make get more people to pop in. Maybe some soft chairs and tables like in a french tasting room. Just so people are not just standing around the pouring machines. Just a thought

If you are looking for a cozy place to have some great wine, look no further. Super cozy with elegant décor and great owners and staff. They have been voted best wine selection by the readers of Lake Norman Currents Magazine. Every Thursday night they have a wine tasting that starts at 7pm for $ 6 and you get a discount if you buy bottles from the tasting… a great way to find new favorites. Lately, I have enjoyed starting with a prosecco & then a glass of a yummy red (I mix it up each time).
They have free wifi and open at 2pm on weekdays, so bring the laptop and work from here then enjoy wine when you’re done (or why wait?). They also have a food menu with hummus, various cheese & meat plates, baguettes (pain & buerre– yum!), sandwiches & more. Oh, how could I almost forget to mention the MACAROONS… get some!
They host weekly events and play on themes of current events or the entertainment buzz so check out their website often. If you need a place to host a business event or networking event, this is a great spot & they welcome groups (just call ahead).
Enjoy an intimate glass with a loved one, host a business meeting or bring the party with your friends. They will accommodate all scenarios perfectly.
Salute! Cheers!

Great intimate atmosphere, dim lighting, great bottle selection. The staff is great and very knowledgeable on the wine and also the food and cheese pairing selections.
I usually go for the wine and local beer but I actually tried the Parisien the last time I was there and I was very impressed, the taste was authentic and although i’m not the biggest cornichons fan, it blended perfectly with the bread and butter.

Great atmosphere for a date or friends get together around the LKN area. The wine selection is superb, also has a pretty good bottled beer selection. Their wine tastings on Thursday evenings are a great deal with selections from around the globe. Great sandwiches, cheese plates, Free WiFi, live music and phenomenal staff wrap up the 5 star rating!

I’m going to start with the wine/​beer selection. Excellent selection and reasonably priced. Great service as well. Cute décor and ample seating despite size of the place. 4 stars for the wine. The food, however, 2 stars. Don’t come here hungry. It’s a poor representation of french food, plus the name is ‘wine cellar’ so you get the picture.

Great Neighborhood Wine Bar, easy to get to, friendly owner and staff…“Everyone likes the Wine Cellar”…

The Wine Cellar has such an relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. You can be a wine newbie or a wine connoisseur of any age and enjoy being here. Their welcoming and educated staff makes sure that you have the best experience possible every time you come in. And the specials are wonderful. Half-​priced glasses of wine on Mondays, $ 6 wine tasting on Thursdays, plus they give you 20% off of any unopened bottle of wine that you buy to take home! Whether you’re just in the mood for a glass of wine or a whole bottle, this is the place to go to get it.

The dim lighting, the constant chatter and music make for a romantic and upbeat wine nook! When I lived near Davidson I went pretty often. One night they had a great guitarist playing. On the other nights their playlists was pretty rockin too! While the wine selection is awesome they could work on their appetizers a little. The French bread was very crumbly and not French-​bready at all! Other than that, grab your friends or your boo and head on over.

I’ve been to the Wine Cellar a few times for a tasting or a glass with friends. The owner is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, he even remembered me the 2^nd time. Prices are very reasonable and it is obvious that they do not skimp on quality.

I like this little spot! Was recently disappointed when the advertised entertainment didn’t show. Strange that they didn’t seem to know why. The just kept saying she was late. I guess mix-​ups will happen – right? I am sure I will be back. Maybe the second Wednesday of the month… check it out!

I am so happy I found this little gem in Lake Norman. What a great place to chill with friends and co– workers after work. Loved the service and wine selection. I deducted a star for the horrible live music. The amateur acoustic guitar player was very distracting.

I visited the Wine Cellar last week while waiting on a friend. I give this location three stars because the wine I ordered from the menu of wine by the glass is no longer offered by the glass. The bartender did have a recommendation for me to try that would be just as bold as what I initially chose. I was very happy with the recommended selection and will return here again if I am in the neighborhood.
PS – I love the walls! They are super fun and the texture gives a great dimension.

One of the things I hate about Lake Norman is the total lack of good restaurants. I try to find cool coffee shops or cafes to get work down and I“m always disappointed.
I was waywardly walking through the parking lot and I talked myself into simply giving in to Starbucks when suddenly I ran into The Wine Celler. I was the only person in the restaurant but to be fair it was 3:00PM. The owner greeted me with a big «Bonjour» and suggested the Ham Sandwich. It was a great choice. The ham was very fresh and high quality. I was a little surprised and asked where it was from.
The owner proudly told me that all the meats are imported and fresh. The baguette was exactly the way it should be… crispy and soft. Very authentic and tasty.
I ended up ordering another sandwich to go. This is a great find in a sea of restaurant misery.

Wow, this place is sexy! What a fun little gem right in Lake Norman. Not only did I feel as if I had stepped out of the Carolina’s and into a little bar in NYC, but the staff was super nice and helpful (not like NY haha)
They offer $ 6 wine tastings every Thursday which is perfect for a fun weeknight escape, and have plenty of comfy couches to lounge on if you get there early enough to snag one.
My favorite thing about the Wine Cellar though, was the perfect little menu of bar nibbles. They have hummus for $ 2.50 — unheard of! They also have these really delicious sandwiches if you are a little hungrier. My favorite is the Parisien — French Ham, Butter, and Cornichons — just like they do in France… mmm takes me back to studying abroad in Paris!
I can’t wait to go back — its so nice to find a classy wine bar with a non pretentious atmosphere and a great staff. Vive la France!

At long last, I was able to visit The Wine Cellar with the hubs (Nicole’s word). The atmosphere is cozy but not private. If you sit on one of the comfy sofas, you get to look at other patrons. In any case, when you’re having a glass of vino (or a bottle), who cares! The staff was excellent and recommended a very nice red blend that was not yet on the menu. I give the wine ⁵⁄₅. After tasting, it was definitely a winner. I will give the cheese tray ³⁄₅; it was okay. Some of the cheese were not favorable with the wine selection. More visits to this local establishment are definitely in order, especially on a lazy evening. The place grew more crowded as the evening wore on. If you are visiting with friends, arrive early evening to secure a few tables, or the sitting area in the middle.

Walked in on a random Thursday evening, and was surprised by the nice décor and the beautiful live Spanish Guitar music. We didn’t have a lot of time so decided to have a wine tasting. For 6 $ you can sample two reds and two whites. My husband doesn’t usually like red wines so we asked if we could substitute his reds for two other whites. We were told «no.» Fortunately the reds we tasted ended up being light and delicious. If you want to buy a bottle of one of the wines you sampled they will take 6 $ off the price. Most bottles were around 28 $ — 35 $. We met one of the owners who seemed pleasant enough. All in all, if we were in the area we might stop in again… but in Huntersville there are better choices for an evening out for wine.
