Natural wine bar with organic, biodynamic selections & snacks
"A venue focusing on natural wines, part of Charlotte's emerging market for biodynamic wine experiences." - Kayleigh Ruller
"Natural wine enthusiasts, this is the place. There’s a curated wine list, with fizzy pét-nats and chilled reds, that makes somewhat less popular wine styles and grape varietals more accessible. Here, the caviar is spooned on potato chips with a dollop of creme fraiche. The charcuterie is impressive too, with both local and imported cheese, spanning from funky to ripe to creamy, and sharp. And don’t forget to order the local-favorite Verdant Bread, which comes with a pat of butter and flaky salt." - Kayleigh Ruller
"Reservation-free Bar a Vins is more of a well, bar, than a restaurant, but the snacks are a delight. It’s intimate and simple, relying on a trusty pared-back aesthetic and bottles and bottles of chilled reds to create a standout date or gal’s night, like a little aperitivo hour or a cozy nightcap. The servers here know their wine — a lot of which can’t be found elsewhere in town — so don’t be afraid to experiment and ask questions. There’s nothing rigid or old-world about Bar a Vins; it’s got ’90s hip-hop on aux and caviar on Lay’s chips to prove it." - Kayleigh Ruller
"A go-to spot for post-dinner drinks in Charlotte’s NoDa, frequently visited as part of a multi-stop evening out." - Eater Staff
"Nestled between storefronts on Charlotte’s walkable North Davidson strip, Bar à Vins’ hand-picked by-the-glass menu gifts visitors with some friendly, some experimental, yet all delightful natural wines, like a chilled red blend or stone-fruity skin-contact sauvignon blanc. The “fancy” caviar service — trout roe and creme fraiche dolloped on Lay’s chips — makes the casual sexy. Maybe it’s all of this, or maybe it’s the killer aux, but BAV serves up a modern drink and an unpretentious, yet impress-your-date vibe. Pro tip: BAV hosts some of the Charlotte region’s best sommelier and chef takeover pop-ups for a fun, dinner party vibe." - Kayleigh Ruller
