Enjoyed a private but fantastic evening here recently. One of my favorite things about the place was the crowd - an eclectic mix of classy, trendy, fashionable people who were all having a great time. Perf wine list. The conversation was so good, that we definitely closed the place down. They do close at midnight on a Friday, so FYI if you plan on staying out later, be sure to have a backup plan, which we did. I was lucky enough to find parking easily, but I would suggest taking an Uber here.
My Favorite place to grab wine! This is the restoration hardware of wine bars. The decor is lovely and cozy, and the wine is AMAZING. Love the atmosphere and bartenders here. I also love that they support artists in their space. Definitely recommend.
The atmosphere of this place is fantastic! Had a delicious glass of wine (maybe 2) in their outdoor space. They were kind enough to replace my glass when a bug decided to suicide bomb my wine. Can’t wait to go back.
Beautiful, cozy wine bar with nice outdoor patio. Inside has a wine bar and different seating that invites groups to chat and relax. The fireplaces are inviting! Art work is for sale and decorates the wall to bring more charm to the cozy wine bar. Great for girls night or a date night! Wine is a bit pricey as would be expected, there are usually local beers served here as well.
Great place to kick back and enjoy conversations with friends. If you enjoy a relaxed, quiet, setting with a great selection of wine at reasonable prices, this is a good choice.
Nice place to get an after dinner drink. Decent selection of beer for a wine place. Very cozy feel inside
Fast services was provided by great staff. Nice place. Food was good. Reasonable prices.
Classy atmosphere and bites. Charcuterie boards are great! And the china dishes are totes fab. Beware the cheese straws though... Theyre not straws, but more like fancy Goldfish.
Nice wine bar. Great staff.
Great service. Good wine. Just wish there was a little more seating.
Nice place to hang out and enjoy winter and conversation. The space downtown is smaller than I thought so youd have to get there a little early on weekends to get good seats. Service was ok with most bartenders, except for one, being generally friendly and helpful. I plan on checking out the one in midtown as well. Id recommend
Nice casual-upscale place. Wine selection is pretty good, generally $8-13/glass. Beer selection could use some additional options. Price seems to be $1/pint more than nearby competitors. I havent tried any food, but they have a nice selection of cheeses and charcuterie.
This was a nice place to gather with friends. We sat around a coffee table and shared wine and appetizers, whigh were very good. I appreciated the gluten free crackers on the meat and cheese tray. It was lively but not too loud, we could talk and actually hear each other, which I also appreciated. We will come again.
Beautiful location for a relaxing glass of wine. Had the cheese plate and bread plate. Delicious!
Amazing place to have a conversation and good wine
We hosted our Baby shower event at Vita Vites rental space.. Brie was our coordinator and she was lovely to help everything we wanted to come in to decide/ change arrangements. They offered all our beer and wine choices.Needless to say, their rental space is gorgeous and different from the usual place anyone would want to host a baby shower.. a lot of our guests complimented us on the space...On the day of our event, bar was set up beautifully and the staff helped us with setting up and breakdown of our rentals that we had from CE Rental.. Unfortunately, I cant remember their names (pregnancy brain) but regardless, without their support the event wouldnt have flown through properly.. Thank you guys for the space and your amazing service..
Nice Bohemian-like experience.
Nice spot for chill hangs, or a small event. If you love to sit and chat with a glass this place is great. They have craft beer, and ciders as well.
Great place for a casual glass of wine with a friend, or for a small get together with a group. Diverse selection of wine and bartenders are very knowledgeable. Atmosphere is warm and cozy. Definitely recommend.
Great wine selection and nice staff! The porch swing is my favorite part about this place (besides the Hunky Dory wine of course). Food selection is pretty slim and just ok. Im really just there for the wine and the swing. The art inside is a nice touch too! I always tend to go before it gets crowded so Ive never had issues finding a cozy corner.
Cool, unique atmosphere with art to look at and fun seating. Wine by the glass is on the price side but we enjoyed our date night stop here.
Great atmosphere. Perfect for a face to face or sharing some good times with friends. Special mention to the excellent playlist of feel-good music. Just one minor thing. I wish the gentleman who served us was more pleasant, joyful and had put a smile on hos face. Other than that, perfect. And the pieces of art on the wall is a plus. Great place to unwind.
Such a cute little rustic wine bar. The decor is great. Wine selection is great. Great seating!
One of my favorite places in all of Raleigh! The best atmosphere and great wine. It’s perfect for a date night or a night with the girls!
Very nice place! Chill atmosphere!
So I do like vita vite very much. I felt this particular visit I didnt get a ton of personal interaction or comment from the bartender. It was pretty much hands off and I had to ask for a food menu. But wine is good. Wish there were more specials. But I do enjoy it overall.
