Rioja is a cozy, friendly place. A special shout-out to Nathanael, who has been the sommelier for a group of us who go there regularly. He explains the wines, brings samples to help us choose, and is thoughtful and attentive in every way.

Their small plates pair beautifully with the pours, making every visit feel like a mini European escape. The winetenders are wonderful! It is our go-to place.
My husband and I just "popped in" to pick up our club wines and grab a glass. Tristan, Nathanael and Callie were so welcoming and hospitable. We ran into lots of friends so our "pop in" became extended. Love this place! It really is like a neighborhood "Cheers." It's truly our go to spot for great wine, great friendship and conversation!!
I’ve been living nearby for years, and I can’t believe I haven’t written this review sooner. Rioja Wine Bar is an absolute gem in the neighborhood, and it deserves all the praise. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, personal touch that makes you feel like a cherished guest rather than just another customer. The staff here go above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic experience, and their passion for wine and excellent service truly shines through. One of my absolute favorites is the Medjool dates appetizer. Their curated wine selection is impressive! Thank you, Rioja Wine Bar, for consistently providing such a wonderful experience. I look forward to many more visits in the future!
I truly enjoyed my first time here . The people and setting make it a great hang out spot . James was my server and he was great. He guided me through the wine list,recommended some great wines all while still taking me out of my comfort zone a little. (I’m not a red wine person but the Pinot 10/10.) I had the dip as a snack and it was so good, the hint of citrus really did it for me . I recommend this place for a date night, girls night any night really .

Greensboro's cozy neighborhood spot for curated wines, small plates, and warm hospitality.
