Wine & Rind

This was my first time. We had a great time. The igloo was warm and cozy on this cold snowy day. The wine was good, the food was delicious and everything the server recommended was top tier. Looking forward to returning soon. My sandwich was large I recommend two people splitting the dish. The pretzel bread was so soft and good.

Absolutely amazing and cute charm atmosphere. The Caprese salad as an appetizer and I got the Mahi served over risotto. I got the red blend wine as well recommended by our waitress. Sooo yummy.

What a wonderful place to stop in. So many things I wanted to order. We decided on the dessert board and a bottle of moscato. Both were delicious. Service was great! Can’t wait to come back and try more.

great cute place! our waiter was well versed on wine selections and the food options! can't wait to come back when the weather cools down to sit outside

The BEST food and experience!!! We came early and one of the igloo was available so the server allowed us to sit and dine in there for no extra charge! We had pesto turkey, caprese salad (off menu!) with peroni and rivera spritz for drinks. Everything was so delicious and igloo was a definitely a cherry on top for our Christmas trip 🎄❤️

Wine & Rind has a great selection of fine charcuterie meats and cheeses. Everything tastes wonderful. Most recently I ordered the traditional Italian board and the local Carmel board. The service was excellent. I made a truly last minute request for rather large boards to treat hospital staff following my son's delivery. The chef really went above and beyond to fill my request promptly and I am particularly grateful for that experience. In the past I've dined in their igloos and sampled the "coldest beer on the Monon." Just a great spot to have a glass and share a board with friends or family in downtown Carmel.

Worth a stop. You might just stay a while. I was walking back from downtown Carmel in the early afternoon and was feeling parched and a bit peckish. I decided to stop off at Wine & Rind for a moment’s respite. I got the 3 Floyd’s Munsterfest. It’s a very tasty octoberfest style beer. After sitting for a while enjoying the patio overlooking the Monon Trail watching the world pass by, I decided to get some sustenance. I ordered the Cuban. It was excellent! I can’t believe that a sandwich made my tastebuds dance like that. Fyi, bring a little cash. They don’t accept tips through their credit card processing system until, I think 4pm, or whenever they start serving dinner. Great little place to spend a moment or longer if you have time. They have Wi-Fi, unlike some other locations nearby, so pack up your laptop and enjoy the day.

Amazing atmosphere and great service. Prices are reasonable and the food is great. Would definitely recommend.

We went in the afternoon on Saturday. The weather was fantastic so we sat outside! Overall had a lovely time. We already had lunch so just shared a soft pretzel which was great. It was crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, nice and hot. The cheese sauce was ok, not a very strong cheese flavor. For wine I asked about dry whites and the server kindly brought 2 out for me to try! I ended up with a glass of the Grüner Veltliner which I enjoyed. My partner tried glasses of the Chianti and Montalcino. He preferred the richer taste of the Montalcino. Our server was delightful, I forgot her name unfortunately, but she was very attentive without being over bearing. Will definitely come again to give the charcuterie a try!

Came here mostly for the drinks and our group got the igloo seating outdoors. Enjoyed the rainstorm pinot noir and chronology red blend. Service was great and attentive. They also have a small choice of beer for those who The only major issue is the dirt road on the parking area is like driving on the moon or Indianapolis city streets as it is riddled with holes, and closing at 9 pm is really too early for a Sat night.

Every outdoor table has an umbrella and people-watching is abundant as it's right along the Monon Trail. Excellent A/C indoor tables for humid days. Enjoyed drinks, hummus board, panini sandwiches for husband & our guest and grilled chicken crostini for me. All super fresh & cooked or arranged to order. Super clean restrooms, great wine selection... especially liked my Riviera Spritz cocktail!

I recommend this place to people all the time! It's a perfect spot to hang out if you wanna sit for a couple hours and catch up over light snacks and lovely wine! The service team is wonderful. And they were super helpful to make minor changes to the menu to accommodate allergies! I know they have a dinner menu that we haven't tried, but I'm planning to come back soon to try it out !

