There is little that can beat ending an evening at a wine bar. It was a nightcap of the highest order, the finishing touches on what was a progressive dinner of sorts, starting at the local brewery, migrating a few steps west to eat, meandering back to the brewery, and then aiming toward Crimson House a few blocks away. New Smyrna Beach is lucky to have all of this going on, and being such a walkable town makes it even better.
I went with a couple of reds, first a standard issue Cabernet Sauvignon, and then one that more closely resembled a Tempranillo. Think dry and dryer. Crimson House sources their wins from across the US, as well as South America, so you’re never forced to drink locally if you don’t want to. Besides, it is hard for southern wineries to produce a dry wine unless they buy their grapes from the west, because the local grape—the Muscadine—is so sweet. It was refreshing to have such a nice selection from which to choose.
Our family gathering of five sat on the front porch around a small table. The evening was perfect, the ambience on-point inside and out. Soft lighting on the inside, lines of Edison bulbs illuminating both the porch and sprawling garden seating area, and live music made for a delightful finale. We’ll...
Read moreI can not speak more highly of this venue and it's incredible owners and staff! I booked Crimson House to host my rehearsal dinner on March 17, 2023... St. Patrick's Day during spring break....needless to say Crimson House was almost the only venue willing to accommodate my family and friends of 30 people on this day. Linda was so communicative and helped with with planning our menu; which was absolutely DELICIOUS! My friends and family were raving about the food all weekend; we had charcuterie, meatballs, mac & cheese, pork sliders, dessert, and a variety of other small bites. We also had the bar available for beer and wine service; and it was so convenient and perfect for our group. Crimson House set everything up on the back lawn for us and kept me informed the entire time we were there.
The outdoor space of this venue is the exact vibe I was hoping for; I want it to be casual, social, comfortable for everyone. This venue DID NOT disappoint. Everyone had a blast and we could not be happier with our experience. Thank you so much Linda and the Crimson House for a perfect...
Read moreWhether you’re looking to stop in and enjoy a great glass of wine or looking for an amazing party venue, Crimson House has got you covered. I organized a 60th birthday party for one of my friends, it was amazing! The owner, Linda, couldn’t have been more accommodating. So helpful in making food / quantity suggestions as we had a pretty good crowd. Party was on a Sunday afternoon which worked perfectly as there was already live music scheduled! We were set up in our own area outside under the tree canopy (beautiful) next to the outdoor bar making it extremely convenient to grab a beer or glass of wine. It was the perfect day! Aside from having an event there, my husband and I stop in regularly and always enjoy chatting with Linda and the staff who make us feel right at home and really know their wines! Whether you’re a local or visiting the New Smyrna Beach area, please don’t hesitate to stop in and check out Crimson House. You won’t be...
