Digress Wine

Welcoming, comfortable and delicious. Lovely quiet atmosphere for lunch, with plenty of shaded outdoor tables, and an indoor selection of lounges, tables and bar seating. Wine menu was good, with many more to choose from in their shop. Vegan menu options are the perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

Love the outdoor patio. Inside is nice but why waste a perfectly good 80° day with light wind? Wine down with some wine.

Great wine selection, friendly staff, and good music. Great combination for date night. Not too crowded but also people around to talk to.

I recently visited Digress and had an exceptional experience. Jenna Pearce, the General Manager, along with Kelsey, ensured that every aspect of my visit was memorable. Both Jenna and Kelsey are true people persons, making every guest feel welcome and valued from the moment they step in. Their wine knowledge is unparalleled, and they offer insightful recommendations tailored to individual preferences. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just starting your journey into the world of wines, you'll feel right at home here. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for both casual visits and special occasions. Digress is a gem, thanks to the dedication and expertise of Jenna and Kelsey. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a great selection of wines and outstanding service.

Phenomenal wine bar. One of the best in the country. Eclectic selection of world class producers. Nice artistic vibe, outdoor patio, lounge, bar, private room, events, food trucks. The most versatile you can get. Very impressed. Congratulations Rob on your beautiful creation. Hope to see you soon. Cheers and all the best. James

Stopped in for dinner and a drink before seeing a performance and left very impressed! As a craft beer lover, I was THRILLED with their selections, from Sours to Stouts, IPAs to Lagers, there was something for all the beer drinkers. Their wine selection is impressive to say the least, and chances as your server will be able to make the perfect recommendation.

Massive selection of wine, and the menu makes it easy to find what you want. The atmosphere was fine and the service was good.

One of the best wine spot in state! Outstanding selection and great recommendations!!!

All I can say is WOW! For my dollar is one of the best wine emporiums I've been to in Orlando! The wine selection is all that and all price ranges. This place is on a par with the wine bars I frequented in Chicago. Rare wines including Forge fruit upstate New York. The service is exceptional! Loved the ambiance. Not stuffy, but welcoming! Loved the live music! I will make Digress one of my favorite places!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Everything from the vibes to the service is always so good. I'm a member of their monthly wine club and I love coming on the first Tuesday of every month to taste the wines. The crowd is always so fun!

My girlfriends and I love to come to Digress for a glass of wine. They often have live music and great little bites. The hummus was incredible- very smooth and fresh. We love to sit in the back patio. The Portuguese green wine they offer is so refreshing and crisp during these hot Florida summers. They have a rotation of various food trucks sometimes as well- we usually try to check their Instagram to see if they have one beforehand.

I moved to the College Park area September of 2024, and some of my new neighbors told me how much they love Digress. So I went there after work one day and learned I could also buy bottles of wine for at home. So that's how my Digress experience started, and I really loved the vibe inside and thought about going on my own and then learned the husband of my dear friend owns Digress. She got a table for us and our other dear friend on a night when the chef Kevin Fonzo was there. What an incredible experience; I miss K every day (I drive past the restaurant daily) and getting to experience his food with such incredible wines made for the loveliest of evenings. The service is always excellent, whether I'm on my own or with the owner's wife. If you're on the fence about going, get off it and get up there.

Stopped by after hearing lots of great things. The inside is super cute! There is a retail wine shop and lots of seating options. The private wine tasting room in the back is beautiful! Servers were great- very knowledgeable and fun to chat with. Life music was just getting started as we left. Looking forward to coming back again and enjoy the atmosphere! Lots of events offer (there's a white board with them listed) each month!

Great chill place to have some wine and a quick bite if the food truck is open. Good for a date night to just have some relaxing time with your significant other.

Outstanding variety of wine to choose from at different price points. VERY knowledgeable staff, accommodating, great vibe inside,unpretentious.

