What an unexpected wonderful experience. Tony, is the sweetest. We traveled from Vegas and this place didn't disappoint. All wines are made in house made. I'm not a sweet wine drinker, but I was absolutely impressed with their sweet list.. their holiday wine, visions of sugar plum is literally Christmas in your mouth. Thank you your hospitality. Ps Cutes wine novelties made by Tony herself, please stop by and support read more

Very welcoming to my friendly dog, but more importantly some of the best wine in NC...not just sweet muscadine wine, but a ton of fantastic red and white wines that reminded me of New England and California wines. And, the winemaker's wife was hilarious. Also met great people who were also super dog friendly. Awesome experience and highly recommend. Bonus: amazing seafood place next door...the owner is from Maine and offers lobster rolls, whole belly claims and more! read more

We love going for a tasting! Noni always gives us a bonus pour and makes us feel like friends of the family!

Truly enjoyed this store front winery! The owner was very genuine and ensured we had a great time. She was very generous with the portions of the tastings. I also truly enjoyed the regulars there that made us feel at home. Definitely one of those places you come back to on your next trip. I also really enjoyed that there were so many fruity/sweet wine options. My visit to Noni Bacca was one of the highlights of my trip:) read more

Enjoyed a tasting with friends. The owner was knowledgable and engaging. Wings made on premises. Nice variety of whites and reds. Great value of several pours for $20. Time very well spent. read more

So just know as others have stated, yes, the environment and look of Noni Bacca is very different than your traditional winery found in NC. It is definitely that beach town, low key, and let's drink vibe type spot. With that said, my aunt and I both got a tasting and shared so that we could try 14 wines (7 wines each). The pours were VERY generous. What we tried: Lots of Fruit Wines - Peach Splash, Peachberry (Peach Raspberry - definitely all raspberry in taste), Bacca Black (Blackberry), Bacca Blue (Blueberry), Cranberry, Strawberry Fields, Nice Melons (Watermelon), Pink Hooters (Grapefruit), and Black Cherry. All of their fruit wines were okay, except the strawberry fields as it tasted medicinal to me. Surprisingly the Nice Melons and Pink Hooters were my favorites of the fruit wines, with the peach rounding out the number three spot for me. Calypso Bianco - This is also one of their fruit wines, but I wanted to point out that it tasted like a mix drink - a wine version of a pina colada. The one to take to the beach! Dessert Wines: Chilly Bear (Riesling Ice Wine), Aurora Borealis (Cab Franc Ice Wine), and Dock of the Bay (Port Wine with Brandy). Loved both of their Ice Wines, they were my favorite wines of the tasting. They did a fantastic job with those, and they were definitely sweet! I wouldn't necessarily come out of the way for Noni Bacca, but I would definitely visit again if we were in Wilmington. Service was fun and inviting. Definitely had a great time! read more

I'm giving 2 stars only because the family that runs this place are kind and decent people. The wine is just not. Perhaps if you're a fruit wine drinker, you might feel differently about it than me. I only found one of the reds (Merlot) to be drinkable. They attempted to add basil to one of the red wines, and yuck. Any winemaker adding literally anything to the grapes is a disservice to the wine industry. Wine tells its own story and it doesn't require any additional details, especially herbs or spices. If you're a red wine enthusiast, don't bother. If you're a fruit wine enthusiast, maybe give them a shot. read more

The wine tasting was great. There were about 50 to choose from you get 7 nice size pours. The bar tender/owner was knowledgeable and super friendly. The atmosphere was casual and lots of fun. They had snacks to purchase and other souvenirs. I would definitely go again and recommend. read more

We had a wonderful afternoon at a wine tasting here. Toni and her son were delightful and made us feel like family. Toni is the kind of person that makes everyone feel at ease and she really know her stuff. I love this place and will be back with family and friends. read more

