Met my sister here for drinks and apps before an event - first time here! Love the ambiance and the vibe - super chill and laid back. Love that they have a lounge area, too. Pretty low key for a Tuesday night so we had lots of seating options. QR code menus. I chose a chardonnay that I had not had before and my sister got an Aperol spritz. I instantly fell in love with the chard - it was delicious. The glass price was very reasonable and I was even more excited to see they sold it by the bottle and the bottle was super cheap - so i grabbed 3 to bring home. Second round of cocktails was the same chardonnay and a mule. She enjoyed both cocktails. We had the bruschetta - servers recommendation - it was BOMB! Each crostini was loaded with bruschetta! Lots of delish flavors - garlic and the balsamic were so good. Cajun crab dip was good, not as many chunks of crab as we had hoped, but still very creamy and flavorful. Our server even offered more toast for the dip, so we happily took that home to enjoy later.
All in all, great experience with great service. Definitely will be back - already made plans to return on a Thursday when martinis are half off :) They run other great daily specials, too - Tuesdays are free wine tasting!

Whenever one of my girlfriend suggests wine flights or grabbing a nice bottle of wine - I suggest here. I LOVE this place! The events they put on are great (just did a candle making class with Aroma Labs which is also in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo)
They have a gourmet grilled cheese that is wonderfully seasoned with Rosemary.
The service has always been top notch.

I brought my group of girlfriends to House of Wine for a tasting with food pairing. Everything about the experience was amazing. Ashley guided us through the tasting process. She was so professional, knowledgeable and patient! Everything tasted wonderful. Congratulations to the owner, Emily Lynch who helped me plan this event. I highly recommend House of Wine for any type of social gathering.

Loved this place for happy hour! Very nice atmosphere, good menu and music. Danny, our server went the extra mile with recommendations and our request to see the label of the Cabernet we enjoyed. The Cajun crab dip and cheese plate were a perfect combo. At $5 a small plate, you can go wrong. We will be back!

If I could give more stars I would! The wine list was expertly crafted and had an expansive number of flights. It was well beyond your normal red and white selections. I had a wonderful salad that was fresh, flavorful and beyond what I expected. The woman behind the bar was helpful and friendly.

Great atmosphere and gorgeous charcuterie! I loved the wine flights and ingredients on the charcuterie were top notch. Street parking is limited so give yourself plenty of time to find a spot.

What a fun place - the atmosphere is amazing here. It is honestly a lovely place. The setup is great. The left side is retail - a great little selection of bottles of wine. The right side is the restaurant. A large bar, high top tables, the front being a cozy section of standard tables. There's also a patio section outdoors. For being a small space, they have it set up to fit a lot of people in there.
The wine is good - glasses, bottles, flights. They also have cocktails and beer.
The food - damnnnnnn, those charcuterie boards are out of this world. You can just order one listed on the menu if you are busy chatting or just lazy, but if you want to be choosy or make it fun you can build your own - As small or large as you want. And they... are... incredible. Beautiful. Delicious. Seriously, do it.
The service here was also spot on. We sat at the bar, and our bartender was fantastic. Hopefully she's there the next time I go back.