Went on a Monday right when they opened at noon. Super nice and attentive service. Cute, cozy space. Had a delicious Bordeaux that we re-corked and brought back to our hotel. Would highly recommend for anyone staying in the area.

Wow - totally found a cool new wine bar! They have an interesting set up - you can get wine by the glass, or you can buy a bottle and pay a small upcharge as a corkage fee - definitely worth it. And they have some cool beers for those of us not into the wine scene, but wanting to socialize with our friends. They don't serve food, per se - what they have is the Duck & Drake food truck outside the front door that serves exceptional, (no, seriously) food. Great choices - great company. definitely coming back

My wife is immunocompromised so dining out is generally not an option. I saw that Digress offered a private cellar for dining and I contacted them to see if they'd allow just the two of us to dine there. I was contacted by Jenna, who was very accommodating and arranged for us to have the room on a Thursday. We could not have had a better time! It was so nice to be out and enjoying a wonderful meal and wines for each course! Jenna made the wine selections after we worked out a menu with Heberto from Duck & Drake and they were all outstanding wines and paired beautifully with the meal. Jenna was a wonderful host and Randy was a great server. Both wore masks to keep us safe, which we greatly appreciated! We had great conversations with Jenna about wine and the history of the place since the last time I had been there, under the previous owner. We will definitely be doing this again and cannot recommend this experience enough - you must give them a try!

We rarely have date nights and felt it would be appropriate to return to our old stomping grounds (bc - before the child). I became the wine shop customer in 2013, way before it became Digress Wine. The place then was dark, quiet and cold, just like a wine cellar, a bit uncomfortable to walk in, but had great wine selection. Then new ownership stepped in and with every visit the transformations started to take place: from updated interior to the wines brought from their numerous trips all over the world. Reading their newsletter is a special interaction for me: it is a skillfully crafted short story, full of imagery and passionate approach to wine as a cultural experience. Moving into 2023, after 4 years of active parenthood, we were amazed at how much love, effort, creativity, and positive energy was put into the place! I am not going to go into detail here, just want to say, the outdoor area was perfectly set up, with a touch of tropical garden, the lanterns and candles... and wine! Oh, the generous pour of rich and lucious wisdom! We thank the owners for beeing true wine enthusiasts, for creating the local place where my husband and I fall in love with each other every time!

Great staff, nice service, lots of fun wines, and a good vibe. I would like a bigger beer selection, but my Beloved Bride and I always enjoy the place!

Excellent wine bar! Kiddo "dragged" me to her fav place in College Park. I enjoyed meeting Rob, and wine-tender John. I had my usual Willamette Valley Pinot Nior while my daughter had her usual Sauv Blanc. Great atmosphere indoors and the patio. Super quality food truck "Duck & Drake" provided us with Wagyu sliders (raclette for the frommage) and risotto balls. There was a group tasting event in the private room behind the glass. I like that the host was pouring wine from an Erlenmeyer flask (and also proud that my kiddo knew it by name!) John topped the night with a sample of a Pinot Gris of which I learned of the skin contact adding a pinkish hue. Learn something new daily. I love it.

5 Stars for a bottle shop/wine bar that delivers on a cheers-like neighborhood ambiance, great recommendations, and special wines you wouldn't normally try. I was introduced to Digress to speak at a board meeting for an org, taking place in the Digress Cellar. This is a semi-private room with floor to ceiling glass allowing you sound privacy, while still feeling airy and not at all claustrophobic. Immediately, I was making plans in my head for a small, private birthday tasting event in the cellar... (The burden of being a born-event planner.) Rob Chase, the co-owner, came by to take my order and I was a bit vague-- "A full-bodied red, plz." I don't know a lot about wine, other than I love red wine and the more opaque and rich, the better. He came back with something that hit the mark for me. After the meeting, I sat at the bar and chatted with Rob and a regular patron. The laid-back, neighborhood vibe here is something that makes you want to protect it and get on first name basis with the owners and regulars. It really is special. Besides the Cellar and bar, there are tables to one side of the space, and wine shelves on the other. This is a retail seller of wines, to be clear. They've got really cool rare bottles as well as wonderful staples. And they're totally unpretentious if you need help choosing. There's also an outdoor patio that looks like it would be charming and perfect for a good fall/spring day or night. Overall, I'm a big fan. Though their hours aren't that of a typical bar at the moment, they're working on hiring and staying open later. For now, this is the kind of local joint that I want to support. Cool people, who are passionate about their products, and who happen to be lovely to be around too. Check!

