About Chateau La Vin:

“Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.”

~ Ernest Hemingway

Whether you’re

a seasoned wine drinker with a specific palate or a new wine drinker unsure of what to try or what you might like, Chateau La Vin is the place for you. Over the past 15 years, I’ve been researching and deepening my understanding about wines from around the world. I’m passionate about wine and the wine experience – and I want to share that with you. For some, the idea of choosing wines can be daunting because the selection can be so vast. Chateau La Vin specializes in an eclectic mix of boutique wines from around the world. Each offering has been carefully chosen to be the best representative of its kind in the store. The selections range from inexpensive to premium and wine tastings will give you the opportunity to refine or broaden your wine palate. It’s possible you may come in with an idea of one thing to buy, and walk out with a new personal favorite. Not only can you find great wines and specialty beers at Chateau La Vin, you can stay and enjoy a glass or bottle of wine with your friends in our intimate setting. If you’re hungry, cheese, crackers and chocolates will be available to accompany your wine. If you’re looking for a heartier meal, Columbia has great restaurants on Main Street. Have your order made “to go” and bring it in to enjoy with your wine. If you have dinner plans elsewhere, stop by beforehand and enjoy a glass of wine or specialty beer.Do you have questions about what wine to bring to a party, special occasion or need a great gift? Stop by and I’ll personally work with you to find that special wine to fit any occasion.

Hello Friends of Château La Vin,

While we always love pouring you a fantastic glass of wine, we also take our spirits seriously! If you are in the mood to mix things up this weekend, we invite you to stop by the lounge and explore our Featured Specialty Libations.

Whether you are a whiskey aficionado or a martini lover, we are shaking and stirring up some incredible craft cocktails to perfectly match your evening:

🥃 The Classic Old Fashioned: Smooth, balanced, and timeless. We mix premium whiskey with just the right touch of sweetness and bitters for the ultimate whiskey experience.

🍒 The Manhattan (Regular or Smoked): A sophisticated staple made with premium bourbon. Want to elevate your drink? Ask for it smoked! We will infuse your glass with rich wood smoke for a complex, savory flavor profile you won't forget.

🍫 Chocolate Martini: Looking for a little decadence? This rich, creamy, and indulgent cocktail is the perfect dessert in a glass.

🍋 Lemon Drop Martini: Bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with a sugared rim. It is the ideal sweet and tart treat to sip on while you unwind.

No matter what you are craving, our comfortable, air-conditioned lounge is the perfect place to relax. Come grab a seat at the bar this week and let us mix up your new favorite drink.

Cheers,

The Château La Vin Team
