The bar also carries 200 wines by the bottle. Expect everything from Champagne, lambrusco, chardonnay, and riesling to tempranillo, cabernet franc, and bold red blends here. Pair a bottle or glass of wine with sharable dishes, including wild mushroom flatbread, crab cakes, roasted cauliflower steak, and filet mignon. Vino Venue offers wine and cooking classes and features tasting events each month. Reservations encouraged." - Beth McKibben

Nice and cute small family owned business. I love new experiences so I went in to inquire about wine tastings and grab lunch. I ordered a pimento cheese sandwich and while waiting chatted with one of the owners. He was really nice and I could tell that he enjoyed mingling with patrons. My sandwich was good. My only critique is that the menu is a bit small. I would go back and consider doing a wine tasting with friends.

We did a cooking class here and it certainly did not disappoint. Our instructors were fantastic and the meal came out great. We cooked steak, squash and swiss chard gratin, salad, and chocolate pots de creme.

Cooking class was an awesome experience! Roll up your sleeves and join in the fun, creating a gourmet meal from scratch with the help of award winning chefs and great wine!

Nice restaurant, convenient location. I saw it one day during my trip to Kroger and had to try it. The Piquillo peppers, Vino Venue burger and cobbler were exquisite. Great chef. I did switch the shoestring fries for the steak fries tho.. They have lots of classes, could be nice for date night. Outdoor seating is nice too.

Great first experience at Vino Venue! To start, the wine selection is extremely thorough and totally comprehensive; I’m sure anyone could find something to enjoy. I’m not a big wine drinker myself but still enjoyed the selections available. The food was very good as well, we especially enjoyed some of the dessert selections. The service was top notch and the space is great for groups or small outings as well. Check this place out if you haven’t been!

What a fantastic place for a great evening with friends. We went there last Friday, participating in the "Tapas Cooking Class" and it was really a good experience. Our chef, Michelle (?), did a very good job, teaching us how to make 5 different, very delicious Taps! The recipes were well prepared and detailed and it is easy to cook these dishes at home. - Meatballs - Filled dates - Pan y tomate - Gambas - Spanish Tortilla The wines they served, together with our dishes, fitted quite well to our dinner, as well. All in all, it was a great experience! We will come back, and we will bring friends! :-)

These hours are incorrect. VV opens for lunch every day except Sunday at noon. The restaurant has tried to correct this many times and Google won't cooperate. Don't miss out because of Google. Lunch was fabulous!

We came here for a corporate event with wine tasting, heavy appetizers, and a dedicated wine connoisseur to help make recommendations. Wow, this place is trendy, with high tech wine dispensers operated by refillable cards. They can dispense a taste, half glass, or whole glass, ensuring you get to try everything you want! The people here really know what they are talking about and you will definitely go home with your favorite bottle.

My hub asked which of the pinot noirs our waiter preferred. She suggested the Belle Glos by Clark & Telephone 2022, he ordered a glass. When I tasted it, we ordered a bottle. It was stupendously delicious, probably the best pinot noir I've ever tasted and as thats one of my favorite varietals, that's saying something. This restaurant has a lovely spacious yet cozy interior, with a wine shop, wine school and a by-the-glass machine that allows you to get a taste (1 oz) or a glass of their finest wines by the bottle. I had experienced this marvel of a machine in Philly years ago and really loved having access to top wines by the glass or in a flight. Much fun, and discovered so many amazing wines this way. We ordered the Faux Poutine appetizer to share, he got the eponymous Vino Venue Burger as his entree and I got the Baby Kale & Roasted Pumpkin salad w cranberries, goat cheese and more. The Poutine blew me away. The meat was so tender and flavorful, the string potatoes so fresh, the gravy to die for, the cheese just right. Wow. Canada: take not The service was both warm and professional. This is our idea of a perfect evening out!

