Short Walk Wines

This restaurant boasts a fantastic location, an impressive selection of wines, and a staff that really knows their stuff. Whether you prefer sipping a glass in the inviting bar area or relaxing outdoors on the private patio, you can truly experience the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Raleigh.

The wine on tap is decent, and there are some good bottle selections in the shop. I attended the Thursday night tasting because the bartender had mentioned it was free during my last visit, but I was surprised to be charged $10 this time. That left me a bit confused. Despite that, it’s a charming spot to enjoy a glass of wine, especially with outdoor seating. The older gentleman behind the bar is very pleasant, and the location is excellent.

SWW is an adorable little place! We popped in for a few glasses of wine and had a wonderful time. I suggest reserving the outdoor space, as it's more intimate and wasn't crowded when we were there. If you're interested in buying wine to take home, they have some great options, so be sure to look into that. If you're in the area, definitely give this spot a try!

Why go anywhere else for wine in downtown? SWW has a friendly, informative crew. They sell wonderfully curated wines from all over the world. The store is cozy and inviting you to stay for a glass of wine or two.

A Great Find! Such a great vibe to enjoy a glass or more of some fantastic wines. Just dropped in there for first time last evening but definitely will not be the last. Staff was very knowledgeable, super friendly and willing to share her expertise. I had called earlier in the day to inquire about a particular but hard to find type of wine and was told they had some and was awed to find out they had put it on ice for me! Already looking forward to the next time I get to visit!
