Celladora Wines

Loved everything about this charming little wine shop/small plates restaurant. The food was locally sourced and the wines delicious. They never open the same bottle again so you can try something new every time. Would like to see some more seating or outdoor seating in the warmer months but that's a minor criticism. I enjoyed talking to the server who told us about the wines.

We had a wonderful meal and wines. The reservations are done by text and the restaurant was kind to text us before we were leaving that they were running a bit behind ( so we didn't have to wait once we got there) Staff very knowledgeable about the different wines and food being served. While it is a small menu there were different choices given some of my dietary restrictions. Food was delicious and very fresh. I would rate it 9.3/10 only because the seared tuna took time to come out and was generally overcooked and the radicchio was a very bitter element in terms of flavor balance. We loved the choice of frisée for the Caesar salad and the beef tartare was outstanding with the Middle Eastern notesWill be back very soon!!!!

We had an exceptional experience at this wine shop/restaurant, which excels in every aspect. On Valentine's Day, the cozy and intimate atmosphere, with seating for only five tables, set the perfect tone. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable and genuinely caring.As for the food and wine, we opted for the prix fixe Valentine's Day menu with wine pairings for all six dishes. The journey began with exemplary oysters, followed by smoked salmon with triple cream Brie and schkug, a dish that truly transcended simplicity. The seamless harmony between the dishes and wines was extraordinary, making it one of the finest pairings we've experienced.Each course, from the elevated pasta to the perfectly cooked bison steak, showcased meticulous attention to detail. Even the sides, like the flawlessly prepared collards and potatoes accompanying the steak, were exceptional. There was not a single flaw in the entire experience.To top it off, the pavlova was a delightful blend of sweet and salty, unlike any dessert we've ever tasted. It was a perfect 10/10 conclusion to an unforgettable evening.

I attended a special event at Celladora a week ago, and the darling wine shop has been on my mind ever since. I loved everything about it and can't wait to return again sometime soon!Our group (Social Club RVA) had the entire space reserved with a pre-set menu and optional wine tasting. Safe to say, I opted into the tasting.Upon walking in, it was clear that so much thought had been put into the aesthetic of the space. The vibe was so welcoming, with an intimate setup of two long tables (special for the group, it's usually separated out, I believe).Megan and her team were lovely hosts, and we had a very relaxed tasting of three different natural wines (Sunset was my favorite) with explanations on each, as well as eight different food items.We started with the house-spiced nuts, which were cashews with lime leaves, lemongrass, and Thai chili. Delightful all around. I had to stop myself from over-indulging in them.We also had house-marinated olives with citrus, garlic, and dried chili. Olives are among my favorite foods and when the table almost left some behind, myself and another girl scooped up a bunch of them so they wouldn't go to waste.Once we were fully settled in at the tables, we were treated to three dips (yogurt and garlic, mahamara, and baba ganoush) with Sub Rosa flatbread. Oh, my gosh. I probably could've finished off those dips and bread singlehandedly if I wasn't with a large group. Sooooo good! I especially loved the yogurt dip. It was so cool and refreshing.For our next course, we had flounder ceviche with peppers, clementines, and cilantro. I didn't personally love this, but I am also not huge on peppers or raw fish. Others did enjoy it though. Just not my thing!After that, we had cucumber salad with Szechuan oil, cilantro, and peanuts. Loved this dish, and I'm not usually a big cucumber fan! So tasty.Once that was cleared, we had queso fundido, of which I had the bulk. People were actually going to leave the cheese behind, like come on, you can't do that!Oro's gemelli and pork larb were our last two courses. Both were a touch too spicy for me, but pretty much anything is too spicy for me, so please don't let that stop you from ordering them if they have them.All told, Celladora was the scene of one of my happiest nights of summer thus far, and I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to indulge in delightful food and great wine.

Fabulous gem in the Fan. Wonderful surprising selection of natural wines paired with inventive delicious food. Personal service that is attentive and informative about the amazing wines. Intimate setting with lovely vibe. Will definitely be back soon.

I love Celladora Wines! If you're looking for an intimate wine experience, this is the spot for you.***LOCATION***Located in the Fan, on Lombardy near Floyd, this cozy wine shop is a local gem. With its giant windows and limited seating, you're in for an intentional moment with tasty wines.***EXPERIENCE***I've been hear a few times and every time I visit I'm so happy. I think the natural lighting and people watching give me so much joy. I also love the bright colors of the water glasses. There are only four tables at this place. You're able to make a reservation by messaging them on Instagram, texting their number, or calling them.Celladora Wines is one of many local establishments that make Richmond so special. Richmond's local businesses excel at familiarity. It's like living in a small town and knowing everyone, when in reality it's a city. Places like Celladora shine at creating those relationships. I love that they only have four tables. It feels like you're really catered to as a guest here. Sometimes you might wait a little, but when it's your turn you're given undivided attention. I love that they try to give customers the chance explore different wines.It's a lot of fun to try more organic and natural wines for me! They have food here too. They also host really fun popups. You can learn more about them on their Instagram.***PRICE***I spent about $30 for two glasses of wine on a recent visit.***BATHROOM***There is a very clean and stylish single all gender restroom for guests.***CONCLUSION***This is an incredible spot for a first date, a girls night, those new to wine, those familiar with wine, a selfcare day, and more. I love Celladora Wines and highly recommend trying it to anyone and everyone.

Although the natural wines were generally not my thing they were enjoyably presented and explained. Perhaps benefitting from my first visit being during the peak of summer produce season, the food was incredible and consistently well-executed with fantastic flavor combinations. Whoever's cooking here knows what they're doing. The small plates are ideal for two couples to share around the table.

Celladora is a quaint wine bar located in the fan! They have a variety of wines from regions from around the world. Celladora is very cozy with limited seating so reservations are highly recommended. They serve small plates and desserts that are very peculiar. It's a very intimate space. I would recommend this for a date night or causal outing for parties of 3 or less.

Absolutely love this place. My wife and I were very excited when Celladora opened in the neighborhood and it's surpassed our expectations. Megan and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the wines and have guided us in fun directions.And the food! Oh the food... it's as much of a hero as the wine. I've been a bunch of times, including renting the whole place out for a party and it's been fantastic every time. This place is a gem in Richmond.

After walking by Celladora several times and admiring how cute and charming it was in there, I finally made a reservation for dinner. Despite being predominately a wine shop, I was very impressed with the food. We started with the beef tartare, which was very unique compared to other restaurants in Richmond. Instead of relying on capers and olive oil, they used a really complex combination of spices to really make it taste exciting and different. I loved it.Then we had the flounder ceviche, which was refreshing, delicious, and a bit spicy! Moving onto the seared tuna -- it was cooked perfectly and the sauce was wonderful. I loved the dollop of cream to help bring a richness to the dish. The green beans were fine, but the star was definitely the tuna.Lastly, we had the pork larb, which had so much flavor! I was genuinely impressed by this dish and how sweet yet sour yet spicy it was. There were so many flavors and it was just delicious.I'm not a wine expert, but the bottle our server recommended to pair with our food was very nice. I will definitely be coming back! :)
