I cannot speak to the food here but I can address their quality as a wine shop. As others have said, Classic Wineseller is located below the street in a real cellar-type space. These folks know what they are doing. The wines range from everyday value wines to high-end collector specimens. I absolutely love the way they have the wines ... read more

Great piano bar to listen to jazz. Every kind of wine you can think of. A few beers also. Four star rating because the food was not good.

A great little wine shop with an unbelievable selection of wines. One would never expect to find this selection fine wines in the small, western North Carolina of Waynesville.

Most romantic place in town. No matter what age you are, you'll be swept away by the music, food, and spirits. My husband and I went out to celebrate his birthday and very much enjoyed the live music by Joe Cruz. Fantastic evening. Delicious lentil vegetable soup and shrimp pasta.

We love Waynesville and the Wine Seller makes it even more special. The dinner was nothing short of amazing and served by great staff. We ordered two bottles of wine describing what we enjoyed and Richard was right on point with his recommendation. Kay is a generous and wonderful hostess.

It's a pleasant place to share a drink with friends, but the low ceiling and dim lighting give it a certain--how should I say--claustrophobic charm.
Will Lehman via google.com - Sep 26, 2018
This place is restaurant/wine shop/music stage all in one.
My husband and I stopped in to buy a couple of bottles of wine so we didn't get to sample the food but it looked crowded. They also planned to have live music that evening.

Excellent small wine cellar restaurant.
Great little place! Restaurant only open on Friday and Saturday evenings with entertainment. A good selection of Tapas type entrees and an extensive wine collection for you to enjoy. Joe Cruz, piano and vocals was also excellent low-key entertainment durning our exceptional dinner.