It's now on our regular rotation every two weeks since February. Both lunches and dinner Our favorites - everything Braised beef short ribs. Just falls off bone Faroe island salmon - it's best salmon (maybe better than Alaskan) Crab cakes Chicken schnitzel. (Son and daughter love it.) Daughter also loves steak frite Oh, the two "burgers" and all their soup are fantastic too ! Dark chocolate pot of cream dessert is very rich. Ahh I don't usually comment on wine, but when we do get wine, rob's suggestions right on. And can get from 1oz up to full bottle. Patric's classes fun and tasty. Try it !!

First off I want to say this review is only based on a cooking class not the restaurant. I hate writing bad reviews but I use Yelp a lot to help me so I want to help others make a decision based on my experience I had yesterday. My husband and I took the Pasta Sauce class for $55.00 each. It said we would learn to make 4 sauces and do so with a hands on experience. It ended up we only got to make one sauce (which we did not get to choose which one - basically who ever got there first got to cook that one). So we had marinara which we have cooked a hundred times and did not get to learn about any of the other three. The class says it is an hour and a half. It took each of us 20-25 minutes. All we did for our sauce was chop shallots and garlic and put everything in the pot. (Basically a child could do it.) We then tried each of the sauces with some noodles. The two cream ones had broken and were almost inedible. The class said we would also get homemade focaccia bread which was not there. I have taken many cooking classes and to say this one was the absolute worst is an understatement. The only saving grace was the wonderful group of ladies we cooked with and the wine we purchased separately.

At Vino Venue -- If you wine influenced food, cooking classes at the Atlanta Wine School (housed here), AMAZING burgers, and 3 wine dispensing machines (red, white and high end wine) then Vino Venue is the place! Located right off 285 and Chamblee Dunwoody Road is where you can drink, dine and discover! We sampled: The Vino Burger Crab cakes Duck Quesadillas Truffle Popcorn and my favorite "The Michael' (The Managing Partners late husband Michaels favorite was burrata, prosciutto, and arugula). Ironically my son Michaels and my favorite too! They offer many amazing cooking classes led by the great Chef! These would be fun to take as couples, girlfriends or as team building. They have 3 wine machines where you place a prepaid card in, choose your wine and one of 3 sizes and it will pour it for you. We loved sampling all the wine and then purchasing some to take home. They have indoor and outdoor seating. A friend even told me they have gingerbread house making classes for the kids near Christmas!

The staff was helpful. Food was good. We would like to return for the cooking classes.

We went again with friends and the steak frite was awesome Based on our previous experience we DID NOT take wine by the glass but bought the bottle which was reasonable. So our advice would be that, plane to get a bottle and try the steak frites lol

What a hidden gem in the heart of Dunwoody. You basically purchase a load-able card and you use that to dispense wine from all the bottles around. The price ranges from $2-$3 for a sample and then increases if you want a half glass or a full glass. This is the perfect place if you want to go wine tasting, perfect for date night or a girl's day out. My friend and I had a blast!

Faith C.

Yelp
Amazing OTP find! I always say that Atlanta needs more wine-focused places. It is in a Kroger plaza in Dunwoody so plenty of free parking. My friend and I came on a random weekday afternoon. They were not very busy and we had basically the whole place to ourselves. We sat outside since it was a nice day, which was just a few tables set up in the plaza in front of the shop. We loaded $25 onto a card and there was an offer for $5 credit with yelp check-in, so we had $30. I wanna say each tasting was $2-4 so we were able to taste quite a few, at least 4 or 5 wines each. The wines are separated by red or white and poured out of little machines, and they had a section for more premium wines. This would be a fun place for an outing with friends or a date night! They did have food, which we did not try but it smelled amazing!

Never heard of this place until I came for an event & man was I upset I haven't heard of it before. You can come here and eat and sample all types of wine (full glass for a low price) via self service machines! If you'd like to buy the bottle you can as well. They have plenty to eat and all the food I tried was delicious! If you don't like wine you can just eat here and you won't be disappointed. They have wine classes as well to take if you want to learn about wines & different pairings & even cooking classes. The service was excellent as well!

