Brunello Wine Bar

4.8

123 Market St
Durham, NC 27701
Visit Website

Brunello is known for its diverse menu of natural wines made by small winemakers from lesser-known corners of the winemaking world. You'll often find friendly owner Esteban Brunello behind the bar, willing and eager to educate you on orange and purple wines. The tasting series events can sell out quickly, so move quickly to reserve your spot if interested!

A lovely wine bar with a wonderful selection of orange wine! I stopped by again on my birthday a few weeks ago, and was warmly welcomed by the owner Esteban. I think Brunello focuses more on the wine than the bar. In other words, it’s a great place to try out and get educated on new wine, but it’s less “vibe-y” as a bar. I wonder if softer chairs/a couch would help. Overall highly recommend!!

We were BIG fans of the original Brunello and were quite sad to see it go. This was our first visit since they re-opened in their new space and, while the space/atmosphere isn't as funky and eclectic as the original space, it's got a pretty good vibe. Pretty sure we were waited on by the owner, who was sooo nice and immensely helpful in assisting us in choosing a bottle of wine to share. He listened to what we like, answered some of our questions, and steered us to an absolutely wonderful bottle. We will be back for sure!

We have already been back twice within a week! We loved the wine selection and that all the wines are natural and unique. Esteban was very nice, knowledgeable and helpful in not only selecting wine but giving us great bar and restaurant recommendations. This is going to be our go to spot :)