I had been really excited to try Wine and Rind, especially since I love charcuterie, but unfortunately, I was incredibly disappointed by the entire experience and will not be returning. This visit was meant to celebrate a friend's birthday, and the day had been planned around her favorite things. The only positive I can say is that they did have a decent bottle of wine that we enjoyed. The real issue came when I went to order the charcuterie board and asked if it could be made without any meat due to a strong allergic reaction I have to pork products. I was rudely told that there were no substitutions, and when I asked if I could either a) pay extra to replace the meat with cheese, b) simply have the meat left off, or c) have the meat placed on a separate plate so it wouldn't touch the other food items, I was met with a firm "No. No substitutions." I was then told I could order a sandwich instead, which was not what we came for--we specifically came for a board to nibble on before our next activity, and never imagined that removing an ingredient would be such an issue. Since the meat was on the board, we couldn't eat all the food as some had been touched by the pork products. This made the whole eating process stressful, as we had to constantly monitor the board to ensure which food didn't come into contact with the meat. From the display case, it looked like the boards were made in-house, but based on the refusal to accommodate an allergy, I can only assume they are pre-made. I was highly disappointed in the way this was handled, especially considering there are no vegetarian or kosher (board) options for those with allergies or dietary preferences. Overall, it was not worth the visit, and I will not be returning.

Praises: everything was delicious. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the wine selection, and the outdoor patio was very inviting. We could have stayed and munched for hours. Suggestions: I would encourage opening up the large doors/windows on the dividing wall between the patio and the indoor dining to make the whole restaurant feel open air. The ambiance between the outdoor and indoor sections was very different with the patio being the clear favorite among patrons.

So we walk in as a party of 8 with no reservation at 4pm on a Sunday to celebrate the end of the 3rd decade of a dear friend. I refer to myself as "the fancy friend" in jest--most of the time. Today, we were ALL the fancy friends! The wine, the beautiful charcuterie board, the spritz, the multiple flavors of gumball head (I didn't know there was more than one flavor!)...it was a perfect way to celebrate as adults!

Very cute spot! They had a great wine list and nice snacks. We didn't stay for dinner, but the food looked amazing. Loved the warm pretzel. Service was good as well. Note that this is a small, romantic spot, so I would recommend a reservation if you're going at a potentially busy time, and the space isn't appropriate for larger groups. We were lucky that our group of four happened to get seated right away.

Igloos were a treat for the holidays! Convenient stop for trolley and walking to ice skating. Service was friendly. Appetizers were excellent! Lots of compliments on the different wines at table

Dare I say it.....this place is totes adorbs. This was such a fun little place to stop for happy hour drinks right along with Monon! The guys working here were very knowledgeable about all things wine and cheese and gave some fantastic recommendations while we visited. Our table split a bottle of wine (discounted that week!) and a bruschetta sampler. I could just sit on this patio all day long, sipping on some wine and people watching!

Great place with fantastic wine, food and service!!! I would highly recommend and would definitely visit again!

Ordered carry out charcuterie trays for my team. They were stunning and delicious. Made on time. Transportable. And everyone loved!

I loved this place! First time visiting and they have a super friendly staff and a cute outdoor patio. There is seating inside but if the weather is nice, enjoy their patio! You order at the counter and then get a number and they bring you out your food. Food was great! Everything paired well and I loved how in the Carmel board everything was locally sourced. My only knock is the prices. We got a bottle of wine to share and it was $50 and when we looked it up online, you could get the bottle at any local grocer for right around $17. I get having to mark prices up but that was a little steep. They don't have a ton of wine by the glass options so that's why we ended up with the bottle but they do cork it so you can take it home if you don't finish it. Overall nice spot and right off the Monon

This is a hidden gem on the Monon in Carmel! I rarely go to the north side, but I'm so glad I did for this wonderful restaurant. There's not a lot of places where you may simply get bites and drinks, and this was perfect! Great location, friendly staff and owner, and amazing food and selection of wine. The sauces we received with our fries were incredible, and the overall experience was great. Perfect for an afternoon snack, chatting with friends, and people watching!