I took a Greek wine and food class last week and have to say I was disappointed. The event started late as they were having some technical difficulties, but the teacher was very knowledgeable, and we did taste seven wines, which would explain to us in great detail. My issue was with the an accurate description on the website. It said we may be served lamb meatballs, lemon chicken, and a charcuterie board. For $69 I would have liked to have at least some of that. All we received were two crackers ( yes, 2) with a piece of cheese the size of my thumbnail and 2 very tiny pieces of spanakopita with the first tasting of wine. After that there was nothing. But the teacher did make it a point to tell us how great all these wines would be with different foods. It would've been nice to get to try at least one or two other things The meet up group I was with they needed to go find someplace to have dinner after this was all over at 9:30 at night. Well, I was not expecting dinner little lamb, meatballs, and a piece of lemon chicken would've gone a long way

Quality selection of interesting wines, friendly staff, and very good food. This place is a great option for a family dinner, a quick drink, or a date. You can drink some really good high end wines by the glass that you normally wouldn't find in a restaurant/bar setting. I haven't tried any of the cooking / wine classes but those are probably very fun, and it seems like an excellent place for a private party.

Even though I live so close to Vino Venue, I don't come here nearly as often as I should. I'm not a huge wine connoisseur but I do enjoy sipping on a glass or two with food or at a girls night in or out. I more recently got a chance to check out the Tapas Tuesday menu at Vino Venue and was pleasantly surprised by the $5 glasses of wine (Tempranillo & Rosé) and I really enjoyed the Gambas Al Ajillo (garlic shrimp). The shrimp were succulent and the flavors were outstanding. We also decided to try some items from the regular menu - the filet mignon and the Maryland crab cake. Both were pretty good, although nothing mind blowing. However, it was a hearty meal and I wasn't mad at all, especially for the price. I'm mad that I'm not here at least once a week - I'm going to start adding it to my happy hour/dinner rotation near home for a nice night out or a chill drink and snack.

My first time dining here at this cute establishment. You can order half and full glasses of wine off the menu or you can add your credit card and pour your own wine from multiple taps. This is great for a girls night out.

We live in Marietta, but are familiar with Chamblee Dunwoody, because we used to work in that area. I saw a story about this restaurant on the local Fox 5 news about the Wagyu Burger special they have on certain days and it looked delicious. I signed up for their email newsletter. They sent me an email that on today they had the special. We drove over there as soon as I could make reservations. We got there about 30 minutes early, but they were able to seat us. Oh, how delicious it was. Cooked to perfection, big and meaty with all of the fixings...lettuce, tomato, red onions, pickles and a delicious dressing. Our waiter treated us with such kindness, like we were regular customers. I loved the ambience of the place. Very happy customers.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent wine. In and outdoor options. The ambiance was amazing and makes for both a romantic setting or one can relax at the bar.

After taking a wine class which was very enjoyable, I was very disappointed after dinning at this place. I was wondering why the restaurant was a bit empty for a Saturday night. The waiter assigned to our table was not friendly at all. Knew next to nothing about paring wines and hid in the corner of the bar, never asked to refill our water glasses, never checked back after the meal was served and we had to wait forever to get our check. For what you pay for a meal you would think they would train the wait staff to understand customer service and a welcoming attitude might make one feel they are getting their money's worth. This place could improve 1000 % should they decide to create the same atmosphere as their wine classes. Sad to say but I wont be back.

