Niko's Wine Cellar — Restaurant in Snellville

THIS PLACE IS A HIDDEN GEM!!!!

For starters, upon arrival I was expecting for this to just be another liquor store... However, it's soooo much more!

The owner Regina is such a breath of fresh air and she's so hospitable that you can tell from the groups of people who constantly visit on a weekly basis.

You can definitely just come to the shop to purchase your wine but they also offer memberships, classes, tastings, and special days every week.

On Thursday's you can come for wine tasting. You'd pay an affordable price to taste 5-6 wines. They're always different and you'd have someone walking you through the information of the wine as well as answering any questions you may have. You can even bring your own food and just chill here. The vibe is low-key and you'll even start to meet the regulars who come religiously!

Then on every 3rd Friday of the month they also offer food and wine pairing. I attended this event for the first time in June and we didn't just have some basic food. We ate a good steak with veggies, potatoes and bread. We tried several wines and played games guessing the wines with the knowledge we'd picked up from the class and it was just a beautiful, laid back event to attend.

All in all, I would highly recommend making the drive. It's black owned, filled with love and learning, and just a great community if you're looking for a more grown and chill group of people to get connected with.

My husband and I decided to try out a wine tasting at Niko's on 4/6 since it would be Spring Break for our children and they were going to be out of town. We purchased the wine tasting online in advance (3/27). Unfortunately we were unable to participate in the wine tasting because it was canceled. We were given no notice and only found out about the cancellation when we showed up on that Thursday. We were told that an email was sent out regarding the cancellation. Neither of us ever received that. In fact, we received confirmation texts and emails about 15 minutes prior to the tasting. We were also told that they posted a message about the cancellation on the website. I checked their website, instagram, and facebook and saw no such message about a cancellation. Fortunately for us we did not live very far away, but imagine if we had traveled to participate in this tasting...!

We were told that the tasting was canceled since it was Spring Break and "a lot of people were out of town..." I asked for our money back and the person at the front desk was apparently unaware that people could even pay for the wine tasting in advance. We were told that we would have to contact someone (the owner I guess?) to get our money back. I sent a message through the website to make them aware of our dissatisfaction and requested a refund. I finally received confirmation of our refund today (4/11/2023) with no apology. We will not be...

Soooo…I would like to tell you all about a Gem that I found in Snellville, GA… I was greatly affected by Hurricane Ian and couldn’t get back to my home due to all of the devastation. I decided to get my nails done and find some wine tasting nearby! I found this Gem and I was not disappointed at all! I tasted all kinds of wine for less than $20 and met the owner who was very down-to-earth!!! It wasn’t hard to see why she has so many loyal customers of all different backgrounds and ages, of course, not under 21. I danced as this is an intimate space! The event is called “Happy Hour,” with a wine bar that’s half off and I believe it’s from 5:30p-9p! Don’t quote me please check the website. Caleb is an absolute sweetheart and I just felt so welcomed at such a tumultuous time! This business has bottles of wine in sizes I just haven’t encountered! I was served cheese, crackers, and a charcuterie board of items! It was absolutely a vibe, ting, and relaxing! It has been awhile since I’ve had this type of experience! It’s giving extremely classy vibes! I will be a returning patron...
