    Inside igloo
    Tia W.

    I really wanted to love this place. Inside, the decor was beautiful, although we didn't eat indoors we had reservations for outside in an igloo. The igloo was leaking-- on our heads, the table, etc. So I'm not incredibly pleased with that, as you can see it was raining. The scallops-- they were good. They were raw, and really it was the sauce that made the meal... however, the dish was $13, and I got about 6 scallops. So $2 for a raw scallop in some sauce. Not impressed. I enjoyed my wine. I got the shortcake wine, and it was good-- I even got a bottle to go, in support of small business. This wine tastes like strawberries-- without being too sweet and bringing in the tartness and brightness of the fruit which I think is well done. My partner was not a huge fan of the wine he got; a dark red. The low review really is a reflection of the ambiance, the price and quality of the scallops, and the fact that we reserved an igloo for what I thought was 2 hours but even on the website it says 90 minute reservations-- we were told to leave abruptly at about 60 minutes even though there was an empty igloo beside us and our time was not up. Furthermore I noticed other people that were there prior to us not being asked to leave. I feel that was disrespectful, and when I brought the time issue to the attention of the server he seemed to be unphased.

    Came here on a Friday night with a party of 5 and was able to be seated right away at the front of the restaurant. The hostess, Katie, was also our server and she was super sweet. However, it was lot going on to seat other guests and take care of us, so we waited a while for our orders. I do recommend the wine flight-- changes daily and includes a white, rose, red and a sparkling option. The space is beautiful and they have a nice patio in the back too! Looking forward to trying it out another time.

    I visited the establishment for a comedy show on a Thursday evening. Upon entry, after waiting to be welcomed, the waiter said sit wherever you like. The only unoccupied table was right there at the door and there were several people (entertainers) standing near the table. I walked to the other end of the establishment and saw a number of 4-person tables occupied by two people. I came back, grabbed my friend, and asked to sit at one of the tables. Since we paid for tickets to the show, this is something the staff should have handled. In fact, this could have been done in advance of our arrival. That said, I had a serving of cabernet and it was about $15. Thus, the 3 stars. I will visit at a time when there is no event and hope to receive much better service where I can have a discussion of the available wines before purchasing.

    Winery Food Patio Location We sampled all of the wine. We purchased a bottle to go. We at a charcuterie board and a cheese board that paired perfectly. We tried the wagyu - mouth watering! We had a great experience. The patio was perfect. Inside was packed with a few seats left on a beautiful Friday evening. We love to visit places when they open and sometimes leave a review after a second or third visit. In the beginning it is always a learning curve of what works and what doesn't. Those who learn and correct last. I foresee a great future for this adorable winery in the heart of Davidson. You can join the wine club (various levels available). They'll do private label wine options too. Excited to see the evolution. If you see me there, say "hi"! Cheers! Salute! Cin cin!

    Love love love DWC! I really wish there were more black owned wine bars & wineries all around NC! This place is so chic. Such a beautiful spot for girls day/night or date night. They have indoor & outdoor seating. The inside is gorgeous & the outside area is so beautiful, you can't go wrong no matter where you choose to sit. My friends & I loved everything about this place. The food was delicious, the wine was delicious, the service was great! I would definitely come back here! I would love try out their brunch as well. DWC deserves the 5 stars! I hope they continue to provide great service & keep making those delicious wines!

    We were surprised no explanation of anything was offered by our pregnant waitress. The QR code only detracts from the delight of perusing the menu and comparing descriptions and isn't user friendly for the older family I had with me. Service was minimal, bare minimum and the waitress didn't ask if we wanted anything else after our charcuterie board (kitchen advice: keep nuts and fruit off of the meat for your non meat eaters). The decor was excellent and we wish the waitress was up to snuff. We drove 40 minutes specifically to support this winery and ended up going to the Indian restaurant a few doors down and had amazing food and service. Part of the pleasure of going to winery's is the waitstaff explaining the wines and showing interest and knowledge in the presentation. I'd visit next time I'm in town but ask for a different waitress. Apparently, we could have had samples before selecting our tasting flights, but our waitress provided zero useful information.

    We were seated right away with our reservation -- it was pretty empty when we arrived, but the crowd followed us. It started getting packed about 40 minutes from our arrival. We were told immediately that cocktails weren't an option today. What a bummer! I was looking forward to seeing what Davidson had to offer. We opted for a wine and a glass of wine. I chose the sangria. We ordered small plates and I was pleasantly surprised that they were good. The music was mixed which was nice.

