    Very knowledgeable and personable staff! The trivia was a fun addition and good conversation starter. The area was very nicely decorated. I thought that the elevated tasting and pairing came with a very generous amount of food which was all delicious (especially the cupcakes); however, the wine portions were uneven and on the small side, imho. They also gave us a sample of their wine slushies, which were delicious!

    I found this place on a whim... let me tell you... the ambiance was nice, we were greeted by a pleasant young lady, she explained how it works and then we were seated. The vibe and music were perfect fun and me and my girlfriends had a good time. We will be coming back.. the staff was very nice and pleasant. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    This place allows for intimate conversation with friends. Instead a glass plate for the charcuterie board a wooden one could be used. That would allow for better presentation.

    Melanated Wine is a GREAT place. I went here with friends for my birthday. Right when we walked in the door the ambiance was calm, inviting and I knew it was a vibe. I had the Level Up Tasting and the presentation was beautiful. They host events as well so I will be back for Sunday Brunch to say the least.

    We celebrated our Anniversary and Jasmine was our Hostess and she was amazing. She was very knowlegeable about the history of the business, the Wines and explained the Wine Tasting. She gave us her undivided attention and we felt that she was excited for us to be there. Jasmine made sure the music was appropriate for the occasion. We will definitely return again!

    My wife and I kicked off our 20th Anniversary with me surprising her at Melanated Wine. We were really impressed and very felt pleased with everything. We enjoyed the great atmosphere and awesome customer service. From the tastings, to the cupcakes to the additional cupcakes. 😂 Nice atmosphere, soft music during our stay for our anniversary and great attention to detail. The owners and staff were top notch! You will NOT be disappointed if you go. Great job Melanated Wine. We will return soon. Thank you for everything.
