Henke is a gem on the westside in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Westwood. By looking at it, it…read moredoesn't seem like what you would think of a winery because it doesn't have a typical CA or Italy winery view. However, Henke is considered an Urban Winery. In short, they do not grow their own grapes. They have them shipped in but they do the rest of the wine making process on site. They have won awards around the world for their wine so they are still legit. My husband and I love our wine. I have been wanting to try Henke for some time. We decided to have a light lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. My husband has been before with coworkers so he was familiar with this location. We were greeted at the door by the owner, Joe. He seated us and gave us a menu and some time to decide what we wanted. I decided I wanted a true winery experience, so we only did finger foods and wine. We didn't order actual entrees. Henke is serving some delicious wines and yummy food pairings. My husband's go-to is Pinot Noir and I always order a sweet wine. I had the Cellar Blush. This is considered a Sweet Blush Wine. It was delicious, and my husband enjoyed it Pinot. We paired our wines with small plates to share. We had the Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage, Cheese & Charcuterie Plate, and their famous Air-Fried Cheese. This was the perfect afternoon lunch/snack. We laughed, toasted, and enjoyed our delicious bites. Their Air-Fried Cheese tasted like the perfect homemade cheese stick. It is a sharp Vermont White Cheddar in a crunchy herb jacket. These dishes were delicious! The crust was seasoned and fried perfectly! It also came with some berry compote to sweeten things up a bite. The Cheese & Charcuterie Board was a good mix of cheese and meat. It had some different cheeses, meat, jams, and berries. It was served with crackers. The stuffed mushrooms were my least favorite. My husband loves mushrooms and will always order stuffed mushrooms if a menu has them. In my opinion, the mushrooms were a little over cooked. They were more watery from being baked down. They had a little chew/stiffness as mushrooms do but you could tell they had been baked more than what they needed. Other than this everything was good including the wine! Overall, Henke is a cute Urban Winery with good wine and snack food. We did not have any entrees so I can't speak to any meals they have.

The owner and creator of Henke wines was the one who guided through the tastings. As beginners of wine he was very knowledgeable and kind as he taught us about the differences of the wines. The air fried herb crusted cheese was a great appetizer to warm up with. The main course consisted of chicken linguine carbonara and french onion soup both of which did not disappoint. Definitely recommend Henke if you're looking for a local wine tasting spot. P.S don't try and take the wine glasses home

WOW. I kept saying to my BFF who I was visiting last weekend, "....You have GOT to get married here!" I am not kidding. It's perfect. Not a huge fan of the port-a-potties and would prefer facilities inside, but it is what it is and that's OK. I learned summer was JAMMED and to be honest, I prefer October where it's a little crisp. I can't wait to bring my husband here. Love the live music and the Cincinnati-as wine, dry red, was fantastic!

The owner Tim (commonly on site always): (a) is a great guy; (b) knows more about wine than I ever…read morewill; and (c) is humble and fantastic about sharing that knowledge with folks. The location has street parking that is easier than you might think because Annata does most of its business when the nearby businesses are closed, but there's also a public pay lot across the street. The staff is like Tim - kind and helpful. I love the shop because it's in an old building with real wood floors and plaster walls and it just feels like an actual PLACE. Plentiful seating inside AND there's a killer deck out back that makes you feel like you're in the trees. Chill. The prices are better than fair - they are realistically designed so that you can enjoy good wine without going broke. Food offerings are light and there are not a ton of them but what they offer is always perfect to nosh on with your glass. If you're looking for someplace to enjoy time with friends, get a drink with a date, poke around and get some wine education with Tim, or just enjoy being someplace where you can think and relax and enjoy being a human, for a super reasonable amount of $$, Annata is my choice.

Unfortunately the kitchen was closed for the night, but we were able to relax with a multitude of choices for wine. The bar itself had a great environment where it was laid back.

We enjoyed a wine flight with the Sauvignon Blanc Clarendelle, the Rosé Minuty, and the Cabernet Montes Alpha. I am definitely planning to go back in the summer where they have outdoor seating and enjoy some of the food options they have.

We went to their bubbles tasting and were pleasantly surprised by the selection offered and the knowledgeable sommelier. Both have been a little hard to find since moving to Cincinnati. The flight was only $10 and we paid an extra $5 for the champagne option. We ordered a cheese plate which was well rounded and paired well. Other tables ordered entire meals which we didn't know was an option, it would have been nice to have seen a menu. We'll definitely return for more flight tastings and hope to purchase bottles of new finds.

It's the kind of place that makes you want to dress up a little and enjoy the moment. But cool and casual is nice too. While I'd recommend grabbing a bite to eat beforehand, the bar more than makes up for it with a solid wine list and beautifully crafted drinks. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a date night, it's a great spot filled with good energy, great opportunities, and stunning aesthetics. A definite must-visit for anyone wanting a classy night out. We went right at opening and were the only customers for a while, so we had anything we needed in a timely manner.

The restaurant had a nice ambiance, good playlist, and a variety of seating areas. The service is a little slow, but we weren't in a rush and it was only one server who I believe was doing her best. Two of us ordered lobster sliders to share, I have a fish allergy (not shellfish) and asked if there was fish mixed into the fish or any fish prepared in the restaurant. I ordered the sliders after this assurance, and after finishing one my mouth began swelling almost immediately. We asked for the server who went back to the kitchen and relayed there was no fish, alas that can't be true. I have had extensive testing and am absolutely sure of what allergies I have. The manager was involved after I asked the dish to be removed from my bill. When she approached the table she said "You're the one with the allergy? I can talk to you." She couldn't remove the entire dish because two were consumed and informed me that "I probably shouldn't have ordered lobster either since it's in the same family as fish." Food allergies are very serious and I hope that in the future they are more diligent as this is quite dangerous. A $5 discount on a $25 dish with a lack of care from management is not an appropriate response to the situation.

I told him what he likes to drink and he pointed my out to me one that resembles it in flavor. I believe the man's name was Nathan???? He is one of the mangers on 6/17/26 Great customer service.

It was not bad but wanted to sample the temperanillo. Sample from a box. Uh.... no. Took a sniff and little tadte of temperanillo. Yeah. Sweet box wine taste, not temperanillo or at least the taste I was familiar. I went with the Montepulciano. I got the bottom of the bottle with a fresh screw cap bottle. This glass did not taste like the sample. Like the pbr of wine. Just saying. I updated the review now based on manager response. My critique was originally based solely on wine taste so yeah I probably should have gave it a 2 star but now see the management clearly leaves something to be desired although I do appreciate the spell checker. You really got me on that one! Also, something being organic does not automatically make it better for you. Lead is also organic. While we are on the whole eco thing, glass bottles can also be recycled without all the ink on boxes as well as the plastics involved, as an aside. I will strive to not be ignorant and improve my palate by drinking more box wines. I thank the management for their response as it provided a negative image I was not previously aware.