Great wine, charcuterie, and atmosphere. One of my go-to places to meet up with friends.
Like a 3.5? On my visit, the staff was not friendly or helpful, but the space is lovely, the wine good, and the price fair.
Love this place for a classy ladies’ night! Great decor, vibes, and small plates.
Love the wine and food selection. The atmosphere is relaxed.
Great place to hang out over a glass or bottle of wine. The outdoor patio area is wonderful, but the inside is gorgeous in a modern-rustic way. The wine selection rotates out and theres something for almost anyone. Theres very few beers, but there are beers on tap. The appetizers were excellent and perfectly portioned. I recommend grabbing a small plate and sharing with someone over a glass!
Great place to hang out and have some delicious wine!
I loved being able to see interesting artwork while I enjoyed my wine. I would definitely return with a group or solo.
Great place downtown for Wine and Beer!
The kind of place you go to after work to gossip. Great atmosphere and has a nice selection of wines.
Two words. Love and impressed. The atmosphere is fantastic. The wine- delicious. I was personally given a wine after explaining a few different times Im usually drawn to. The owner, which I met that night, was so perfect in her professional, yet passionate advice that she absolutely nailed the wine she had me try. Whether youre out for a special occasion or need a girls night out, this authentic spot offers it all. 5 stars isnt enough!
I have to be honest in saying that Ive never been here during peak hours but I intend to keep it that way. One of my favorite spots to stop by and do some after work, work before heading home. Plenty of space, friendly staff, reasonable prices, in a comfortable setting. I dont find the wine list to be very extensive which I like but understand is difficult to manage. Im a sucker for a wine bar so maybe Im biased but I cant think of anything negative to say about Vita Vite. :)
Great little wine bar tucked into a quiet street. The space is large and comfortable. They are always thoughtful about the wines they have available and in the warmer months you must try the frosé.Food is available and the space is also an art gallery. Check it out!
I love this place. The atmosphere, the wine, the art its a perfect place to take a date or hang with good friends. I went for the first time a couple weeks ago on date night and returned this past weekend with friends. This will be my new hang out. Great place.
Great spot for wine and relaxation! Comphy couches and chairs. Beautiful space.
Excellent wine bar to unwind, see some art and chill. Love the outdoor area with the fireplace and swing. Great for low key pregame or romantic date night
Nice wine, OK appetizers. Nice staff, nice atmosphere.
I guess if you like wine and millenials this would be a great place to be.
Fantastic service. The ambiance outside is relaxed and casual. They have a giant porch swing that you can pile like 3-4 people on as you drink the night away.
A wonderful and relaxing memory I will never forget.
Beautiful bar, reasonable prices! Love this spot for wine and charcuterie boards!
Do you like wine? Do you enjoy a good time? That is what I thought!
Really nice asian fusion small plates!
One of the best hidden gems in raleigh. They have a gorgeous space, a wonderful wine list, and great snacks. The build your own charcuterie is so great
Beautiful atmosphere, great wines by the glass. A great date spot or classy chill spot
A mix between an art gallery and a wine bar. Great atmosphere and good drink selection. The desserts are bite-sized so dont expect to share one.
Went for a bridal shower. Its a beautiful place with a very nice selection of wine.
Helpful bartenders and beautiful atmosphere. Ive been multiple times now and love trying new wines and charcuterie boards. Comfortable seating arrangements as well as local art decor. Great for dates or with an intimate group of friends.
This place is simply stunning... a beautiful day spot to sit outside and enjoy the city... or a date night with the one you love... a wide range of wine selections... and a back room if you wanted to host a gathering at this venue.. A must go treat!!!
I enjoy the place to spend time with friends drinking wine and enjoying the charcuterie plates.
A little over rated in my opion. Wine selection is slim. Good seatting is hard because its so packed. Hard to order a drink without being rude while leaning over someone sitting at the bar. Food looked good and staff was friendly.
My friends and I discovered this magical place at random on a Saturday afternoon. They have charcuterie boards and so many wines. The contemporary inside design is very eye-gasmic and my favorite part? The swing outside. Its comfy nd big enough for 3 people to sit. There are blankets as well. Great treasure find :)
I absolutely am in love with this place. It is gorgeous inside with a nice selection of wines by the glass. Howecer, the real kicker for me were the cheese plates. instead of being forced to get something youre not a fan of because youre in the mood for some charcuterie, they let you choose your own. Being super picky, that saved my life. I want to LIVE at vita vite. Needless to say, I want to become a regular :)
Great service and selection. Fantastic atmosphere. Get the pimento cheese!
Very loud place even when it’s not overly crowded. Seating makes it awkward to walk in and try to hunt for a place to sit. And then you go to order and you aren’t sure if you’re supposed to go to the bar or not. There’s also a random room in the back with significantly brighter lighting. Overall it’s got good wine and a cool concept, just poor execution. I hope it improves.