Hubs and I attended a cooking class here this weekend - Global Cooking & Wine Pairing Series: Brunch in Burgundy. The cost was $74.99 per person. There was a small cheese and cracker station set-up for consumption before/during cooking. Otherwise, there were 3 tastings of wine served with the meal - a portion of each dish. There was no wine included during the prep/cook time so hubs and I purchased a glass. We tried to purchase a bottle of wine - but became discouraged by the $20 service charge that would be added. I found it odd to not allow us to drink a bottle of wine we were purchasing without incurring an extra charge, especially considering we were participating in an event which did not include it until 2 hours later. It was very strange to me. The menu for the event was the following: Burgundian Gougeres Croque Monsieur Quiche Lorraine Dessert Crepes The event consisted of 4 groups. I wrongfully assumed we would each be making everything somehow - or at least just our own food. This ended up being more like a pot luck. We were only making one of the dishes as were the other groups. And then we would all eat everything at the end. Hubs and I made the Quiche Lorraine. We were instructed to skip through much of the dough instructions due to time constraints. We ended up with a quiche with a raw dough because of timing issues. The chef also seemed to do a lot more for us than we would have liked. Understandably he was responsible for 4 groups so was likely trying to be efficient, but we would have liked to do more of the dough rolling and folding ourselves. The chef ended up doing 1 out of the 2 quiches we were doing. Most of my afternoon was standing around watching everyone else do things. There was a group next to us that needed to make a sauce and they needed a lot more assistance because it ended up like mashed potatoes instead of a gravy consistency. Perhaps asking if the guests understand the portion of the recipe before doing it for them would be good practice. My husband does a lot of baking at home and was looking forward to transferring the dough and forming it into the pan. The timing of the meal was also off which resulted in 3 cold items - all of which were supposed to be hot - and one hot quiche with an uncooked dough. I didn't eat much and ended up leaving hungry. I asked to take a slice of quiche home (as there were about 4 slices left over) and I was told it was not allowed. The reason was "because you might leave it in the car for 4 hours and then eat it. Sorry." Again - very strange to me but okay. I did not even care to press further. Other people wrapped up food in their napkins and shoved it in their purses - so I guess they knew we couldn't take any. The wine portion was great and really informative. The gentlemen was also around during the prep portion and was very friendly. The tastes of wine were generously poured. I really wish though we were offered at least a glass during the prep portion which was long - it really should have been included with a $150 brunch for 2. Overall, we had a nice afternoon, but neither of us were really blown away. Do not get me wrong, it makes for a neat outing, just do not have super high expectations for the food you will end up eating because of how this is structured. We will likely return for another class or event in the future, but will try some other places for cooking outings next.

Enjoyed a cute after work moment here. Vino Venue is located in a shopping plaza anchored by Kroger. Parking is right outside. The restaurant serves as a place for meals, wine shopping, and event space. They have different specials on food and drinks everyday. We had great service and enjoyed the stuffed peppers and Brussels. Yum! We made a ressie for the patio. My only complaint is that for a wine space they don't do flights etc and Tastes and glasses are pricey for the location and chill atmosphere. 2oz pours are $5-6 and glasses started around $12. The wine was good but nothing out of this world.

I had beef braised beef short rib. The beef was meat from a cow and it was delectable but the sides were lacking but i love meat. There was corn popped and it had truffles on it. I thought the truffles were garlic originally but they were truffles just maybe too truffley or to many truffles. Also I ate with my family. a combination of all the above brings me to the verdict of 4 stars

Jenn S.

Yelp
Love the concept of having a prepaid card system to try a variety of wines in a large price range. Plus you get to choose if you just want a little taste or a bit more or a full glass of each choice of wine. Decor is modern, open yet warm. The servers all were super warm and accommodating too! Executive chef Patric Good is the mastermind behind the menu here and I'm really thoroughly impressed with the selections on the menu. We ordered several options from the first course selections, all outstanding but I truly wanted to lick clean the pimento cheese jar, it was that good and then some. Their signature burger was spot on, seasoned well and flavors melded perfectly and their jerk chicken was juicy and packed a great punch. Really looking forward to our next visit here when we're back in town!

Vino Venue is the perfect wine bar and restaurant for a girls lunch or even to host an event. I've been coming here for years and it doesn't disappoint. They offer a full restaurant (no alcohol), wine from self serve machines, and cooking classes. My favorite is the wine from the self serve machines. You purchase a card and can load any dollar amount. Then you can decide how many oz of wine you'd like! It's fun! It's located inside of the Georgetown shopping center with plenty of parking out front.