    We were seated right away for our reservation that we were a little early for. We'd chosen patio seating. There are umbrellas over the "exposed" tables and fans under the awning. Lovely vibe. The French Toast Bread Pudding was good as were the mimosa flights (today was apple, orange, and pomegranate). The menu says "Small Plates" and they aren't kidding. This is NOT your typical brunch. The FTBP wasn't so small that I was still hungry after, nor did I feel stuffed. If you are bringing a huge brunch appetite, you may need a second plate.

    I have been wanting to visit Davidson Wine Co. for some time now. The number one thing that finally made that happen during these tough pandemic times was the private outdoor igloos they were offering for reservations on Resy! We felt safe to finally dine out and it felt so good to have that option available (I hope they keep it for a while). The atmosphere is so relaxing. The wine was amazing. The food menu was so delicious! We ordered a bottle of their Carnival (so good that we took one home as well). The flatbread, wings, cheeseboard, and crab dip were all just perfect! And I discovers the most delicious combination while I was there ~ honey and cheese...wow! The service was outstanding and I most definitely will be returning with my husband as well as recommending to family/friends.

    I fell in love with Davidson Wine Co. from my very first visit. Tucked away in the charming Davidson area, this is definitely the place to be! Vibe: stunning interior, witty shirts for the staff, and a playlist that will definitely have you bopping at the table! Wines: features their own brand and other brands. A nice selection and something for everyone! A highly for sure is their wine flights (pre-selected). Bottles are reasonably priced and are great gifts! Food: tasty with a beautiful presentation! From cheese boards, to dips, to the flatbread, and dessert. Your taste buds will be satisfied - trust me. Customer Service: attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. COVID: they are taking all of the necessary precautions to keep everyone safe. The recent addition of two "igloos" outside are such a fun experience! Make sure to reserve in advance as they book quickly. Reservations are capped to 90minutes, so that everyone can enjoy all that DWC has to offer.

    We came for a ladies night. The place is nice and had a lot more space than I had anticipated. We ordered the charcuterie boards, which were delicious! The wine were pretty good as well. My reason for only 3 stars is because the service was slow. I realize there's a shortage of staff, so I took that into account. However, our server took long to take orders. There was a point in the evening where she had walked past us a couple of times without checking in that one of our friends had to just walk up to the bar and catch her there to finally order. I would still like to come back and try their other wines.

    While still supporting local restaurants through take out and delivery, I haven't physically been out much during Covid-19. Being one who dined out 2-3 times a week, this change has taken some getting accustomed to. I will say, I felt very comfortable at Davidson Wine Co. The staff were masked and seen wiping down tables and surfaces multiple times while we were there. We taste several of their labeled wines and decided to purchase a bottle to take home and enjoy later. The bar staff was friendly and clearly knowledgeable about the menu (and shared influence for the ingredients in the craft cocktails). There's food on the menu but we didn't eat since we were visiting while awaiting our reservation next door.

    TL;DR- Good wine selection but the customer service was wanting. When I heard that a new black-owned winery was open I jumped at the opportunity to visit! Good wine selection. Vibe didn't give black-owned as it was a very unexpected demographic that was throughout the winery as well as early 2000s slow-rock music playing throughout my visit; not a good or bad thing just an observation. The reason for my 4/5 star rating was due to the lack of customer service. When booking your reservation you have to do it online & have a small grace period to arrive before your reservation is canceled. When calling the venue, you receive an automated voice system that prompts you to 'Press 1 for a representative' which only sends you into an endless loop of their voicemail telling you to email for service. I left my card at the winery after having a few so of course I called, I emailed, I left messages, I even DM'd them, NO RESPONSE. I ended up having to order a new card on my birthday weekend but I digress.

In short order, they have learned our likes and dislikes and never to fail to guide us to old and new favorites. Weekly tastings open you up to new horizons and provide a chance to taste some seriously great wines without having to spring for a bottle that is above your average spend. Then again, Graddie and Caleb also have a way to seek and find great values. A bonus is that they offer food delivered from Table 31 next door, which is always excellent and tasty. The deviled eggs, Korean Cauliflower, French Dip and French Fries (crispy until the last bite) are always good as is the rest of their menu. I've had almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed -- oh, I forgot to mention the Nashville Hot Chicken... If you haven't been to this cozy, intimate shop with a large patio area, you owe yours a treat. Cheers!