Great service. Awesome crew I would highly recommend this place for a laid back date night or hangout.

Stopped in for a glass or two of wine yesterday and my wife and I really enjoyed it. Nice folks and nice selection of wine. It's also retail shop so grabbed a couple of bottles to take home.

Incredible spot for a glass of wine and gourmet eats from Duck and drake. Amazing service and food / wine selection

Super relaxing, friendly cozy outdoor area. Perfect for a quiet evening with friends or lovers. The staff and owner are always friendly and helpful. The duck food truck is out of this world delicious highly recommend secret, Jen, and College Park.

You wanna go where everybody knows your name. It is charming & relaxing. IMO, everything a wine bar should be. The advice is always spot on. Rob & his team are the greatest. Never pretentious, they teach you about wine & how to enjoy it. We are members of the wine club & have brought so many friends to Digress. It is a hidden gem. And the food! Don't even get me started on Duck & Drake That, my friends, will require a separate review Cheers!

This is a really great place for wine lovers and newbies alike. I'm not really knowledgeable about wine, so I appreciate any place that makes me feel welcomed and comfortable. The staff knows their stuff and can offer recommendations if you're like me. I took home a great red after telling them what kind of wine I normally go for. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a food truck, Duck & Drake stationed outside. I haven't tried the food yet, but I'm looking forward to it next time I'm there. You can also rent the cellar room for events, which I highly recommend. We had a great time and the service was fantastic.

I was invited to an College Park Jazzfest Influencer Kickoff Party at Digress. The staff was warm and friendly and serving up gorgeous wines. There was an awesome musician Michael Powell, that filled the room with music. There's a main room with a bar and hundreds of bottles of wine. It was a nice evening and I spent some time on the secluded patio. My favorite was the Cabernet Sauvignon, warm and deep flavor with a nice finish. I took home a bottle for $25. I recommend Digress for mellow evenings over a glass of wine.

I've given this place a very fair shot over the last ~3 years (not counting quarantine), as I live within walking distance. My dog & I sometimes make "pit stops" there during our walks to chill out in their beautifully renovated outdoor space with with a glass of wine for myself and water for him. Every time I go, the clientele is always super friendly and chatty; just about everyone loves my Boston terrier, and I've never been disappointed with the wine I select. However, I can't get past the off-putting vibe I get from the owner/manager. Every. Single. Time. I have gone in, someone is rushing to serve me, as if they want me to hurry up with my transaction and leave. As if I am not their desired clientele. As if they don't want this Black woman and her purebred dog in their establishment. It sickens me that I have to qualify this by mentioning that I always make sure I am reasonably well dressed when I go; I adhere to their mask mandate; and my dog is well-behaved. I thought maybe they had a problem with me bringing my dog inside the shop when I go to order my drink, since there is no table service; however, the last time I was there, there was a woman literally sitting at the bar with her puppy on her lap (she was very nice to me btw). Therefore, the only thing I can deduce is that I am not the right color to patronize their establishment, and somehow my College-Park home owning self is "bringing down" their demographic. I can't justify giving Digress anymore of my black green dollars, so pup & I will pit stop elsewhere. They really messed up and lost themselves a potential very good regular customer. And by posting this, I will help the owners keep up their goal by encouraging any POC to stay away!