Noni Bacca Winery was a very interesting experience to say the least. It is located in a strip mall, which didn't deter me in the slightest. The service was good and the atmosphere was incredibly inviting. However, this is where the positives end. Noni bacca offers an incredible selection of grapes, however they only bottle the grapes, and do not actually grow anything. My wife and I have been to tastings all across the country, and this experience was different than all the rest. We each did the nine tasting option. I tasted three whites, five reds, and one desert. All of the wines except for one bottle was already opened. The pourer would place a rubber stopper on the top of the bottle and use a pump to attempt to preserve the wine indefinitely. It did not work. All of the wines had gone bad and tasted vinegary, except for the Gewurztraminer which was opened in front of us. When the pourer brought out the Riesling there was a cork floating in the bottle. The owner informed the pourer that it wouldn't matter and to pour the wine anyway. Noni Bacca has won quite a few rewards and we assumed the off tasting wine was because they let oxygen into the bottles and do not open fresh bottles of wine daily. We decided to buy a bottle of wine and hoped it would taste better fresh. We could not have been more disappointed when we opened the bottle of wine and the cork showed signs of rot and the wine had gone bad. read more

I'm not a big drinker but my husband and I visited this place and did their wine sampling. The owner is very nice! He told us about his Sicilian heritage of making wines. The wine was good too. It was really fun to sample all the flavors that they created. I recommend this place as a fun date night. read more

Superb wine and excellent customer service! We love the fruit wines, but Bocca Black (blackberry) takes the cake. The ice style dessert Riesling is also excellent. We picked up a few others, as well. We enjoyed the experience of tasting so many wines before purchasing! read more

Just visiting the area and happened to pass by, my girlfriend is also a fellow Buffalonian and we absolutely loved the couple who runs the place. Great wine, especially for sweet wines that I love, but the truffle wine was absolutely to die for. Would recommend to anyone who's in the area, and will definitely be returning again. All the wines are unique and every label reflects the wine, truly a great experience. read more

Loved it here and I will totally be back soon! I went on a wine tasting Saturday with my girlfriend and it was our 3rd vineyard of the day. It was definitely the best one we went too! I loved the variety and I loved that they had normal grapes. The other vineyards had muscadine grapes and they were all to sweet, sugary for me. When we drove up to the winery we were a little thrown off because of their location but once we saw the wine menu we were happy! They buy their grapes from all over the world and that allows them to have many types of wine. I tried 6, well really 7. I got the Malbec and I did not like it at all, but the lady let me try a different red wine and I liked that one a lot more. It really enhanced my experience. We will definitely be back soon to try more wines and I will definitely bring my family next time they are in town! Try the Piña Colada wine!! Tastes just like the drink... read more

Love the atmosphere and they have great wine for everyone. The sweet ones aren't overly sweet and all the reds we have gotten have been amazing. I live out of town, so whenever we are back this way we stock back up. read more

Wonderful experience and excellent wine! This was our first visit and we will certainly be back when we are in town. Attended a private event at the space, they did an amazing laying out a tasting menu and offering a variety of options. They also make custom labels for their bottles that make a fantastic gift it memento. Highlight wines include: Moose Be Good, Luna Bianca (we bought a case for our wedding), Petite Shiraz, and Coffee Port for dessert. read more

Unfortunately my first exposure to Noni Bacca was the 5 star reviews, which excited me (especially the boasting of it being the best winery in Wilmington). Already going in with high expectations I was disappointed at the outcome of my visit. Let me first say the couple who own/run it and the tasting experience were enjoyable. Pour sizes were good and I was excited to see such a large selection. If I were to just rate it off of the experience and hospitality it would be a 4. However the cause for the 2 star review is the wine itself. I tend to be a dry drinker and stuck to those for my tasting. I found all of the wines I tasted to be a similar profile with very little body. The nose of the wines also seemed a bit off. I hate that the wine didn't live up to the rest of the experience but I still appreciate the hospitality of the owners. read more

I was excited to try such a highly rated winery in Wilmington, but sadly, Noni Bacca disappointed in the one category that really matters--the wine. Owned and operated by a great couple, the people are fantastic. the menu is extensive (though the grapes are brought in from all over the world). The tastings are fairly priced and the pour sizes are...generous. Unfortunately, none of the wines really hit the spot (I'm speaking of the more traditional offerings, as I did not try any of the fruitier, sweeter ones). Many of the wines, such as malbec or zinfandel, bore little resemblance to their namesakes from other regions (or even from NC wine country). They do offer several neat port-style wines, but even those couldn't save the experience. read more

OMG.... If you're looking for great wine and great conversation.. this is the place for you!! Can't wait to come back again! Toni is so real and fun!!! read more

I had the privilege of going here. Honestly i am not a huge wine drinker but went here because i was in town and the other reviews were all great. That wine is the best, but be careful, don't drink it too fast because it's good. read more

Great visit and conversation with Toni and the others around the bar sampling wine! Very friendly environment and awesome wine!

