"Voodoo Vin is a natural wine bar in Virgil Village with a collection of 400 bottles and a menu of simple small plates. The candlelit space feels like you’re in a barebones café with only a couple of posters on the walls, two communal tables, and a few chairs scattered on the sidewalk. It’s an intimate spot that doesn’t take reservations, so your best bet is to take a few friends who know what “full-bodied” means and snack on a few of the Persian-leaning dishes, like shallot yogurt dip with sagnak and lamb-stuffed pepper." - brant cox, arden shore, sylvio martins
"Voodoo Vin is a natural wine bar in Virgil Village with a collection of 400 bottles and a menu of simple small plates that slightly upstages the generous pours. The candlelit space feels like you’re in a barebones café with only a couple of posters on the walls, two communal tables, and a few chairs scattered on the sidewalk. It’s an intimate spot that doesn’t take reservations, so your best bet is to take a few friends who know what “full-bodied” means and snack on a few of the Persian-leaning dishes, like shallot yogurt dip with sagnak and lamb-stuffed peppers. Voodoo Vin doesn’t take reservations, but finding a seat isn’t usually an issue. Consider it a reliable spot when you can’t be bothered to make a dinner reservation or go to the same Happy Hour the third week in a row." - Sylvio Martins
"With only a couple of posters on the walls, two communal tables, and a few chairs scattered on the sidewalk, Voodoo Vin feels like a no-name Parisian cafe that a local sent you to with the qualifier, “No one knows about this place—it’s great.” This quaint Virgil Village wine bar has an impressive collection of 400 bottles and a menu of simple small plates that are ideal for a snacky dinner with someone you met through a work event or a low-stakes date. Perhaps most importantly though, it’s only about a three-minute drive off the Vermont exit on the 101. " - Brant Cox, Sylvio Martins
"Chef Travis Hayden is leaving Voodoo Vin in Virgil Village after nearly two years. Hayden helped to remake the restaurant into its current buzzy wine bar iteration, and while he has not yet announced a follow-up project his dishes will continue to live on at the restaurant, at least for the time being." - Farley Elliott
"This charming natural wine bar has become a destination for his house-made charcuterie and pastas. Must-orders include Hayden’s pistachio-studded mortadella, fresh tagliatelle napped in ‘nduja Bolognese, and beef tartare done up with Caesar-style flavors. Of course, one would be remiss not to try a glass or two of wine from the Old World-leaning list, which offers a lot of rare finds." - Eater Staff
