🍷 Vintage Vibrancy at The Vineyard Wine Bar & Healthy Bistro
“Between our regulars and staff, there’s a special experience here,“ says Hannah, Promotions and Events Manager at The Vineyard, “it’s a great place to come if you’re trying to find a small wine club.”
The Vineyard is nestled in The Grove Plaza of Windermere, offering a wine bar and healthy bistro. The elevated environment holds wine walls, brick textures, and chandeliers, though maintains a cozy, intimate setting with dim lighting and wood tones. The coziness is emphasized by the friendliness of the team, where tables are labeled by name rather than number. The restaurant occasionally hosts outdoor entertainment from various local musicians or performers.
With a small kitchen packing an impressive punch, take a sight of our bites!
🧀 Charcuterie
This charcuterie plate features an assortment of cheese, including berry-covered goat cheese, burrata drizzled in balsamic sauce, and salami-wrapped mozzarella. The charcuterie bites range from prosciutto to salami. The apricot fig spread holds a sweetness that brings out the cheese and charcuterie tastes.
🐟 Salmon
The Salmon Mille-Feuille features fresh salmon cooked en-papillote for a buttery smooth texture, layered with basil and aged balsamic for a slightly tart depth. The cauliflower purée has a thin, creamy texture that allows the salmon to take center stage.
🍖 Short Rib
The short rib sits atop a bed of mashed Yukon Gold potatoes, cascaded with thick sauce holding a savory taste. The dish is dressed in fava beans that provide a hint of nutty sweetness that brings out the meat’s salty flavor.
🍰 Dessert
The cheesecake has a smooth texture, drizzled in caramel to sweeten each bite. The cake is topped with crumbles of nuts that provide a slight crunch.
The restaurant also serves as a wine shop where bottles along the walls and cellar are priced to take home, sold at average retail prices. The wine cellar is available for business meetings or special occasions, offering tastings and chef table dinners. The Vineyard is also home to an exclusive wine club for visitors seeking to become regulars.