So cute and so fun! I have had my eye on this place since it opened and just now got around to trying it. First, I would say, try to get here before 4pm, they have lunch boards that look so fun to try and are at lunch price. I also highly recommend the bruschetta sampler. It comes with 5 different bruschetta combinations - 3 savory and 2 sweet. They were delicious and so fun to try. We just want with a red blend wine and it was really delicious. I love their cute little patio right on the monon. The patio is surprisingly so relaxing - a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of sun king's lawn. Will definitely be back this summer!

I happened to be in the Carmel area for dinner, and I'm so glad our group decided to stop at Wine & Rind for an after dinner drink. The environment drew us in, and it didn't disappoint. It's conveniently located by the Monon Trail and next to many options for dining and entertainment. As soon as we walked inside, we were warmly welcomed by their employees. While we opted for one of the festive tables in the outdoor igloos, they also had a variety of other indoor and outdoor seating options. For those looking to enjoy an igloo during the winter season, they do take reservations so you will want to call in advance to reserve for a small fee. The wine list was fantastic and the owner provided great recommendations given our tastes and what we were looking to spend. They have a limited menu sold by the glass and a nice variety from various regions sold by the bottle. In addition to wine, they also have a few beer options, non-alcoholic beverages, and charcuterie. I had a wonderful time and look forward to returning to try more of their menu soon!

Love this place! They have gorgeous and delicious charcuterie boards and a seriously impressive wine list. I was in the mood for some frites, and I always love bubbly, so we ordered the Fizz & Frites (double order with a full bottle), but I was a little skeptical about whether the bubbly that was included would be worth the price. (The menu doesn't specify what the "bubbly" wine is.) It was a Cremant d'Alsace Rosé! Aside from serious Champagne, Cremant d'Alsace Rosé is my absolute favorite kind of bubbly! And yes, I know it's fairly obscure and specific, but that's why I was so incredibly pleasantly surprised! Kids are welcome; we came with my cheese & salami-loving daughter who enjoyed the root beer as much as we enjoyed the bubbly. We hunkered down in a cozy, heated igloo and had a great time and a very fun meal. We will most definitely be back!

What a hidden gem right in the heart of the Monon Trail in Downtown Carmel! The weather was gorgeous so we opted to sit outside and just loved to sit and watch all of the different people trekking by on the trail. We have been a few times for wine and always have to order the delicious baguette and dipping oil. We decided this time to stay for dinner and were not disappointed. Our server was very attentive and helpful recommending her favorite dishes to us. We ordered both of the flat breads and others in our party got the mushroom risotto and chicken spiedini, which were all delicious. We will return again and can't wait to try other menu items.

Great spot for a glass of wine, a bite to nibble on, and people watching on the patio!

I met a friend here on a Friday night around 5:30pm. We didn't have reservations, but we were sat immediately. This place is so cute! We ordered a couple glasses of wine and the Italian board - so good and the smaller size was the perfect amount of food for a light dinner. Everyone was very friendly. I will definitely be coming back, especially once it's warmer and the outdoor patio is open.

A new charcuterie and wine place that opened on the heart of midtown Carmel. It has tables inside as well as a large patio that looks over the monon. When you enter you have paper menus for both food and alcoholic drinks. You order and pay at the counter and they will bring your food to your table with a table marker. They have a variety of small bites and charcuterie boards that you can order and share with a group. They have plenty of sizes from small-event size. They ask for 48 hours notice on anything above large (large feds 4-6). I can already picture myself ordering a board for pickup after work to bring somewhere during the holidays! Tuesday through Friday 11am-3pm they do lunch boards which is what I tried. With 7 lunch options to choose from I think everyone can find something on the list they're looking for. The salami & asiago lunch board came with salami, bread, mustard, pickles and asiago cheese. It was plenty to fill my belly and send me on my way back to work. I can't speak to the wines since I stopped here on a lunch break but I can't wait to come back for a happy hour.

