Swirlery Wine Bar

I love Swirlery and I've been coming here for years.  It's a very small wine bar that frequently offers tastings and pairings.  The owner, Melissa, is sweet and knowledgeable.  They do not typically serve food, but some nights they do pairings or have events catered.  Their wine selection is incredible and they are always getting new stuff.  The location is off Michigan Avenue.  The parking lot is to the side and a bit small.  The only bad thing about this place is how far it is from my house.

Melissa is a very knowledgeable Super Sommelier. The business appears to be a wine bar but they also do sales to go also. The selection is extensive with wines available from anywhere imaginable, including some from Greece, Slovenia, Lebanon ... Wines are available by the glass but bottle pricing is the way to go. If you don't finish the bottle, they will package it up for you to take home. More...

Just spent a private wine tasting/birthday celebration with friends and the owner Melissa and it was Ah-Maz-Ing!!!!!!!!! ! Melissa went out of her way to make everything perfect and even personalized the wine tasting to our friend’s home country! I can’t rave enough about this place and will definitely be back! Thank you Melissa! More...

This place is amazing! Had a birthday party for my sister there along with a private tasting by Melissa! We were able to decorate the space and Melissa was so helpful the whole day! The wine was also amazing! I would definitely recommend for anyone throwing a party or just hanging out trying some good wine! Her selection is impressive as well! More...

Wow! Very impressed by this place. It as my first visit, but they've been open for four years. It's a small wine bar with a little parking lot, a little dark inside and FULL of wine bottles. You'd think the owner was a hoarder, but then you realize it's just wine bottles, so you love her even more. I was greeted upon entry and offered a table. I came on a wine and food pairing night. They don't typically offer food, but they partnered with uncommon catering that night to offer Slovenian, Hungarian and Croatian wines with Korean bao buns. Yum! The bartender came by with a large wine list. Most of the wines listed were by the bottle and there were more wines in the shop than on the list! I asked for a buttery, oakey, Chardonnay and Melissa, the sommelier chimed in- get her the Ventanna! She made a perfect suggestion. I loved the wine. I sipped while I waited for my friends and soaked in the place. Lots of locals were coming in. The place was filling up. Melissa served me a sample of a rosé they are going to order. I'm not a rosé fan but this one was delicious! Very atypical. Unique. When the gang arrived, we ordered bao buns and I got half glasses of wine for each bun. I've never heard wine from Croatia, Slovenia or Hungary. These were all white wines and rosés. All were good, but the Ventanna Chardonnay was still my favorite. Staff was friendly and accommodating, bringing us more chairs are more arrived and keeping our wine glasses and water glasses full. We shut the place down! We did not feel rushed. Bathroom is stocked and clean. Parking is minimal so come early, Uber or park on the street. Bring your wallet and a shopping bag. There are a lot of bottles for sale at great prices. Bottles you can't find most places. We bought two different reds that night and enjoyed them there. One was $30, it was a supertuscan. The other was a California can, $75. Very pleased with this place. Wish it was closer to my home. Will visit again! More...

Fantastic little whole the wall place right off Michigan in Orlando. Parking can be difficult at times, but tonight was worth it. There was a pop up event that catered food at this normally wine only establishment. My favorite wine is moscato and they only had it by the bottle which was fine. The bottle was tasty and affordable. There is a larger menu option for other reds and white wines and the staff are knowledgeable. If you're looking for a place to just chill and relax with some friends try this place out. (Just be aware when it's really crowded the air conditioning is not the best.) More...

There are maybe a handful of spots in the US like Swirlery.Let's take a trip, shall we? Imagine someone in your friend group who is a sommelier. You've hung out with the crew for a bit, and you get invited to a small get together at this Somm friend's house. You get there, and it's decorated kinda funky, kinda simple, pretty much what you would expect how the home of an industry person might be.Then the hostess realizes you're the one wine "newbie" and runs over to you and spends the rest of the night with you. Sure, she chats with the rest of the folks at the party, and she should, they're all her best friends. But you, you're her new best friend. And she wants you to know everything about wine that she knows. And not once does it become pretentious. She wants you to know everything on your own terms.This is basically the business model at Swirlery. Amazing wine selections, attentive service, never pretentious. More...

Great place to wind down and relax. Melissa was an amazing host. They offer amazing selections of wine and have an exquisite cheese plate, especially to share. They have live music at night that are great vibes and a great times. Quaint small atmosphere for chatting and socializing with your best friends and family. Perfect for wine beginners and wine enthusiasts. Also have food trucks from time to time that are a great pairing for wine nights with friends and who might tag along. More...

I love Swirlery!! We have been here many a time to do grab a couple glasses and decompress. The parking is just off to the side and in the afternoon it's pretty open. Once inside you can sit at the bar or tables. The bar is made of a tree cut with a polished finish. Really neat. I recommend sitting up there if you can. Specials are on the chalkboard to the right wall of the bar. They carry both wine and beer. Wine list is the more extensive one. Staff here is really nice. Very friendly and makes everyone feel like a welcome local. If you have questions, they're really knowledgeable too!! Try something new!Overall; A++Love local bars, and a WINE bar is even better! Try out a new thing and find new discoveries! More...

I first visited this wine bar a little over 2 months ago. It quickly became my favorite spot in Orlando. The wines are expertly selected by the co-owner and Advanced Sommelier, Melissa. There are consistently events going on at this place too, from movie nights to blind tastings. The blind tastings are a tremendous help to anyone aspiring to have a career in wine or pass wine exams. I am just starting to get into wine myself and I feel like every time I visit Swirlery, I learn something new. The thing that really puts this wine bar over the top is that the owners are some of the most genuine, warm, and fun people you will ever meet. Stop what you are doing right now and go visit Swirlery! More...

Easily one of the best wine bars in Orlando. I went with a friend on a Thursday night and we sat at the bar. The vibe is warm and chill. Melissa (the owner and sommelier) treated my friend and I like we were VIPs. Lots of great wine (by the glass or bottle) for a good price, and a delicious cheese plate for pairing. Highly recommended. More...

I have been passing by this establishment coming in and out of work for a few  years. Well , tonight was the night!!!! Wow I've been blown away. Hospitality was awesome . Wine selection great. They went above and beyond to find a wine to accommodate two different palates. Everyone was super friendly . Ambience was quaint. Melissa was amazing. Our water and/or wine glass were never empty . This place needs some big pillowy couches; then we may never leave ;-) More...

Great place to enjoy and learn about wine without any pretense. This is a welcoming environment for all and a fantastic place to build knowledge of wine without breaking the bank. The owners and staff go out of their way to bring in the best and most affordable wines for purchase and especially for tastings. Food and music help keep the atmosphere light and interactive.
