Wine bar with romantic patio, Croatian wines, & cheese
"Whether you’re meeting a blind date, your entire bird-watching club, or a coworker who’s always begging for an after-work Happy Hour, Dilworth Tasting Room is the place to go. The wine bar is located in a former industrial building from 1947, with red sofas and wooden bistro tables that look straight out of a Paris brasserie. The best place to sit is by the koi pond on the walled patio that always makes us feel like we’re in The Secret Garden, minus the pale Victorian child. Let the staff help you through the extensive wine list, which has the best selection of Croatian bottles in the city, while you share a build-your-own cheese or charcuterie board. If you’re having a surprisingly good time with your coworker, stick around and order a couple bigger plates, like the lamb meatballs or a flatbread with prosciutto, brie, and apricot jam." - Tess Allen
"String lights, plus wafts of breeze, plus wine, equals romance. It’s a mere fact. Dilworth Tasting Room in South End captures that exact formula on the secluded outdoor patio, with ambient sounds of the pond and occasional live jazz. Whether dining on the patio or in the bistro-vibe inside, this charming neighborhood institution, known for its classic wine list, spruces up the menu with crispy skin salmon and brie-stuffed dates with a prosciutto ribbon. Please note that the glorious portion of ripe cheese, pickles, sweet honey, and nutty bites on the mix-and-match charcuterie board is one created only in the realm of wildest dreams." - Kayleigh Ruller

"Housed in a former 1940s dry goods storage building–turned–billiards hall, Dilworth Tasting Room is one of the city's most picturesque atmospheres to sip a glass of wine. Inside the vibe is cosmopolitan and chic, but the ethereal back patio is a different world entirely with low-hanging trees and stone-lined paths. The wines are all selected by owner and sommelier Jaffer Kovic who has put together an impressive list by the bottle and the glass, including a number of Croatian selections that pay homage to his heritage." - Lauren Levine
A romantic garden patio with string lights and a koi pond pairs with a Mediterranean-leaning menu and thoughtful wines. Frequently recommended by Eater Carolinas and local publications, it’s a favorite for clinking glasses under the lanterns.
