Riggers Loft Wine Co

I had this place recommended to me by a colleague and we ended up (about 20 of us) coming here after a work event. It's just a gem of a spot, with an incredible staff, and a fantastic selection of wines and cider. The space is expansive, with an outdoor area as well. They have a ping pong table, corn hole, and a bocci court. I'd highly recommend this place for a work gathering, a company party, or a quiet night to yourself to sip wine and relax.

Fun spot. We were group of 7. We enjoyed wine tasting (served) and Thai food from the truck outside (serve yourself). My one complaint was that my yellow curry and rice was served in takeout containers that I couldn’t use to eat. Had to use half my husband’s styrofoam tray to serve myself. Some real dishes would be nice. But the price was right. Several of us bought a bottle of wine, so tasting was free. Nice live jazz playing. All in all a win.

What a unique find! Who would have thought to put a wine bar out in the middle of the shipyards? Very cool place and the staff was very attentive and accommodating. The view is great and it's a great place to hang out with a group of friends. Just dress warm - it can be chilly in there.

Riggers Wine Loft Co. is housed an a WWII-era building at the historic Richmond shipyard where the famous Rosie the Riveters completed much of their work. It is a wine bar and tasting room offering wine by the bottle, glass, or flight. Food is provided by a rotation of food trucks. My server was most helpful in selecting wines to create a flight. The food truck on Friday night was from Taqueria Esperanza, which offers a variety of tasty creations. The live music was enjoyable and not too loud for conversation.

It was good for talking to each other because no one was there at 4pm. Perfect for what I had planned. Food was good from the vender but there was only one.

My new favorite spot to get away without driving that far. GREAT view, wonderful wines, small plates and music on Fridays and Saturdays.

Although the gentleman (frank) took a break and forgot to bring our glasses we ordered, the owner more than made up for it. I’ll remain a loyal customer.

I hope the bar stools are safer to sit on next time. The crew was great!

A diamond in the rough. You feel like you have entered a private party/members only
Yet this is a winery opened to everyone that can find it. The view draws you in that you forget your in a winery warehouse.
Awesome setup someone spent money and made this place amazing.
