Pinheiro Wine Bar and Shop
Formed out of Sergio Ramos's love of wine, Pinheiro - Vinho e Vida is a wine bar where "education meets exploration." Old East Durham’s new wine bar is exactly the kind of neighborhood haunt that doubles as a date night destination. Pinheiro is a Portuguese wine shop and bar run by Sergio Ramos, who worked in the music industry before becoming a Certified Specialist of Wine. Growing up in a very Portuguese-influenced town on Long Island and tracing his family roots to Portugal itself (as well as Brazil), Ramos invites patrons to explore the broad range of wines — ranging from vinho verde to port — available from the sometimes-overlooked nation neighboring wine heavyweight Spain. Head to this East Durham spot to try new wines, connect with friends or enjoy a glass solo with a good book.

This is a wonderful, local Portuguese inspired European style wine bar. The owner is Portuguese and has brought over some of his favorite flavors from across the pond. Delicious wine offerings, with a small snack variety (currently, but planning to expand), and a very cozy space to enjoy some good wine and conversation.
If you haven't checked this new local gem out yet, you're definitely missing out. -
This is a great find in the Triangle. It’s the only true Portuguese Wine Bar I have found in the area. There are very cute cultural touches that reminds me of Portugal from the artwork to the table clothes. The atmosphere is great. The wine selection is amazing, with reds and whites from various regions in Portugal. Feels truly authentic.

I can’t say enough GREAT things about Pinhiero!! The wines are unexpected, delicious and Sergio, the owner, always knows exactly what I’m looking for (even if I don’t). There are fun pop ups with regional wine makers and food carts (who knew a sparkling wine pairs perfect with a hot dog). But the most important thing is the atmosphere that the owners Sergio and Gina have created - they are so incredibly welcoming. You walk into Pinhiero like you’re walking into your friend’s home. We moved into East Durham shortly after they opened, but Pinhiero has quickly become the heartbeat of our neighborhood, cozy, warm, and impossible not to love. 10/10 recommend 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
