Always good choices available and often good advice. One of just a few in the city with a solid wine list.

I came here for a champagne tasting and brunch event I saw on EventBrite. I must say to access the building, the parking is tight and parts of the building is tight, but it's definitely a cute cellar. We were greeted when we entered and were given some instructions but I must admit, I was a little lost. I was told there was some outside seating (all of the tables/chairs were taken inside) so since this was my first time visiting, I wish there were signs or maybe the hostess could have showed us specifically where to go because oops, I accidentally opened a door that appeared to be an office. Someone saw us and we probably looked lost to them and so they were nice enough to show us the outside area which had a singer who sung some Frank Sinatra songs. He was very talented and appealed to the audience. To our surprise, we saw behind us a table for the tastings. I asked the server for a champagne card so I could take notes and view the prices, but she said when we entered, we should have received one. So I went back to the front and asked the people at the door for the champagne card and they stated that they were printing them, and that they will hand them out a little later. Also I wondered about my brunch that was paid for separately and they said they will come and find me when it was ready. I am glad that we were able to find a table because now I am wondering if we couldn't, how would we have eaten our food. In my opinion, tables should have been reserved for customers who ordered food. Also I wasn't sure how they were keeping up with which customer showed up first because we weren't given a number or anything to show that we ordered food and what our number in line was. At first glance, they seemed unorganized. But as the time progressed they did eventually bring out the champagne cards and they apologized for the lateness of us receiving our food. As the event was coming to an end, one of the workers gave us info on future wine tastings and when they have a live band. All in all, we enjoyed the experience despite it seeming to be unorganized at times, but will definitely come back and visit soon. P.S. The champagne was great! Even bought a bottle. Also the brunch tray was delicious. Hats off to the chef! That whipped goat cheese with orange marmalade was amazing! read more

This shop is PHENOMINAL!!!!!! The owners are great, the employees are great, and they really help you learn your palette. Go to some of their tastings, good value for the price. read more

This is such a great hangout spot! It took me way to long to come here. Fridays are $20 tastings and live music. They had a charcuterie board out and their tastings are great! About 10 different wines. We didn't even make it through all of them. I highly recommend coming here! read more

We came here for the first time on Valentine's Day and absolutely loved it. The special for that night was a wine tasting which included wines from Argentina and food from Noble 116 catering. The event was booked and the restaurant was full. The seating was European style and we were seated with a friendly couple. Overall we loved the experience of trying the different wines - and ended up buying some before we left. We really enjoyed the compliant - and it sounded like everyone in the restaurant was also having a great time. We are really looking forward to checking out the brunch! read more

Awesome wine and food selection and very nice people, what's not to like? The color palate and font on the menus are awesome, appears to be a nice Sans Serif read more

The wine cellar is a cute little wine bar that is located off of whitesburg road in Huntsville. Parking for this location is in the back of the building, which is a red brick building right off the road. I was meeting a group of friends for their Friday Happy Hour special. On Fridays and Wednesday's The Wine Cellar has a fantastic and I mean fantastic happy hour deal! They do a 10 dollar tasting for 10 different wines. It is such a great deal. With the pours that they give it is well over 2 glasses of wine for 10 dollars. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is great here. I will say the servers this time around at the happy hour were NOT knowledgeable at all about the wine. Every time I went up to get a tasting pour I had to ask questions about the wine and engage them to give me more information. Then one of the individuals pulled out a piece of paper and started reading off of it! A little unprofessional, but nonetheless the deal, the wine and the friends is what made the such a good experience. I would highly recommend this place for their happy hour specials. Come early because it gets packed and their happy hour is only for 2 hours. They do a good mix of wines and it gives you an opportunity to try many wines. read more

You cannot ship alcohol from California to Alabama where our brother lives. We found a way around it and called the Wine Cellar who put together a beautiful wine basket. Our brother just has to pick it up because they are not allowed to deliver it. The gal on the phone was kindness itself. Now you know how to do it! read more

The wine cellar is a great place to unwine after work. The staff is very welcoming and does a great job suggesting varietals and brands that you might enjoy. Laura is awesome for recommendations, especially for da bubbles! read more

Co-owner I understand is named Jason told me "it's 5 time to buy something or move on". It was a hot day and I bought an expensive blackberry seltzer $5 a can, earlier say 3:45-4pm, then another patron offered me a sample of the wine he just bought. We, the other patron and I got to chatting and him refilling my glass. I believe the other patron said his mom used to work there and she'd open a btl and share it leading to great sales. I did tell Jason I'd find a btl out of kindness as the other patron was so generous with his wine as we were chatting. So now it looked like some tasting event was starting. Ok it's ticketed event I presume; correct approach is " Would you like to buy a tic for the event? Or can I help you find a btl to go?" Instead I get rude ass remake, we'll as a man of my word I did buy a btl, the last one I ever will from this shop. I'm told by a friend that patronizes the shop whom found the story very odd, Jason said I made 2 women feel uncomfortable, how by breathing? I don't even think I spoke to any woman there, let alone in a flirtatious, salacious, or threatening manner. Instead of an apology, I hear a BS excuse of a story. I'd strongly suggest you buy your wine somewhere else. read more

Great service, friendly owners, and good prices make for a nice place to buy and drink your favorite beverage!