This wine bar/shop is the cutest!! Came in on a Thursday for a glass of wine and the service was great! Inside gives off chill and easy vibes. There is also outdoor seating. Not too crowded but I feel as though this may change as summer really kicks in. There is a good truck located right outside where they have a bad selection of small bites. I placed an order for chili spiced fries (it took about 15-20minutes to prepare) and they will bring it inside to your table. Overall I was pleased with service, wine and food. Will be back to hang out after work or even on a weekend .

I absolutely love this place! It's super chill, and it's great for a date night. They aren't necessarily set up for humongous parties, but could accommodate 6-8 for a smaller group gathering. Shayne, Jenni, and Kolyn are amazing bartenders who will definitely help you find something that you love to drink. Come in with an idea and an adventurous palate, and you will not be disappointed!!!

great selection of wine and beer, super friendly and helpful staff, and a lovely atmosphere, particularly the outdoor patio. there's also a food truck on site, Duck & Drake, that has some awesome dishes.

Excellent atmosphere. Favorite casual date night spot in college park. Staff is helpful and friendly, wine selection is unique and fairly priced

This place was less busy on my first visit tonight than a lot of times I drive by, but there were about 3 couples hanging out at the bar. Everyone was very friendly. The craft beer selection appeared spot on with this delicious brewery called Edmund' Oast among others. What's an oast by the way? We had the Blackberry- Raspberry sour and the Leather Jacket porter. There was also a LOT of wine we didn't get to try yet. The owners seemed knowledgeable and friendly also and there were tasting options. All in all I'd recommend it; the vibe was cool and nice. There was a bit of a funny smell... the wine racks maybe? We need to come back soon to scope it out again and see if they can nudge up to 5 stars ;-)

My husband and I recently came here on a date night and have plans to return many times. We had a chance to chat with the owner who explained the amount of research that goes into the wine they offer. Its worth visiting this place to taste, sip and buy your wine bottles because you know you're going to get something good! For dinner, you can buy something from a food truck (smoke & donuts on Fridays), uber-eats something to the facility or you can run over to K-Restaurant to get something to-go. We ordered from K and sat on the porch. It was a quiet and peaceful dinner that was made even better by stellar wine selections. I was feeling light, sweet and refreshing white wine that day after my moonfish entree, so I enjoyed a Moscato from a small winery in Italy. They do have a wine club and members get 10% off bottles purchased in the shop- you can sign up on their website. Also if you are looking for a venue for a small private event, check out their beautiful cellar!

This is a cute, quaint and well staffed wine bar! They sell wine by the glass or bottle. There is also a small beers list there too. It has very local vibe, which is welcoming. The food truck that parks there, Duck & Drake, is phenomenal. I would 10/10 recommend this wine bar!

Wow. We came to this place to celebrate. The bar was empty. I thought wine bars we're supposed to be about learning. I ordered something, explained what I didn't like and was told they couldn't help me because they didn't know what I liked. We made it clear that we were there to enjoy. I was treated like they had no time. The bar was empty and miserable, so depressing and lonely. They will get no business from me. Super disappointed. I do not recommend.

This is exactly what I expected when I saw that there was a wine bar in my area, it's the perfect atmosphere, and the wine and food was amazing! Definitely coming here again and again.

Surely I'm not the only person who finds it a bit presumptuous of someone to leave a 1 star rating for a place they've never been. Digress' opening hours are well posted throughout the internet; just a few seconds of research can prevent potential disappointment, folks! As someone who has actually been to Digress on multiple occasions, I give it 5 stars. The vibe is casual, the seating area is spacious (and there's a lovely patio for sitting outdoors), the bottles are different than the ones you'd see in the chain stores, and the owners know their stuff and will work with your budget and taste to find you something good. And you really don't have to have any special wine knowledge to communicate what you're looking for. That said, if you are a next level wine drinker, they have a cellar area that's a treasure trove of bottles you've probably been dreaming of. Also, their ticketed tasting events are amazing opportunities for discovery and pleasure. They're conducted in an unpretentious way and there's always something for every tastebud. I would highly recommend Digress both as a store for stocking your own wine stash and as a place to hang out for a glass or two.
