Once Upon a Vine South 2817 Hathaway Road, Richmond, VA 23225

"Just so people are aware: This shop was purchased and renamed by the new owner in late 2019, and is now Oxford Cellars. Still the same great product with awesome staff!"

"I've been here twice so far, about a month apart. The first time Nick made a recommendation when my favorite tawny port wasn't in stock. It wasn't a solid hit, but very close. His second recommendation had been picture worthy because it was so close to my ask. The second visit I was given a full Somm experience. Chris and Richmond were tasked to find me a "cherry forward wine with some tannin structure, but not stiff or lingering" They recommended love symbol. It was so close to my ask that I took home the last half of the bottle to share with the person for whom the profile had been described. It was dangerously good at a reasonable price. Don't let the meager appearance of the storefront dissuade you from stopping by. You might pay a dollar or two more than total wine or wine.com, but the service is worth it."

"The best selection of wines and beer around!! Very well priced for an amazing value - and wines from around the U.S., but also other countries! My husband and I went to Portugal for a wine tasting tour not long ago, and discovered some amazing wines, Once Upon a Vine South carries an amazing selection of wines from Portugal!! AND -- not only do they carry an amazing selection of wine and beer, but you can also count on them for snacks and mixers for cocktails!! They carry many local products!! Give them a try....you won't be disappointed!! In fact, you may just find a new "go to" place !!! Bonnie Smallwood"

"I called to place a pickup order for a case of wine, but couldn't remember the names of the wines we usually purchased. The gentleman on the phone asked what style of wine we usually liked to drink, then made some selections for us. Every bottle in that case was spot-on perfection! They really know what they're doing."

"Expert staff. I’ve had so many good recommendations from them. They are helpful and friendly. They can order something they don’t carry. On Friday nights, the have a free wine tasting and there’s usually a beer tasting, too. Sometimes even a cider tasting. Don’t pass by the food section without taking a look. Great snacks to go with your beer or wine."