I loved this place. I've been eyeing it for a while. The food and wine were great. I'll definitely be back. My mom and I split the small Italian board. They put the crackers on a separate plate for my mom to avoid cross contamination since I have Celiac, which was much appreciated. It was all very delicious.

Did the igloo experience for my birthday, which was super fun! The charcuterie and food and drinks were all great. Had an awesome night!

This was my first time here. The Italian board was the most impressive charcuterie board I've ever seen, let alone ordered. The medium board was more than enough for two people, in terms of size. The service was fantastic as well; both of the folks we interacted with were very helpful and courteous. In terms of location, you won't find better ambiance than here. They are located in a prime spot, right on the Monon trail in Carmel, near the Sun King area. On the day we went, the weather was perfect, so we sat outside. I can't imagine a more pleasant experience than this.

Wow.... From the moment we opened the door until the moment we left, this was a great experience. BFF and I split - bottle of wine, pretzel, bruschetta sampler, and the pepperoni/sausage flatbread. Everything was AMAZING! The patio is great for people watching. The service was absolutely top notch! Can't wait to go back!

This is one of my favorite places in town, and I just recently found out a friend owns this spot. I already plan on coming back for my birthday as it was so cute and the food was outstanding. What a great concept and great service. Also, I love the ambience.

The igloo experience was so fun! My boyfriend and I had a great time but this would be excellent with a group too! I'd definitely recommend! Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful and friendly!

Came here with a girlfriend on a weekend afternoon. We loved the cute igloos and being right off the monon. The wines were definitely expensive and had limited ones available by the glass. Most were by the bottle only. They did have food options and would be interested to give it a try in the future. We saw a couple of signs advertising different events they host and they seems to be a better deal for your money then just their regular menu.

Had some snacks and drinks here New Years Eve in one of the igloos. The "Across the Pond" had a nice mix of meats and cheeses including "Red Dragon" with mustard seeds. Service was quick and friendly, staff are knowledgeable about the products, and didn't groan when we walked in 90 minutes before closing (we left 5 minutes before closing, promise!) The igloo warmed up quickly and was a nice experience on a cold and rainy day, enjoying the company of good friends. Was easy to wander across the street for tequila afterward, downtown Carmel is nice place to spend a few hours.

I walked by wine and rind so many times, and now I'm kicking myself for not coming earlier! I love the set up here. You order at the counter and find a seat (their patio is small bit lovely). You can also bring dogs - yay! I ordered a few appetizers and a bottle of wine and it brought out so quickly. The staff was incredibly friendly, they explained each wine with such depth... i was very impressed! You'll be blown away by their selections and kind staff. You definitely want to try it out

Really enjoyed everything. Highly recommend going for a relaxing, tasty experience. We sat outside in a dome. It was very cozy.

Food not good at all! Mahi prepared wrong twice. Wife couldn't eat all of it since most not cooked rt. Flatbread mediocre at best. Nice outside and drinks good but expensive. Service good.

My husband and I stopped in on a Saturday night after hearing recently about this place and being big wine lovers! It's small inside, but super cute. It wasn't too busy for a Saturday night and we were able to get a table. You order at the counter and they bring you the food and wine. We shared a bottle of Pinot Noir and their Spanish boards. The boards are on the pricey side, but it was big and filling. There are lots of different ones to choose from as well. They had igloos on the patio as well, but I'm not sure how much they are to rent. We will entirely stop back in and try another board and bottle another night!

The food was delicious and the service was great! Let us modify our original reservation with the igloo bc of the extremely cold temps. They were very kind and accommodating. Will be back

Don't sleep on this place! It's perfect to go to with friends for a relaxing experience! There is a super cute outdoor patio area! We enjoyed our board inside though. The staff was very helpful and the service was fast! You order at the counter and then they'll bring your order out to you. I was with 2 friends and we split the Italian board! We got the board in the medium size which was perfect for us! At the counter we were able to have the check split which made everything easier! Definitely will be going back!

We visited on a Saturday afternoon and were delighted to find a table open on the patio. We walked inside first to order at the counter and then brought our drinks outside. There is a wide selection of charcuterie as well as wines, champagne, and beer. The highlight of this place is its location. We loved sitting outside and people watching. Will definitely be back.

