If you're not looking, you might just miss this gem located in the Historic Pearl. Tucked away near Local Coffee is High Street Wine Co. After taking a summer break to renovate its space, we got a sneak peak before the wine bar's grand opening last week.

Located at 302 Pearl Pkwy., Unit 104, this one-of-a-kind bar has been connecting with the San Antonio community through wine since 2016. Led by General Manager and Advanced with Court of Master Sommelier Austin Tabbone — who is one of six sommeliers in the city and the only one who works on the floor of a restaurant.

The establishment strives to connect the San Antonio community through education, genuine service, and making wine approachable.

But wait, there's more. Stay tuned for the addition of new food menu items including seasonal dips and seafood. As part of phase two, the outdoor patio will undergo renovations in the spring.
