WiFi Wine Bar and Shoppe

The WiFi Wine Bar and Shoppe boasts a variety of drinks for patrons to choose from, but that’s not all. This bar wants to create a space that makes it easy for people to connect. They host weekly events like open-mic nights on Thursdays and live music on Fridays and Saturdays. If you’re interested in discovering what new wines you might like, but don’t want to pay the full price, enjoy their Tuesday night free wine tasting from 5:30-7:30pm, or their half-priced glass Wednesdays. Take a group of friends, your special someone, or go to meet some other members of the High Point community and enjoy a glass.

The Public House

The Public House in High Point Uptowne functions as both a boutique and wine shop. Their goal? Create an opportunity that provides customers with more than just the simple wines they’d find in a grocery store. They want to give their customers the most bang for their buck, all while featuring smaller vineyards and winemakers who create specialty bottles. (They even feature wines made by winemakers who have come specifically to High Point!) This is the perfect place to stop in a find a new, unique bottle of wine to share with your favorite people.

(Not to mention that a portion of their wine sale profits go to support charities that provide clean water and support children with serious illness. What’s better than knowing your purchase is going to make the world a better place?)

The wine from this winery is sold throughout High Point, so you can find it at almost any of your favorite places to grab a drink in town.  Additionally, their headquarters provides a great place for a private event!