My husband and I love coming here. The charcuterie boards are delicious. I highly recommend the Spanish board. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Lisa has been our server several times. She is absolutely lovely. She remembers us and the wine we like. Couldn't ask for better service.

Great location on the Monon in Midtown Carmel. Look for the green and white awnings and have a seat on the cute patio complete with blankets and heaters and a bird's eye view of walkers and folks picking up their newly groomed dogs from the shop next door. We ordered a few "tidbits" which were a baguette with a delicious dipping sauce, some marinated olives and THE BEST frites/fries I ever tasted along with 3 dips. The frites came with a glass of bubbly which was odd but being my birthday, was great. There is a full menu of charcuterie boards arranged by countries of cheeses and meat and the wines as well. While there, we observed someone just coming in to buy a bottle of wine to go. Great place... check it out!!

Great food and service! Igloos were available on the patio to sit in. Will definitely be back.

This little spot is such a great addition along the Monon trail! They have a nice selection of cheeseboards and wine. The patio is really cute and in a great spot for people watching on the trail. Also, the have igloos set up on the patio in the winter!

Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff and solid food. Typically go for drinks and an app. Definitely a great place to hang out outside in the summer fall & spring

We love Wine & Rind. This restaurant is a little pricey but well worth it. The food boards are delicious, especially for people like me that like to graze while they are drinking. Wine selection is great. Love their brut rosé that is on the menu regularly. I recently went to one of their wine and food pairings. It was wonderful. They had a variety of food for meat, eaters and vegetarians alike. I enjoyed all the wines, even though I mostly drink red. The restaurant itself is very cute, especially in the summer where you can sit out front and enjoy people watching with a glass of wine.

Dog friendly establishment! Had live acoustic music which was fantastic for ambiance. Friendly staff, Katie loved our dog and brought her lots of snacks.

Great charcuterie boards and wine selection. Would definitely recommend for a night out

I highly recommend going to Wine & Rind. This is a fantastic stop for either a snack, meal, and/or a glass of beer/wine. But if it's noon & you are just plain hungry, know that their food alone is delicious (don't let the 'Wine..' in their name deter you.) I love how easy & comfortable Wine & Rind is ... just order at counter & take a seat. The staff is helpful and pleasant, and you can sit inside, outside overlooking the interesting Monon Trail, or better yet, in the winter you can sit outside in a clear plastic igloo, which we did last week. It was so fun, even more so than I expected. They had the igloo heated to 70 degrees, & we could vent it by unzipping two triangular windows. There were 6 chairs at a large round table, and it was so fun (we felt like kids in a fort). We ordered chili & soup (both came with toppings & bread), paninis, a lunch board (deconstructed sandwich), and a cheese board (Italian is what I always order). And a few italian beers. All food was beautiful and excellent in flavor & quality. The bowls & boards themselves were even beautiful and a joy to eat off of. Our group shared all of the food, trying each other's, & everyone was super happy during & after this unique & wonderful experience.

Great patio seating and the team was helpful picking wine pairings and the appetizers were fantastic - recommend the bread and oil!

The perfect location for patio wine! Thoughtful design of putting blankets on the chairs outside of chilly days. I can't wait to go back and try the charcuterie boards!

This place is super close to my office, just off the Monon and has a pretty expansive list of wines per sq. Ft. It's rather pricey, by the glass and bottle. More than Anthony's chop house just another block or two towards the center of town. There's an expectation to come up and order anything which makes it a lot like fast food that can cost $100 for two. They're also perpetuating that obnoxious tipping practice of having you do all the work during the experience, and then hovering while you answer the tipping question, before checking out. It used to be that you earned an amazing tip through amazing service. Seems like that feedback loop is gone. Great wine and great snacks though.

My husband and I stopped in and were so pleasantly surprised to find so many things we loved! The service and people that work here are fantastic and very helpful. Our Italian board was amazing and the outdoor seating right off the monon is fabulous. We will be back!
