Named Best Wine Bar in the ATX by Austin Monthly!
We made Austin Woman's Magazine's Valentine's Day Food Tour!
"For your first stop, pop into House Wine. This quaint establishment offers an array of wine, some small pastries and delightful cheeseboards. Do not be surprised to find live music playing on the front porch. Our recommended first course is the Mediterranean-inspired roasted mozzarella, served with an olive tapenade, sundried tomatoes and toasted baguette. The plate comes with its own mini Sterno fire, so the two of you can roast mozzarella balls over the open flame together. This is a fun activity best shared, and the ooey, gooey cheese mixed with the garnishes atop the baguette makes a beautiful meld of flavors. Pair this with any of the wines you are in the mood for to create a first course that you’ll remember for many Valentine’s Days to come. (Note: House Wine offers half off all open bottles of wine by the glass on Sunday evenings. This is a great deal, but get there early to get your pick. They run out fast.) "

Named one of Austin's Best Wine Bars by Austin Monthly!
"The aptly named House Wine, located in a cozy residential home just off South Lamar, serves wine, artisanal small plates and homemade desserts. Regulars love the “happy hour every hour” selections, including $7 glasses of wine as well as the weekly specials, like free appetizers every Thursday. Take a wine-tasting class or just relax on the patio with house specialties, such as the Peach Basil Sangria, a mix of white wine, freshly squeezed lemon, basil and topped with a sparkling Prosecco and peach puree.”
Voted Best Bar Ambiance in the Austin Chronicle's Best of Austin List!
"House Wine, on the other, very different hand, is like home, were your home tidy, streamlined, cozy, and posh, all at the same time. No wonder so many folks flock to it: Here, one may sip the yield of the grape whilst escaping his/her own disgusting domicile."
A hideaway by Zilker Park that prides itself on lack of pretentiousness, House offers 100 wines by the glass and more cheese options here than your stomach could handle. Looking to up your knowledge? Wine tastings (which come with a cheese board) are held weekly.
