The best (and at great prices) wine from farmers. I love that they make space for lesser known wine makers and wines. Not only is their ethos and what they stand for as a business amazing, but the people who work there bring a special kind of magic to every interaction. Their Saturday wine tastings have quickly become a part of our weekly routine, but their Tuesday tastings are just as special and incredibly intimate.

Super comfortable. Great selection. Many enjoyable conversations with staff and fellow customers. Tuesday tasting a great time. And a Viv’s Fridge right out front.

I love Wine Authorities! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and they have a great selection. I love to come to the tastings and learn about wine- as someone who doesn't know very much, the expertise shared is fascinating without being intimidating at all. We are so lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood!

One of my favorite stores in Durham! I have never had a bad experience shopping at Wine authorities. The staff are all super knowledgeable. I’ll often come in and ask for a recommendation based on a meal I am preparing and they always deliver. They also offer good discounts when buying in bulk.

All of the employees are so kind and helpful, and have great recommendations! I also haven’t had a bad wine from here yet. The prices are fair and they provide tasting notes for each bottle, as well as a special 6 bottles for $76 deal that changes each month.

I recently had the opportunity to stop in this wonderful little wine store in Durham. I was very pleased at the selection of wines on offer and the great pricing. Since then, I have been able to sample several of the wines that I bought, and they are all great. These are small production wines that you can't find just anywhere. Great service, too.