Vino venue is a fun and cozy spot to go with friends and try some new wines and have a good dinner. It's also a great spot for a date. They have wine stations that allow you to get a taste of a wine for a reduced price so you can try it to see if you like it. The burgers here are delicious and very juicy! They have shoestring fries so eat then quickly so they don't get cold. And they also have wine classes and cooking classes you can take here. The have the wine school of Atlanta. I haven't taken a class from them yet but they look very interesting and sell out quickly. Oh yeah, and if you love wine, they have a wine club you can join!

As I was shopping I notice that Vino Venue was just opening and I was excited to be the first customer! This restaurant is normally packed. My family had a great time. The food was delicious as I expected with a superb selection of wine! Excellent customer service and the restaurant reminded me of my stay in Europe! We are going to make this place one of our favorite spots!!

originally came to Vino venue for the "ATL winetasting with black girl winetasting". Unfortunately that did not happen but Charlet and Kelly with other staff made us feel so comfortable that the lack of communication and reservation mishap for the ATL black girl wine tasting was not a bust. I recommend vino venue to anyone wanting a great selection of fine wines or just a night out with friends and/or family. My sister ( Owner of Fries above the rest cafe) & I enjoyed the great suggestions of wine and (Poutine Fries) along with the ambiance and great atmosphere. Try the truffled pop-Corn!! Thank You Ladies & Gentlemen,.!

I enjoyed having the option to taste various wines. They offer a prepaid, machine dispensed wine tasting option. Sweet wines are not included in the selections but they have 4 stations that in include dry red and whites. The food menu was limited but everything was served hot and came out very quickly. I'd definitely visit again.

Came back today since hubby and I had the day off and needed a place to hang out while the maid cleans the house for the next four hours. They have fast free wifi and comfy sofas. We arrived at 2pm which is a limited menu but still includes a decent selection. The full menu is available at 5pm. We recharged our card with the handy Yelp offer of $15 for $20 of value. I already had a nice chunk of money loaded from my past visit so it was a great deal to add more value to my Enomatic card. Mark and I used the card to sample the latest collection that the owner has loaded into the enomatic machines. The current variety of wine is awesome. After sampling eight different wines we decided to purchase two bottles of Numanthia red wine from Spain. We also ordered the white bean hummus, a kale Caesar salad with grilled chicken and finally the burrata salad with roasted red and orange beets. Food and service were great. Amanda took care of us the entire four hours that we camped out. A really pleasant place to chill on a rainy day and work while enjoying good wine and food!! Update- 1-19-2018 Mark and I just had another awesome meal with great service! Chef Patric served Mark a five star burger that Mark considered one of the all time best of his life! I had the mushroom flatbread plus the fried ravioli. Mark also loved the iceberg wedge salad with the blue cheese dressing. We enjoyed the latest rotation of wines in the enomatic machines. We ended our dessert with the creamy caramel bread pudding with bourbon sauce. We also purchased two bottles of wine after sampling them. Our favorite wine of the evening was the red Musar from Lebanon and we purchased a bottle to enjoy at home. I enjoyed the Zolo from Spain with my flatbread. A great date night place!!!

Great spot to host your next event! Came here for a company holiday party and hope that there will be more parties hosted here to attend in the future! I really liked the atmosphere- its casual but also nice, nothing too fancy, but rather an open concept. The service was superb, as they transformed the space to have seperate smaller eine refill stations aside from the main bar area. There was also an open faced kitchen where fresh horsedevours were being plated and served for the taking. Plenty of space to mingle- sit or stand- and it never felt crowded despite having an entire office & significant others attend. The charcuterie board exceeded my expectations for a venue hosting the masses, along with the other horsedevours being served around by the waiters. Had a great time in this space! Conveniently located on the perimeter!

Solid five stars for customer service! Food this time around was much better than the entree I got last time. I like that there were three distinct menu options. My friend ordered the Barcelona theme and I ordered the Parisian theme. The vegetarian theme looked good, too. I have not developed a taste for wine but my friend was excited to try all of her pairings as well as mine. I took a sip of my dessert wine and it was good and interesting. The portions are small and we were both still hungry after.

Delicious food; great place to try new wines; excellent, knowledgeable servers. A bit chilly near front window on a winter evening.