The only reason this gem should not get five stars (even thought I'm giving it 5 stars) is accessibility. It's got a narrow driveway entrance at the *front* which is off Whitesburg Drive, and a decent sized parking lot in the back, which I think is accessed via Brandon Street. Wines for any budget. Knowledgeable staff who can get you in and out in 5 minutes, if you are in a rush. They always have wines open to taste and have a few cute wine themed gifts and accessories. Anytime I'm in the "medical district" I like to pop in here. I've never been to their wine tastings, but I'm sure they are fun. It is a little bungalow type home converted into a wine shop, so yeah, it's a tight squeeze. BTW, their La Marca prosecco is less expensive than the lowest sale price I've seen at Target. I think Wine Cellar offers it at 11.50. Now, go get yourself this great value and pop the cork for 2015! read more

During the covid-19 pandemic, they took all proper precautions! Very professional and very helpful! Really enjoyed the curbside delivery. Glad to support this local small business! read more

I Went to their first Bingo night and had a great time. They have a really great wine selection and charcuterie options to snack on. Definitely will go back and support this Wine Shoppe. read more

The Wine Cellar was the place to be last Friday night when we showed up for a tasting - wall to wall oenephiles packed the place. Super friendly staff who are even friendlier to the Army groups that come through. The tasting was pretty much tapped, so we bought a few bottles and tasted them on-site on the tasting table. I love the cute signage here, I love the staff, the size of the place, the easy parking, and the packed atmosphere. We were treated like family and Will came and met up with us for dinner later. Great local place to support - and they are supportive of the locals. I love to toast to great businesses like this! read more

Good selection of wines, friendly-but-not-pushy staff helps you when you have questions. There's a wall of cheaper wines that let you adventurous without burning a hole in your wallet. FYI there's wine tasting every Wed & Friday 5-7PM, you can try good number of wines, learn about them, mingle with others, and purchase the wines at a discounted price. read more

It's a cozy place with a good selection of wine. Prices are reasonable and the staff are always friendly. The regulars often hang out after wine tasting, sharing stories of latest happenings around town. The outdoor patio is especially nice in the evening this time of year (late Fall) to sip and relax. The patio sits on a busy street and car noises can be annoying...but with a nice glass of wine and good company, I think of it as a unique ambiance of the Wine Cellar. read more

Wonderful local wine shop and wine bar, with top notch service and very friendly staff! They have really fun and educational tastings every Wednesday and Friday. Had a great time with girlfriends on a recent Thursday night, perfect spot for a glass of wine before date night too! read more

This is the best nearly-hidden gem in Huntsville. Sure, the place isn't huge as other reviewers have noted, but it doesn't need to be. It rarely gets overcrowded and the guests seem to be all about quality over quantity. The wine selection is absolutely fantastic with a great variety of varietals (see what I did there) and price ranges. The staff is beyond friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and helpful. While I highly suggest you stop here for your purchases, I even more highly suggest you sign up for their emails and attend their weekly [reasonably priced, ample poured] tastings and events. read more

One of my favorite places! Cozy atmosphere, great selection of wines, fun weekly wine tastings and extremely knowledgeable staff! The Wine Cellar supports several nonprofit organizations in Huntsville/Madison County. Please support The Wine Cellar. read more

First time at The Cellar Door and loved it. Being from the Bay Area of California I certainly had a preconceived notion of what to expect. Well, Cellar Door rose far above my expectations. Great selections of wines from California and very knowledgeable staff. Kate was awesome. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a first rate bottle if wine in Huntsville. read more

It's a small and cozy little place. A bit too small for their wine tasting event. Has a good wine selection and accessories. The ladies there are super nice. They would order the ones that they don't carry in store for you. It's a cute place. read more

This is my all time favorite place to buy wine. Everyone is so helpful and make great recommendations. I've never been disappointed by anything I have purchased there. The gift baskets are special. read more

It's like "Cheers" but a wine store, homey and friendly. A wide variety of prices and lots of help (if you want it) Love the wine-tastings, an informal way of finding a wine you like without buying a whole bottle. And check out their "Bottle & Brush", enjoy a glass of wine while creating your own work of art. Really fun and EASY! But beware, it's addictive! read more

My favorite place to hang out with great friends! Nice selection of wines and wonderful place to have a glass. Good variety of tastings also. Owners are awesome!! read more

If you are new to town, this is a must see! A great store if you want to buy a bottle or stay and have a glass. The outdoor patio is a perfect setting for summer tastings. read more
