Wines on Tap

​At Vini Culture, a wine bar and café in Downtown Frederick, there is no need for you to polish your dress shoes before being granted access to a wide selection of fine wines and culinary excellence! You can tell just by looking in from the street that this place fosters a welcoming, casual atmosphere.

The front window displays are home to a comfy sofa and coffee table, similar to what you find at a coffee shop. As you walk in the door, you’re greeted by a friendly staff member, who explains the setup.

They offer about a few dozen wines ranging from $5 to $30 per glass. If you want to sample everything before committing to a full glass, no problem! No server brings you your drink. Instead, you use automatic wine dispensers to browse through the bottles and make your selections.

Add money to a smart card, push the card into a machine, and select your wine and serving size (2 oz, 4 oz, or 6 oz), all priced depending on the bottle. This is a good system for people who like to try many different types of wine without buying entire bottles or spending more than they intended.

The food is also delicious and reasonably priced. A three-dip tray of hummus, spicy feta, and olives, served with pita chips is one great snack option, but a full lunch or dinner menu is available.

This particular blend of a comfy, casual ambiance with funky music and fun wines would make for the perfect date night. The place is often full of couples chatting about the wines and teasing each other for using the machines wrong as they browse through selections.
