Craving a quality glass of vino sans the $500 plane ticket to Napa? Us too. Fortunately, Soda City is home to several wineries + wine bars where you can enjoy a fresh glass (and even take home a bottle). Check out these six local spots.

Lula Drake Wine Parlour | This charming downtown restaurant + wine bar was a 2024 James Beard award winner for Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program. We recommend splitting a bottle with friends over dinner or taking advantage of the late-night hours for a post-supper nightcap.

Hampton Street Vineyard | This premier destination for fine wine has been a Cola staple since 1995. HSV offers an extensive beverage menu as well as an expertly crafted menu of French cuisine.

Moltó Vino | If you've ever dreamt of a place with 24/7 wine service, you were musing about Moltó Vino. The semi-private bar for members + their friends offers 32 self-service wine taps, golf simulators, and a retail wine selection. With locations in Lexington and Forest Acres and one coming soon to State Street in West Columbia, you'll want to go ahead and grab a membership.

Palmetto Wine Sellers | This shop offers wines from across the globe, along with private tastings before you buy so you can fill your cellar and expand your collection.

Gervais & Vine | Head to this Mediterranean locale in Vista for its extensive wine list + fresh nightly specials. Pro tip: Make a reservation.

Vino Garage Wine and Beer | Eager to wow your friends with specialty wine and beer that they can't get anywhere else? Vino Garage is the place to go. The shop and bar have a rotating selection of 20 wines by the glass + any bottle on its shelves can be opened for a small corkage fee.

Vino Sabor | No opening date is set for the female-owned wine bar coming to the corner of Sumter and Lady streets. Design + renovation of the space is being done by SC-based architecture firm MOTA Design and a Columbia interior design company, Deck the Halls.

Travinia Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar | Coined as "a slice of Italy in Columbia," this eatery offers innovative takes on traditional Italian cuisine as well as various Italian wines. Bonus: Travinia also has a robust selection of martinis and other hand-crafted cocktails.
