Delicious rosé bubbles + a sunny Saturday = basically Wilmington math.

This beauty brings just the right amount of “one more glass” energy to the patio. Come soak up some sunshine and sip something sparkling. 🍾✨

Blind Chenin Blanc tasting is in full swing and this sunny Saturday is showing off ☀️🍷

Four Chenins, all different regions, all completely blind—and people are definitely having opinions (we love to see it).

If you’ve been thinking about jumping in, this is your last call for the weekend.

Plus—it’s Winestation Weekend, so all pours are 15% off today.
More tasting, less overthinking.

Grab a seat, start with an ounce, and see where you land.

Sun’s out, bags are up, and the Chenin Blanc blind tasting is in full swing ☀️🍷

Four Chenins. All different regions. All completely blind.

If you’ve been meaning to jump in—this is your last call for the weekend.

And yes, it’s also Winestation Weekend… so pours are 15% off while you figure out which one you actually love.

Come hang, make a few guesses, and maybe surprise yourself.

If it’s over 80° and you’re not holding an Amoro Spritz… what are we even doing here?

Consider this your friendly Wilmington public service announcement:
Sunshine + patio + Amoro Rosso + bubbles = significantly improved life decisions.

Hydrate responsibly.
Preferably with a spritz. 🍹☀️

After the wildly fun success of Winestation Madness Sweet Sixteen, we had one big thought: Why should the discounts only last for bracket season?

So here’s what we’re doing about it.

Starting now, every Winestation Weekend means 15% off all Winestation pours — by the ounce or by the glass.

And in honor of this warm stretch of weather, we’ve adjusted the lineup:

• 16 chilled selections — crisp whites, refreshing rosés, sunshine-ready sippers
• 12 red options — because great red wine is not seasonal around here

That’s 28 rotating wines, with more chilled choices than ever, all ready for patio weather.

We’ll save you a seat. 🍷

Sun’s out. Slushies back. It’s officially that time again. ☀️🍷

And for the first time ever… we’ve spun up a Raspberry Rosé Wine Slushie — because warm weather this good deserved something a little extra.

Bright raspberry. Crisp rosé. Frosty, patio-perfect goodness. And somehow? It’s even better than we imagined. (Like… amazingly good.)

This week’s forecast: 100% chance of “just one more.”

Winestation Weekend just got a glow-up, and we are fully leaning in.

Grab a Winestation Card and a seat outside, then work your way through 28 wines by the ounce while Wilmington shows off a little.

Beautiful weather. Beautiful pours. Zero pretension.

See you on the patio. ☀️🍷

Final buzzer coming in hot. 🍷⏰

Winestation Sweet Sixteen ends this Saturday — which means you’ve only got a few more days to fill out your wine bracket and sip your way to glory (15% off all Winestation pours while we crown a champ 👀).

And let’s be clear… it’s not just the bracket bottles showing off.

All 28 wines on the Winestation are basically begging to be enjoyed in this unreal weather. Porch-perfect rosés, crisp whites, chillable or robust reds — main character energy everywhere.

Bring a friend. Grab a bracket. Make some bold calls.🍷🖊️

Brunch plans? Handled. 🥂🍊

Drekker’s Brunch Bubbz is now on tap and it’s basically a mimosa that decided to party a little harder. Fresh orange vibes, crisp champagne-like finish, bright bubbles for days… an easy-drinking 5% ABV… and it’s gluten free.

Temps may be a little cooler, but this is straight-up sunshine in a glass — and honestly, that makes everything OK. Patio optional. Good mood guaranteed.

Ameztoi Rubentis is starting to run away with the Winestation Sweet Sixteen, and honestly? We get it. It’s done it before.

That fresh, lightly fizzy Basque rosé energy. The crisp acidity. The “why is this glass empty already?” factor. It’s built for porch weather, bracket debates, and going back for “just one more splash.”

If you haven’t cast your vote yet, this is your sign.

Come hang with us at The Wine Sampler this weekend, grab a bracket, sip through the competition (15% off all Winestation pours), and see if Rubentis keeps its lead… or if there’s an upset brewing.

Wine brackets > basketball brackets.

March Madness… but make it wine 🍷

Winestation Sweet Sixteen starts TODAY—8 styles, head-to-head matchups, and you decide the winner. Even better? 15% off all Winestation pours the entire tournament.

Sip, strategize, maybe second-guess your picks (we get it).

And for today only: is delivering AND offering a special promo discount—just tell them it’s for Sweet Sixteen + The Wine Sampler.

Brackets. Wine. Pizza. Let’s play.
