Bottle House

Bottle House is a wine shop on West Main Street with a wide selection of premium domestic and international wines, cheeses and charcuterie, stemware and additional accessories for a well-stocked kitchen. Born in the quiet of a covid winter, Bottle House reimagines what a wine shop in Charlottesville might be. Owned and operated by two troubadours —  Nashville-immigrated entrepreneur Brian Levy and New Orleanian literary raconteur Louie Cornay — their dream imagines a third place that does more than just sell wine.

Voila. This highly-differentiated wine shop, which is also a tasting room, a social club,  and a live music venue,  A visit here is truly a treasure hunt! You’ll find friends you haven’t met yet. You’ll hear music and stories. You can nosh and comprehend while sitting at their bar or comfortable tables.

This is a moment of innovation in Charlottesville’s food scene when fine restaurants vertically integrate into a wider wine selection, to complement your dining experience — the West Main corridor is chock-full of excellent dining options — or to offer convenience for shoppers to go. This shop has a fine selection, for gifts or personal consumption. And with friendly service, it is a blessing to the neighborhood.

There’s always something coming up at Bottle House. Make sure to peruse their website for updates on special tasting events.