Had a very good and reasonably priced bottle of wine with a nice serving of hummus and olives. Ppl seemed nice. Artwork was quite pricey; some deservedly so & others not so much. Would go again and might up my review...
Beautiful interior design that creates such a welcoming atmosphere to sit for awhile to enjoy good drinks with loved ones. Staff is attentive and friendly. Love the summer frosé specialty drink!
My staple for a before dinner drink. I always love the wine selection, which frequently changes. You are surrounded by local artwork and perfectly cozy furniture. If you can grab the outdoor swing, get it.
Love, love, love Vita Vite. The atmosphere is amazing. I have been here for girls nights, date nights, menu appts with caterer, photographer, etc. Its awesome. The only thing I wish, that they had more sparkling wine options.
I really, really love this place! Theres plenty of seating. Comfy swing and armchairs on the covered patio. We watched it rain cats and dogs from the patio, so no worries on the weather. Theres also a cool art gallery in the back where you can hang out. I really liked Hunky Dory (Sauvignon Blanc). Warning: The pickles that come with the pimento cheese are SPICCCCCY.
There simply is no better place for a relaxing glass (or more!) of wine and the best cheese selections you can ever dream of. The burrata is as good as any weve ever had anywhere!
Ive been here a handful of times now and I absolutely adore Vita Vite! I love their selection of wine and the little bar nibbles are tasty. They rotate different meats and cheeses for a make your own charcuterie style and the bread and olive oil is a nice tasty combo. Inside, its super cozy--cute embroidered barstools, comfy oversized chairs near the fireplace, and lots of pretty art for purchase.Definitely a fantastic place to go with the girls or for a relaxing nice out with your significant other.
Good place, nice atmosphere, yummy gluten free crackers and hummus, thank you for the options! The wine and cider options were good too. Bartenders were friendly.
Great place to get a drink after work. Parking is difficult to find. Limited but nice cheese plate selection.
It was a good experience. I would like to see a larger selection of red wine, its good, but I would expect more of them, given its a wine place. I would definitely go back again.
Great wine selection and delicious smacks to accompany. Grab a glass and go seeing on the big swing on the patio out front. This place is perfect for book club, date night, and quality time with your girls.
Modern and artistic atmosphere. Eclectic seating. Great wine at reasonable prices.
I like to go here for the wine and staff. We are always treated like gold. Meat and cheese plate is very well done.
Came here with some friends on a Saturday night and split a bottle of wine. Im not much of a wine connoisseur but they had a large selection and even a handful of beers. Very relaxed vibe here. They had a few board games on hand so we sat at a small table inside and played Catan for almost 2 hours until they closed up at midnight. Vita Vite is definitely a good quiet bar to un*wine*d and not have to worry about crowds.
Experience was far better this time around.
Nice venue for small events.
Excellent choice of wines and friendly staff.
We walked in on Saturday afternoon to try something new and different. My partner sat down and I walked up to the bar, After about 10 minutes of waiting I was not greeted or have someone say to me we will be right with you. Serving other guests but still let someone know you will take care of them shortly.Very disappointed so we just walked out. Always need to greet a customer.
Cool vibe. Nice wine and beer selection, and very interesting rotating art gallery
Great wine selection and inviting place to chill with friends. Cozy inside and out seating.
Very cool place
Nice selection of wine and pairings with board games and lounge to relax with friends
I love this place! Wonderful staff, great wine, excellent cheese plates, and you have to try the hot pickles!
Such a relaxed enviornment. definitely a good Sunday chill spot
Wonderful wine and appetizer selection. Great atmosphere.
They have Lushies!
Great selection of wines. Their cheese selection is top notch.
If you want to relax with some wine (or beer) with comfort and a bit of style, this is your place. I am in love with the decor and concept - theres some art to gaze at, fire places and comfortable couches to cuddle up in, coffee tables to rest your feet on (welll, thats likely frowned upon), high tops and big tables for some serious talkers, sizeable bar, and a satisfactory menu to select from. I think they could put a few more choices on the menu, but I give a thumbs up to the ones they do have. Bonus: they have games! Bananagrams all night long if that strikes your fancy. Vita Vite is definitely my go-to vino location from now on. Cant wait to go back and chill out in the outdoor seating. Theres even a swing couch!
Perfect place to relax and catch up with a friend with a glass of yummy wine.
Great wine bar, excellent date night spot
Very cool place. Great place to chill and talk.
Fancy over priced wine. They have cool couches - i would consider working there instead of starbucks. Only benefit tho.
Always a cool, quiet laid back atmosphere to slowly enjoy wine, light snacks and good company!
