Vancouver Urban Winery

A bit disappointed with the place, it seems to be focussed around the Belgrade Kitchen. Came here hoping to just get some drinks on a Saturday night but there is only really restaurant seating. There's a small waiting area that doubles as a bar, but your limited to small over priced beers and wine by the glass, no flights.

I am always on the search for new and interesting experiences, and today it has brought me to a wine class. I have often fantasized about being a sommelier, and the idea of being paid to drink. So today, the Sunday wine class at “Vancouver Urban Winery” was the closest I would get to achieving that.

Wine flights for $12-$15? Yes, please! Love that this place offers and showcases so many different kinds of wineries. Can't wait to come back to try more and buy a few bottles of their own wine!

PROS<br/ Good wine selection<br/ Local wine<br/ Decent food at reasonable prices<br/ Love their theme of the place<br/ Good for chilling out<br/ <br/ CONS<br/ Didn't feel welcomed<br/ The guy who served us was pretty rude<br/ The place was too steamy and hot<br/ <br/ RATING<br/ Food 4.0/6.0<br/ Ambience 4.0/6.0<br/ Service 1.5/6.0<br/ Price <br/ <br/ A few hours after lunch I ran out of idea where to go with my parents. My friend highly recommended this place before so I decided to take my parents out here. Vancouver Urban Winery is a boutique winery located in Railtown, two blocks East of Gastown. They produce 700 cases of wine per year and their tasting room has 36 wine taps where you can taste the in house brands and wines produced from other wineries in BC. <br/ <br/ My parents got Sommelier's Choice Wine Flights 12 which included 2 white, 1 rose and 2 red wines all produced in BC. They really enjoyed trying out different types of wines selected by our sommelier. Because of the hot weather I got a glass of pilsner instead.<br/ <br/ For wine paring, we got delicious Seared Scallops with Terrato Bacon Jam 16 which consisted of Cauliflower Puree, Pickled Mushrooms and Crispy Kale Chips. It tasted amazingly good. Regardless of its small portion, it definitely deserves its price. The scallops were very fresh and I loved the puree as well as a hint of enoki mushrooms.<br/ <br/ Our second dish was Flank Steak with Chimichurri 14 which had slices of medium steak with sprouts, malbec molasses and chimichurri Argentinan green sauce made of finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano and white vinegar on top. As I am not a big fan of steak, I didn't really enjoy the meat itself but I loved all other ingredients they used for this dish. It had interesting flavours that blended well with the steak. My parents loved it.<br/ For the third dish, we got Yam Gnocchi with Lamb Ragu 16 but it was way too salty that we couldn't stand another bite.<br/ Overall, I loved their food and wine flights as well. This place is definitely a good place for chilling out :

Love the place for it's decor and atmosphere. Variety of beverage (on tap) from beer to wine. Definitely an experience, but the food is just so so. Service was good and definitely be back. Overall experience: Thumb's up.
