We have a lot to be grape-ful for. Greenville is known for its food and cocktails, but we decided to give some love to our fruity friend, wine. Because, wine not?

This is a list of Greenville wine shops. If you don’t see your favorite winery, don’t panic. That’s a list for another time.

Foxcroft Wine Co., 631 S. Main St. | Flight anyone? In addition to a robust menu featuring pasta, burgers, and signature donuts (a must try), you can also enjoy a glass of wine, a bottle, or a flight.

Northampton Wine + Dine, 211 E. Broad St. | Offering wine tastings, a wide array of imported wine, and a fine dining menu, Northampton really knows how to wine and dine. It is in the name, after all.

Taxi House Wines, 586 Perry Ave. | If you’re looking at this address thinking, “That’s the address of The Anchorage,” you are correct. This wine shop sits in the former entrance of the restaurant and features 80+ selections you can also find on the restaurant’s wine list.

Wine House, 475 Haywood Rd., Ste. 8 | With a uniquely curated wine list + food from Project Host, it’s no wonder this is one of City Editor Stephanie’s favorite places to hang out. Pro tip: WH offers a happy hour Monday-Thursday from 4-7 p.m.

The Community Tap, Multiple locations | Grab a glass of wine at one of three locations or a bottle from one of the bottle shops. Another pro tip: Check the food truck calendar on the website before you plan your trip.

Where did we miss, Greenville? Let us know your favorite place to wine down.

Today is National Red Wine day, aka my favorite holiday of the year besides Halloween. You can catch me at Wine House reading a book and sipping on a glass (or two) of malbec.
