Had a wonderful time here. The staff was beyond friendly and knowledgeable.Did a wine tasting and there was a large selection to choose from. They also serve your tasting in nice glasses which makes a difference.Snacks were also offered.They just made it feel like home and it was far from some of the other snooty wine places I’ve visited.They had a different selection of wines that you can’t find in your supermarket.Fun area that you can walk to a few places.Would recommend and I will be back.

Seaboard wines will exceed your expectations for a wine shop! The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I recommend sitting down for a tasting and conversation with the staff, if time allows. It’s a low pressure environment and you are bound discover more about your wine preferences!Great wine club/ deals and dogs are welcome.

I do not drink much wine but I do enjoy making cocktails at home and I don’t know any other shop in Raleigh with a better selection of vermouth, other cocktail ingredient wines, bitters, and cocktail paraphernalia in one location. One of my favorite local bartenders turned me on to this shop and I’m so grateful. Looking around the wine selection is also great and the staff are super helpful.

Who doesn't like Wine down Wednesdays?! I stumbled upon this fabulous wine shop nestled in Highpark Village after work and I am so happy I did. They have an amazing selection of wines and wine accessories. You can grab a bottle off of the shelf and relax in the outside seating available. Don't worry if you don't finish, you can take it with you as they have corkage (with a fee ofc). There are also wine flights available which is what I opted for. The staff were so sweet and informative while providing excellent service. This is such a cute space to unWINE (hehe)!

If you're looking for a go-to wine spot this could be it! The staff is excited to help you find a bottle you'll like and you can even try some at the small bar area. They also do rotating wine flights and have a few outdoor seats to hang out at. Go check it out!

On the 5th day of Black History Month, my friends and I stopped by Seaboard Wine Warehouse during our visit to Raleigh and we're subjected to the rudest business owner I've ever encountered! On a scale of 1-10 I would rate her behavior a zero. We entered Seaboard Wine Warehouse and headed to the back of the warehouse for a tasting and we were told that we couldn't do a tasting because they already had 2 people doing a tasting and they changed the maximum capacity to 12 guests due to the pandemic. Well, after gazing around the room I counted 10ppl including us! I proceeded to say well we're under your 12 person limit that isn't posted anywhere in your wine shop or website. The owner then gave us a spiel about Covid-19 and being unmasked although she had 2 unmasked patrons sitting at the bar. We were dumbfounded. She proceeded to say we could purchase a bottle, but we couldn't drink it in her establishment. Then, her employee recommended a more "hipster or black friendly" wine establishment for us. Never have I ever experienced this type of blatant racism. I wish the owner would have just said, hey I can't service 6 black girls at once because it's not the image we are going for here a seaboard. Instead of "pretending" it was a fear of CoVid-19! Because if that was the case we could have all produced our vaccine cards.

Decided to go to Seaboard Wine Warehouse as part of a birthday girls trip. We were excited to try the establishment as the star rating on Yelp hyped it up. This excitement quickly changed as we were rudely greeted at the door by who I'm assuming to be an owner. Coming from a mask mandated State we were all prepared to keep our facial masks on our person, and entered with them on. My cousin was adjusting her face mask and was verbally accosted by one of the women in charge. After the harsh greeting, we were then told that we were unable to be serviced due to Covid and other new rules that had not been posted on the door or store website(we always check businesses online prior to patronizing). We asked about their tasting procedures but the owner kept citing Covid and not being able to serve us, even though other patrons were maskless and being serviced at the bar. Coming from a state that had/has strict Covid guidelines we understand procedures, but also coming from the business model, there was no opportunity to think outside of the box to support future patrons. Had the owner offered a solution, such as, due to my capacity, I can do tastings in sections, or I can suggest you guys be on a wait and when the party leaves, we can best accommodate, or even offer some top selling wines to purchase to go. None of those scenarios took place, instead, we were ran out of an establishment with the feeling that because we were African American women that we weren't deserving of service or worth a bottle of wine.
