"Mural City Cellars is a winery located at Frankford Avenue and Berks Streets in Philadelphia. Founded by Nicholas Ducos and Francesca Galarus, the winery offers a wide range of wines, including limited production and experimental bottles. They also host a wine club and monthly themed wine classes." - Esra Erol
"Outside of Mural City Cellars, red brick row houses replace rolling green vineyards. In the back of the converted auto body garage in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood, rosé and skin-contact Pinot Gris are aging in hulking steel tanks while up front, the bar buzzes with locals sipping glasses of plum-colored pét-nat and pale gold Sauvignon Blanc made with Pennsylvania grapes. Decorated with vintage leather couches and contemporary neon chandeliers, the city’s first independent urban winery feels cool but unstuffy, making wine that’s spirited but serious. It’s part of a new era for Philly wine. At the wine bar, you can pair your Mural City Cellars pour with a cheeseboard from nearby Perrystead Dairy." - Regan Stephens
"An urban winery offering varietals made from locally sourced grapes, known for its low-key surroundings and spare snack menu."
"After years of successful pop-ups and even an annual wine garden, Mural City Cellars officially opened its much-anticipated tasting room in Fishtown in March 2024. Its wine club membership operates on a quarterly basis with each release including three bottles of wine carefully curated by the owners and staff. As a bonus, members also receive a 10% discount on any purchase made in its bottle shop." - George Banks-Weston
"Fishtown’s Mural City Cellars is an urban winery with the unique goal of bringing affordable, local table wines to Philly. The winery sources grapes from within a 300-mile radius for minimal-intervention wines, from an uncomplicated CSW White featuring Maryland-grown vidal blanc to a bubbly pet-nat showing off New York riesling. The bottles also feature fantastic labels from regional artists. You can find them at Mural’s pop-up wine bar and bottle shop, which offers discounts on Mondays, ticketed classes, a wine club, and rotating chef residencies to keep the food pairings fresh."