What makes this place amazing is that the woman who took care of us was super fantastic - friendly and even let me cork my own bottle. We were actually tasting wine before noon - who does that - visitors do that! The pricing seemed great and the store had some really nice "other" items that will make for the perfect Christmas gift as well. Will gladly return next time we are back in town! read more

This is not a review of the quality of the product of Noni Bacca Winery, but rather a review of the behavior of management. My daughter needed to use the restroom and my wife was granted permission to use said restroom after shopping around the winery. After using the restroom and thanking the staff they left and went next door. The OWNER, left the winery, followed them into the thrift shop where my wife, 4 year old daughter, and mother-in-law were shopping and persisted to scold my wife for "breaking their toilet". After talking to the owner about this issue and explaining to her how upset she made my daughter (because my daughter explained to me what happened) she persisted to tell me she didn't care because this sort of thing happens all the time. Now, I am a U.S. Marine and I have a very clean household thanks to my wife. I find it very hard to believe that she "broke the toilet" and left without saying a word of it. Regardless of the situation the actions of the owner are absolutely unacceptable and could have and should have been handled with a lot more tact. read more

I was in Wilmington to celebrate my 40th Bday @ the beginning of August. My husband and I went for to a tasting. The wine is so good, the owners so welcoming. I strongly recommend going and spending time with a full tasting. We loved their symphony so much we are celebrating our anniversary with it back in UT. read more

Did the wine tasting. Owner was very personable. Bought quite a few bottles!!! Recommend to all wine lovers.

Such a good winery! They have a broad selection of wines to choose from, and they have two different tasting options. You could decided to purchase a glass or not. My boyfriend and I have been here twice. Both times, the staff was very friendly and helpful. They answered all of our questions about the wines, and gave us some history on some of the wines and the names. I really enjoyed the reds! So many of their wines have won awards, and I can see why! The atmosphere of Noni Bacca is great! When you walk in, they have a long bar on the left and then several smaller tables on the right and in the middle for people to sit and relax. Definitely try this place out! read more

What a wonderful place. There is no winery onsite it is a tasting room but it is so inviting and the owner Noni is such a great hostess. My sister and I went there for my birthday. Not only is there a great selection of wonderful wines, my favorite is the Petite Sirah, and we bought two. My sister enjoys the wine more than I do. Noni introduced me to the selection of Russian Beers they have. Excellent selection and excellent beer. When any family member or friends come to visit this is definitely a must stop for us. Noni had stories to tell about her family and she was just a wonderful person. A must do for anyone who enjoys wine and beer. They have a cheese, crackers and salami tray also. Thank you Noni for a wonderful birthday. Kim & Becky read more

Incredible experience. Ken was generous, and knowledgeable. Our group of 3 did a tasting and we were blown away by the variety of the wines. Highly recommended. If you're looking to wind down with some friends, or just interested in trying something new, do a tasting. You'll be hard pressed not to walk out with a bottle (or two). Cheers! read more

Absolutely loved Noni Bacca Winery! Was in town for a long weekend with friends and this winery was open so we checked it out, best decision! Thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting, brought home entirely too much wine (just kidding, no such thing as too much wine). because it's all so wonderful! Thoroughly enjoyed meeting the owner and his son, loved hearing their story and will make a trip there once again. Cannot give high enough recommendations! Wonderful wine selection, beautiful labels and great prices for the quality of wine. Excellent time! read more

We went here for a wine tasting for a friend's birthday, and it was perfect! Amazing wine. Comfortable atmosphere. Endless answers to random questions. A definite gem. read more

Our first time at the Nina Bacca Winery was a bar none experience! We have been to wineries in VA, CA, PA, and TX. And have gone to a few wine festivals. This tasting room had so many selections all made with great care and the medals to prove it. The best part was spending time with the owners Ken and Karla who are passionate about their craft. They gave us their full attention and learned so much. We even got a free viola concert from their son! Call them and ask about their special deals. It be worth your time! read more

Loved visiting this winery today for a little relaxation. I did a wine tasting and all 6 were delicious (many of which were award winning), but the best part was how knowledgable the owner was about not just his own wine but wine in general. Nice atmosphere, real nice pours, and will be returning. read more
