Between its ’70s exterior brick facade, small windows, and shared foyer entrance with a semi-retired barber, Vine & Dine is frequently overlooked by the average tourist who comes across the Mississippi River on the ferry to Algiers Point. However, neighbors and regulars “in the know” don’t skip a beat when making their way to the hidden treasure that lies inside. It’s clear from the gourmet sensibilities of the menu, eclectic wine selection, and old world style atmosphere that this is not your typical hole in the wall New Orleans neighborhood joint. The wine bar is nestled all the way in the back of the building, away from the hustle and bustle of the day, with no distracting televisions or loud music to disturb you. With just four candlelit tables and a few seats at the bar, it’s easy to get lost in conversation or have a quiet drink to unwind. On warm New Orleans nights the courtyard is the place to be for a romantic evening of dining under the stars. We’re excited to have recently added a “Grape Bar” family friendly seating area for those dining with fresh grapes. The Wine Bar continues to be reserved for our mature grapes, aged for at least 21 years.