Vino Venue is a complete wine and culinary experience so depending on what you're looking for, you have options at this restaurant. My group did more of a wine tasting event yesterday so we focused more on the wine and hors doeurves. They have a wide area of premium red and white wines. There are over 50 wines available by the glass. We all had a $25 pre-paid cards that we used on the wine tasting sprouts. You can add more money on your card. You can just get a taste or get a full glass. Prices vary depending on the wine of course. I love red so I was in heaven tasting a few assortments that they offer. I love how you can taste the wine prior to investing in the bottle. The food was tasty. We had a cheese tray, salad, hamburgers and veggie pizza. The mini cupcake they made for our group had a red velvet and brownie consistency which was heavenly; it wasn't too sweet. The dallop of marscopone made it spectacular. We had a room for our group and they did a nice set up for us. The service is excellent. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful presentation and a nice ambiance throughout the restaurant. They also offer a full dining experience and cooking classes. They provide chef demonstrations and also trips to Napa, Sonoma and internationally. If you love wine or want to discover wine, you must visit Vino Venue.

Vino Venue is the home of the Atlanta Wine School. While wine is the business' main focus, there's also a restaurant, cooking school, and private event space. The business opened in October 2012, hidden in a corner of the Georgetown Shopping Center (Kroger) just outside the perimeter, right off I-285 exit 30 (Chamblee Dunwoody Road). If you love wine, you'll probably like this place. They offer over 200 wines by the bottle which, to me, is an overwhelming amount. You can sign up for a membership into their wine club to get first dibs on new wine selections, special pricing, discounts, free tastings and more. There's a wine bar, wine classes, a retail store, and Enomatic machines if you want to sample or try wines in smaller and more affordable servings. I think the Enomatic machines are really neat. There are three of them, one outfitted with white wines, one with reds, and one with premium wines. If you're not familiar with Enomatic machines, they are automatic wine dispensing machines that allow you to pour 1-oz, 2.5-oz, and 5-oz servings of wine into a glass while preserving (not allowing any oxygen into) the remaining wine inside the bottle and keeping it at the appropriate temperature. Vino Venue's Enomatic machines serve 8 wines each (32 wines on the Enomatic machines total). Anyone can sign up for a Vino Venue card and load it with money. This can only be done in-store. You can't load a card online. You insert your chip-read card into the Enomatic machine and select the wine and serving size you want. Prices vary by wine, of course, but to give you an idea, I tried a 1-oz serving of Cooper & Thief's red wine blend (aged for 3 months in bourbon whiskey barrels) for $2.40. A 2.5-oz serving was $6 and 5.0 oz was $12. I think a 750 ml (about 25 oz) bottle costs about $30 plus tax, so you are paying a small premium for the convenience of the individual servings, but you don't have to commit to a whole bottle. This is a great way to sample and try several different wines. Food-wise, Vino Venue serves French and New American cuisine. For example, they offer items like truffle mac and cheese ($11), duck confit flatbread ($12), coq au vin ($16), and ratatouille ($11). Appetizers and shareable plates typically range in price from $8-16 and entrees $10-20+ each. They offer cheese and charcuterie too. The Executive Chef is Patric Good who's previously worked at restaurants such as Chicken and the Egg (Marietta) and Max's Wine Dive (Midtown). Cooking classes run the gamut from French and European cuisine to Southern food to even sushi rolling. Chef Melissa Pelkey Haas is the lead event chef and she teaches many of the classes. The classes run about $80 per class (some more, some less) and include multi-course meals with wine pairings. Vino Venue has a nice classroom with a demonstration kitchen. I attended the Discover France event this past Sunday, September 24, 2017 (http://vinovenue.com/shop/Discover-France.html). This was a 2.5-hour food and wine tasting event with a smorgasbord of French food and unlimited tastings of over 70 different types of wine. Tickets were $79 per person. It was a well-attended event; I think perhaps a sellout. All hands were on deck for this event. Chef Patric, chef Melissa, and the rest of the crew were on-hand to make sure everyone had a good time. Food included: * Duck rilletes * Vichyssoise soup * Salmon mousse * Chicken liver pate Cheese: * Fleur Vert (goat) * Fourme d'Ambert (cow) * Comte (cow) * Brillat Savarin (cow) * Oussau-Iraty (sheep) * Mimolette (cow) Charcuterie: * Duck mousse * Pate de Campagne (pork) * Saucisson (pork) * Quiche Lorraine * Pissaladierre (French anchovy flatbread) * Gougeres Dessert: * Raspberry mousse * Croissants * Chocolate croissants * Pot de creme (dark chocolate) There was also rare steak being sliced and served (with mustard and horseradish), but I missed out. It seemed to disappear within the first 30-45 minutes of the event. In general, I enjoyed the food. Aside from the imported cheeses, just about everything else was made in-house. My favorites were the Vichyssoise (leek, onion, potato, cream soup), mousses and pates, the Quiche Lorraine, and the gougeres. The Vichyssoise was flavorful, the quiche was savory, and the gourgeres were soft, cheesy, and delectable. The cheese and charcuterie were served with a variety of crackers/biscuits along with a yummy Croatian fig spread (Dalmatia). Along with the Cooper & Thief red wine blend, I also sampled Lede de Labegorce Margaux and Domaine Bulliat Morgan "Nature" Gamay (2016). These were also red wines. I'm not a wine connoisseur, but I prefer reds and I thought these were delicious. Thank you to chef Melissa for recommending them to me. All of the staff I met were nice including partner/manager Rob Van Leer. Overall, I had a good time at the event. Along with the bar and dining room inside, Vino Venue also has covered outdoor seating with tables and cushioned patio furniture.

