This has easily become one of my favorite places to visit once a month. As a wife and mother, it's…read moreone of the few places where I truly get to step out of "mom mode," relax, and just enjoy the moment for myself. The atmosphere is always welcoming, especially on live music nights. The owner is incredibly friendly and makes it a point to personally connect with every guest, which makes the experience feel even more special and intimate. It is a smaller venue, so I highly recommend making reservations if you want guaranteed seating because once the live music starts, the place fills up FAST. But every single time I go, it's always a great experience. One thing I truly love most about this spot is how it naturally brings people together. I've met new friends just by sitting, chatting, and enjoying the music and wine. It's such a positive and inviting environment. If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by and showing support. And I absolutely have to add it's a Black-owned business, so let's continue supporting and pouring into businesses that create spaces like this for the community.

This is one of the places I wanted to check out since I love wine and charcuterie boards…read more I came by a few weeks ago, peeked in and left because there was nobody there. I went again last weekend with my boyfriend and our friend during the wine hopping event. This time it was busy. We were seated in the back room that felt like a conference room. I felt like I was excluded from the party because we didn't buy the tickets for the event. We were still paying customers. I did the wine tasting with 3 red wines and a personal charcuterie board. Bad time to come because we felt unwelcome. Limited to where we can sit. "It's reserved" Pros - lots of free parking - cute decor - good charcuterie board - waitress was nice Cons - I didn't like any of my wine - bad pour for the price - Boring I won't be back. There wasn't anything memorable.

Even the owner goes out of their way to be kind, personable, and welcoming. Their wines are amazing and delicious. Very high quality, and very reasonably priced. They regularly create new styles and batches, so definitely ask what's new when you visit. They also host fun special events that make the experience even better. One thing I really love is that you can bring in your own food. They do also offer charcuterie boards that are absolutely delicious, although they sometimes sell out because they're so popular. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and truly feels like home. Everyone here is genuinely friendly, which is rare to find these days. I always leave in a better mood than when I arrived. Highly recommend. p.s. Make sure your GPS gives you the right address. Occasionally, it will take you to the wrong location.

The owner, Dimaggio, truly elevates the experience. His knowledge and passion for wine come through in every conversation, and he takes the time to educate and guide you through different selections.

If you have friends or family visiting from out of town, this is definitely a place to bring them you'll impress them every time.

As a riverside native, I love the Backstreet patio and was excited to return in an evening setting. Husband and I did a short hike up Mt. rubidoux then enjoyed a romantic dinner at Devereaux House. We agreed it was one of the better date nights we have had in Riverside. We went on deftones and chess night. There was an excellent curated music playlist, chess boards everywhere, candle and string lights, and a really solid wine list. Ambiance was10/10. We tried the salad, meatballs, two pizzas, and an orange wine. Everything was 10/10. Service was insanely fast for how busy the place was (not an empty table in sight). The line to order appeared long but moved quick due to competent staff. Choosing a wine was a delight with a knowledgeable server happy to pour us tasters until we chose our bottle. If you're in Riverside, make this your next night out. It's worth getting out of the house for.

Kept seeing flyers for it I kept forgetting to go and I really didn't think that the wine would be very good. But what was actually incredibly surprising was the detail and the quality! I think the buy appointment only is it common but highly appreciated once you get there for sure! I ended up not getting the wine because I wanted to try the hard apple cider. I definitely had a little buzz going and it was only I think five or something maybe six different flavors very good size for a flight. Next time I'll come back for the wine because they are made there! Some of the grape grapes are shipped in and there is a local orchard. Just a very cool and surprising little spot. I was not expecting the hands-on aspect of the winery. I'm looking forward to going back! Special shout out to the staff for being accommodating, conversational, friendly, fast and efficient! Honestly it was a fantastic experience.

Absolutely horrendous customer service…read more Once we finished eating, we waited over 40 minutes for someone to even walk by our table so we could order dessert and get our check. I have no idea what happened to our server, but we were completely forgotten about. On top of that, the food took an extremely long time to come out, and when it finally arrived, it was very bland and underwhelming. The table next to us had ordered a brand-new charcuterie board and waited so long just to order their wine that they eventually left the restaurant without even touching the charcuterie board. Overall, both the food and the service were extremely disappointing. Waiting that long just to get someone's attention, receive our food, and eventually pay the bill is unacceptable. Definitely not an experience we'll be repeating.

My friend and I tried their orange and white wines. I can't remember their specific names, but they were both incredibly tasty. Is it pricey for a glass of wine? Depending on the occasion, I'd look for alternatives if you're looking for a more reasonably priced and efficient place. The employees were kind, and our wine choices were based on their recommendations (tailored to what we were looking for), which was greatly appreciated. Their parking lot is small, so on a busy day or night, one might have to resort to street parking. The inside is small as well, which might become overstimulating during peak times. Overall, I will likely be back.
