My first time here and definitely won't be my last. They had a live jazz artist who I love playing that night so figured perfect time to try out the place. I got there early and sat at the bar. Wasn't crowded yet so was served right away. I tried the spinach and artichoke dip and pepperoni flatbread, both were good. I didn't partake in any alcohol but they have plenty of wine options and a few cocktails as well. The whole vibe there is great for girls night, date nights or just solo. Great ambiance. read more

I just got back picking up a to go order including a bottle of wine (Shelton, the house red) I tried opening the bottle and the cork completely crumbled and disintegrated into the wine. Gross. Was not able to drink the wine as per my research, a disintegrated cork is indicative of a larger problem. I tried calling back multiple times but no one answered. UPDATE: I called multiple times the next morning too and finally got through to the rudest man I've ever had the misfortune of speaking to. He was in an immediate hostile, angry, and yelling state. I was bewildered. He said he was the owner. I told him what happened. He NEVER apologized. He was hostile and yelling when he told me to bring the wine back in if I wanted my money back. I told him driving with an open container was a felony but if he wanted to get it I could meet him in my neighborhood (where I could walk and hand it to him). He misunderstood and yelled that he's not coming over to my home. I knew then that there was something seriously wrong with this guy. He seems very MAGA which is ironic given that most of his patrons are "non-MAGA." I even called the police asking for assistance. They told me not to drive with an open container. I went to this place after reading the good reviews about the music and the wonderful service from the woman owner. So I asked to speak to the woman that was indicated as the owner. He angrily and loudly refused. I had to hold the phone away from my ear. He acted like I was at fault and bothering him. He was the one selling bad wine and greasy food (now I question the food after dealing with the owner). He told me not to come back. And I won't. He finally told me to pour out the wine and give him my Venmo details. But I just called back and left him a mailing address so he could mail back my money. I feel like crying and have a headache now. I don't deserve this. I feel like I've been punched. I have never been so disrespectfully treated. read more

I don't think I can say enough good things about my first impression of Grapes! The owner, Corine, was warm, inviting, and genuine even though I came in very underdressed for the ambiance. (It was a rough day and I was just trying to charge my EV and lick my wounds a bit.) She handles customers with the kind of grace and quiet kindness that I wish I could bottle and sell. Great selection of wines by the bottle to take home and on the menu. Speaking of the menu... there wasn't anything that I didn't want to try. Very solid Antipasto/Charcuterie offerings and a great selection of add ons. From top to bottom the menu is extremely well thought out. My head turned every time she brought out someone else's plate. (The Roasted Portabello Mushroom is on my to do list!) I say all of that to say: EAT HERE! DRINK HERE! The other reviews are not lying. Really, even if I didn't come back for the food (which I will). I will definitely come back for a little bit of kindness on an otherwise awful day. Thanks for being a bright spot today. Glad to know good business owners are still hanging in there. read more

Grapes Bistro And Wine Bar - Bars Near Me - Indian Trail, North Carolina

I have been to this wine bar a few times and every time it has been fantastic so I knew it was time to give it a review. The food, the atmosphere and the owner makes the experience superb. The food we ordered was delicious and the pitcher of Sangria was one of the best I have ever had! We ordered the Italian Melt Panini, the Grass fed Beef Sandwich and a Pear and Gorgonzola Flatbread. Everyone was happy! They were setting up for live music but we had to get home. We will be back for sure! read more

Nice menu and friendly staff. We had the warm Brie with honey, Caesar salad & Rustica flatbread. All were delicious and good quality for the price. We enjoyed a nice wine from the list. Live music was a plus too. We will definitely be back! read more

Cozy bar with excellent variety of wines and spirits plus small plates of charcuterie and flatbread pizzas. Enjoyed our visit.

Cute, quaint, and comfy. The owner Corinne makes every is perfect. They began having live music events which is great but even swinging by on a random afternoon she will make your day. I had the sparkling Rose, it was light and refreshing and paired well with the pear flatbread. The food is made to order and the flavors are superb. The wine selection is great so make sure you go multiple times because you have to try it all read more

We stopped in here for a drink and an appetizer. It's a very special inviting place and the owner is very friendly. I tried the Mosel Riesling and my wife ordered the Pama Rita. Both were excellent! We also tried the Spinach and Artichoke dip which was equally as good. They also have a variety of other food items on their menu. We would definitely recommend this place. read more

Grapes is an amazing place to enjoy any occasion or even to go by yourself for a nice drink. Corinne and the other team provide the best service and anyways make you feel welcome. The food is always fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is comfortable and suitable for an intimate night out or a group gathering. You'll find me there at least once a week. read more

We love coming to Grapes! They have great wines that we don't find anywhere else and a full bar with unique cocktails handcrafted by the owner, Corinne, which I think she rotates seasonally. There's also a great food menu. COVID has been tough because she hasn't been able to have the sommelier come do in person wine tastings. Colin is awesome! Can't wait until he can come back! She also regularly has live performers from blues musicians to an electronic violinist. If you're looking for a glass (or bottle) of great affordable wine and a nice bite to eat, give Grapes a try! read more

What a find! Grapes is tucked away in a small shopping area but worth the short jaunt off the main drag to get there. We got there on a night when the best musician was playing. Sorry, I don't remember his name but he was a solo guitar player and played great music from different genres - something for everyone. And not so loud that you couldn't hear the people at your table. They have yummy wines and really good food. Lighter fare and the owner is a professional chef so everything is done right. She goes out of her way to find a wine that suits your palate. She remembers your name and it's like being in your own living room but with Service! Now that we have family in Charlotte, we go every time we're in to the area. read more

This is a 5 star wine bar, great selection, friendly owner and the food was fantastic! We will be back - highly recommend!

I've been to this business 2 times and I haven't been real impressed with the 'overall' customer service compared to the previous owner. For instance, I noticed the welcome I received isn't as 'warm' and fuzzy as others that entered and didn't look like me. Also, when others left out, they were 'thanked' for patronizing the business. Of course, I walked out with, nothing said, even though I left a tip close to 20%. So, yes I was served professionally, but I'll continue to patronize the other surrounding businesses where I feel as though they truly appreciate that I 'stopped' in. read more

We had an after work get together here and had a wonderful experience. Great service, tasty food, and great wine. Definitely will come back. I would recommend this cozy place for an intimate family/friend gathering. read more

Great place with great food!!! The inside is welcoming and the wine is top notch. We took a group of 6 our first time and had a great time. The owner is very knowledgeable about each wine. We have been back twice, trying different wine each time, and have had great food and wine every time!!! read more

Grapes is THE place we love for spectacular (and affordable) wine and great dining experiences. The owner Corinne is always happy to see us (or she's a great actor, it could go either way :) and she remembers what we have had, what we like, what we don't like, etc. - she always works to make every single event memorable and a positive experience. The wine menu has a foundational and ongoing base of selections, and yet is also peppered with new vineyards and tastes every month. She also develops Grapes-only cocktails, seasonal and monthly and every one I've tasted has been a winner. As well, Grapes encompasses the wine and tasting experience with live music from a variety of local artists and also special wine-tasting events, where I can learn more about the selected wines and taste them firsthand. Finally, Grapes is a local bar/bistro that supports local businesses, artists, and vendors and brings together real people on a regular basis - we have made so many new friends there! Bottom line: Grapes is a wonderful place to enjoy great, unique, and affordable wine, incredible food, and easily expand your friendships and positive experiences. read more