Vino Venue is a nice wine bar and restaurant venue in Atlanta, close to the Perimeter Mall area. I came here for a date night for wine and dessert. We enjoyed the assorted wine varieties, I had the Moscato d'asti and he had the Cabernet. The moscato was sweet and light and the lavender creme brûlée was absolutely delicious.

My wife and I went here one Saturday night for a small meal and to try some wine. We shared a charcuterie plate with a couple of cheeses as well. It was quite good. We sat at the bar where the bartender explained how the system worked. My wife and I were each able to try 3-4 different wines. The card system worked just like it was supposed to. Great way to try several wines but not get too much of anything. The restaurant was quiet, clean, and well lit. Service was good, great concept, decent snack! We will definitely be back.

Overall GREAT experience and highly recommend. Tasting experience and option very neat, but a tad on the pricey side. We tasted two whites and two reds prior purchasing a glass. Again nice to try wines prior to buying! The food surprised my fiancé and I both in a good way; minus we've also heard great reviews! The pictures they have on their website doesn't do them any justice. We had 3 apps: Michael's plate, Mussels and Piquillo (chicken filled) peppers. We are big dessert fans. So, they could use a little work here. The coconut bread pudding didn't have much flavor minus the caramel sauce and the sweet potato créme brûlée could have been whipped a little more and torched longer - but really enjoyed the sweet potato flavor! Service - AMAZING! Hunter (GM) was very accommodating and provided great hospitality and Vanessa was a great server! Obviously purchased wine bottles afterwards to take home!

We attended a seafood cooking class tonight and it was the worst cooking class we have ever attended. The chef didn't show up, the recipes were not correct, the host was not friendly and had no idea about the recipes. We paid $99. Per person and the food was terrible and the wine was not explained to the attendees. We would not recommend this place to anyone. Food. Was below average Service. Was slow Ambiance. Average at best

Let me start by saying this place caught me by surprise. Tucked away in the back corner of a Kroger parking lot/strip mall, it is very unassuming, but I'm glad I was in the know :) The decor is beautiful and the space is very well laid out. The staff was friendly and there was a good selection of wine. They also do organized wine tastings and cooking events which are great for a date night or girls night out. Job well done Vino Venue!

The only reason it wasn't 5 was because my salmon I ordered was undercooked in the center. Other than that, great experience. Good wait staff and a nice selection of wine
