Equal parts wine shop, bar and community hangout, LouElla offers a large selection of wines, expertly curated craft and international beers and non-alcoholic options like Phony Negronis and hemp-infused drinks. Stop by in the afternoon or early evening to find crowds relaxing on the front patio and around the bar, pups in tow. Free wine tastings on Saturday afternoons always draw a lively group.

I stopped by to scope things out for my wife. Finally a wine store that's got more of a bar vibe than store vibe that also has some great choices by the glass. I had 2 tastings and enjoyed the gamay the most, though I certainly would knock down the white bordeaux for awhile in this heat--great prices and real wine in a nice atmosphere. The servers behind the bar were very nice and quick to help everyone. 5 stars.

Love this place. Great neighborhood feel, extensive selection from around the world and the staff are very welcoming and always want to help you make the best choice. Prices are very reasonable too! Pizza next door and close to motorco for food too.

Louella is truly a neighborhood establishment. They have a small and kind staff. After a few visits they will know you like an old friend. It’s a homey and warm environment with an incredible selection of wine, a very good selection of beers and a few fun options of spritz, sangria and sake.
Their weekly free tastings are such a great way to learn about new varietals and regions of with wine world.
Recently they added boxed cheese and charcuterie plates, which is literally a perfect date night addition!
If you live in or are visiting Durham, Louella is a must!

Love having this place in the neighborhood. They are so knowledgeable about wine, but in a really friendly and personable way. They also have really fun tastings pretty much every Saturday. The people watching on the patio is also fun.

These guys are so cool! Not only do they let dogs in, I feel like the workers here legimately want to get to know you and find you a good bottle of wine. My group accidentally stayed a little past their closing time (sorry!) and they were so chill about it and even chatted us up for the last little bit.
