My favorite place to go in the University City area. Great service and staff, very homey + hip environment in an area where most of the bars are pretty cookie cutter and bland. People meet with friends here, college students study here -- the customers are very diverse and there are plenty of different of types of spaces inside and outside. Don't let the name get you -- they also have a great rotating selection of beers on tap. Live music is always fantastic!
Was visiting my daughter and son-in-law and they brought me here. The place was great the selections were the best and atmosphere was perfect. Loved the place
I've been enjoying this place since they opened, and there is nothing like sitting around a table outside listening to live music with friends. Great wine and beer selection plus its DOG FRIENDLY!!! Yay!
I discovered the Well's Banana Bread Beer here recently, and I must say I am Hooked!!! It blew my mind!!! It was a nice, cool place with a pleasant environment outside as well...thanks for the experience, will be visiting again in the future!!!
I like to think of this place as my McClaren’s (for any how I met your mother fans out there). It is a chill place to hang out, with great selections, wonderful people, and occasionally live music. Plus people sometimes bring their dogs and relax outside (if you like dogs and such) so that’s a plus 😊
Very nice place to chill and sit on the patio with a glass of great tasting wine on a cool but sunny day!
I love this spot...great wines, great atmosphere, great location, great staff, great vibes... I could go on and on. Wine tasting every Wednesday gets me through my week!
Such a wonderful place to relax, unwind and people watch in the university area. A great venue to catch up with a friend over a glass of wine, celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, or a Tuesday! If you come once, you'll be back again and again. I highly recommend!
This is my favorite wine spot. Wednesday wine tasting get me through the week
Been going here for over 10 years! Fun place to sit and sip some wine
Great place!!! Absolutely love the staff!!!! Great selection of wine and beer!!!!
Great atmosphere! Friendly staff! Fantastic beer and wine selection!
Best people watching, great selection of wine/ beer.. free live music!!
This is a kick ass shop run by people who care about what their customers drink. The world of wine needs more stores like this all over the fruited plains.

The Wine Vault is a hidden gem that I happened upon on a visit to Charlotte and I now make sure I go there every time I'm in town.

My boyfriend and I enjoy coming here for the variety of wines & beers and to listen to the live music. Always a relaxing time and staff is great!
Very nice and relaxing place to chill at.
You can even bring your pooch
Good selection of wines. We did a tasting and enjoyed. Also good bottle selection- prices varied so something for everyone. We went early on a Sunday afternoon so not many people there- this meant a nice quiet and chill atmosphere.
Fine Vibes with Fine Wines... at Wine Vault. Are you looking for a spritzy or sparkly evening filled with jazzy music and eclectic art? Then look no further this space is great for solo date nights, catching up on an assignment, or a simple fun gathering with friends. They offer a wide variety of wines at a variety of price ranges. The flavors are just as fun to explore as the space. If you enjoy outdoors a patio area opens up to feel the breeze and catch the scene. It's in the heart of the University City area... (Boardwalk). It may be busy with passersby but worth enjoying. Inclusive.... LGBT+ friendly. Cozy couches, intimate spaces and open to event rental. The clocks on the wall set a nice tone... feels endless in this space. The Art represents local artists and offers a nice balance like good wine.... Looking to return soon but even if not... this is a great space to enjoy wine and take a bottle to go.
Side note writers... this is your zen space.
Wine flight of 4 was great! I was with 2 of my Sisters, my Brother in Law & niece. We all had a great time!
I love this spot. Beer on tap or wine (glass or bottle). They have some small snacks in the cooler. Patio is lovely in warmer weather. Live music some evenings. They do a lot to support the LGBTQ community too.
This place deserves a six star review. It flawlessly integrates incredible craft beer (on tap!!), a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, incredible prices, and a sense of humility. And that's just if you're looking to have a beverage onsite. They have a huge collection of bottles and cans from all around the world for you to bring home and try. Unassuming yet extensive, this beer library is one of the best watering holes I've stumbled upon in all my global travels.
Was there for a UNC Charlotte Home Coming Week Celebration. Had a blast. I am not a wine drinker, but they offered me a good beer I enjoyed.
A great place to share conversation with friends over a bottle of wine or beer. Comfortable seating arrangements offer space for a group. More seats on the patio. Nice selection of wine. Owner and staff are helpful in beversge selection and in planning for a larger group. It is ok to bring food from another place. I have been enjoying this space for many years.
A friend and I stopped in right before close on a Tuesday a few weeks ago. The gentleman behind the counter was awesome! I purchased a beer from the wide selection at in the back cooler and had a relaxing drink. They even stayed open a little late! Will definitely come back if I am in the area again.
My bookclub and I LOVE this place. Great wine selection and yummy cheese selection. The staff is super nice and very patient. Also the seating areas are cozy, quiet and super comfy.
Very Classic Wine Store.
The lady in the reception was very helpful.
Great place to go and relax, enjoy some wine. Not fussy at all, welcoming and friendly
I had a great time here last night with a friend. The atmosphere was laid back and the live music soothing. I enjoyed a glass of wine and picked up a couple snacks as well. A wonderful place to sit alone or with friends/partner.
What a neat place! Hit here on a weekend. Unfamiliar with the area, we couldn't find a bottle of wine anywhere! Go figure the light of day would open our eyes to the local markets. Any hoo, we grabbed a table and a couple glasses of wine/cider to enjoy the live entertainment. Beautiful night, great company and a one man show. Nice way to wrap up the day.
I love that they have wine and beer flights!! You can bring food inside. Great variety.
We stopped by here to have a glass of wine and chit chat before calling it a night. Bray was so good he recommended a outstanding Sauvignon Blanc for me and it was so delicious. He made our experience very pleasant.
My review has nothing to do with the Wine vault itself but the atmosphere and ambiance! People are bringing their children and they are running around yelling and screaming as children do! It’s not the children fault it’s the parents who have no regards to the fact this is a grown up relaxing atmosphere a place to come and rewind and relax with a glass or bottle of wine with friends co workers or significant other! There needs to be a rule of over 21 to sit outside at wine vault or enter! Until it changes I will not be returning they can have it….
Wonderful selection of wines. I’m not from the area, but I come to Charlotte about once a year. I always make this a stop!
It was my first time visiting, but it won't be my last. 💞💞
As someone who travels for work, usually spots like The Wine Vault are super snobby and don’t really welcome “outsiders”. Not the case here. I immediately felt welcome and comfortable. Atmosphere was 10/10
The fella at the counter (Ryan?) was super patient and accommodating. I didn’t get the usual eye-roll treatment for asking newbie questions. One of the most impressive things though, was his ability to recite what was on each shelf and where. Totally blew my mind. He even knew the arrangement of the beer coolers in the back by heart. Staff 10/10
Which brings me to my final and most important point...
Yeah, they’ve got a ton of wine. Hopefully you already figured that out. What surprised the heck outta me was the glorious selection of beers tucked away in the back. So many good beer choices! Not just random hipster beers with abstract art on a turtle-safe can, but a well curated selection of delicious beers.
Selection 10/10
Do yourself a favor. If you’re in Charlotte, stop by. You won’t regret it.
