Wine flights, cheese plates, and spirits in a rustic-chic cellar
"The Wine Cellar at the Rio first opened in 1997 and, in its heyday, the Wine Cellar stored a museum-like collection of rare vintages worth more than $2.2 million. It closed in 2020 and has just reopened with its Tuscany-inspired decor, the cave-like arches, plus new additions like charcuterie and even dinner provided by VooDoo Steak. And that’s not to mention the wine — with both everyday wines and ultra-expensive vintages on offer." - Janna Karel

"The not-so-secret Wine Cellar Tasting Room is again open at the Rio. The Tuscany-inspired room and cave-like space offers wine and spirit tastings with charcuterie plates and fancy cheeses like a French Brie, creamy Camembert, and Hook’s 12-year-aged cheddar. Sip everything from everyday wines to ultra-expensive vintages." - Janna Karel

"Housed in a Tuscany-inspired, cave-like room whose original stone was imported from Italy, the Wine Cellar is an immersive experience that first opened in 1997, closed during the pandemic in March 2020, and has quietly reopened to rapturous interest; in its heyday it stored a museum-like collection once described as worth more than $2.2 million, and the reopened cellar now showcases some 10,000 bottles valued at more than $10 million. Hung Nguyen, who has run the space for 17 years, developed extensive wine and spirit tasting menus (including whiskey, bourbon, tequila, and rum) paired with charcuterie plates and cheeses such as French Brie, creamy Camembert, and Hook’s 12-year-aged cheddar; he’s often happy to tailor tastings to a guest’s whims, the cellar hosts three-course wine dinners in partnership with VooDoo Steak and other Rio restaurants, and guests can purchase bottles or cases to be shipped home." - Ryan Slattery
