The Wine Whisperer is a wine shop and bistro located in Richmond's Short Pump neighborhood. We speak wine and are passionate about sharing your new favorite bottle or glass with you!

Our wine bar is designed to offer an immersive experience to our guests. Let our knowledgeable staff help you learn about your palate and curate a flight of wine just for you! Look for a rotating by the glass list, craft beers, more whiskey than you imagined, and an expansive food menu built for wine pairing. The intimate dining room is a perfect spot for a casual glass with friends or that special occasion date. Look for weekly wine tastings, monthly classes, and other special events that are uniquely Whisperer!

No reservations available? Give us a call or stop by; we save a number of tables each night for walk-in guests. For questions or to make a reservation for a larger party, please call or send a message.

  • Stump the Somm Dinner: The Rematch

    US$150.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Jan 30, 2025 only
    Who paired it best? It’s a battle of the palates... a showdown of the somms… a test to determine WHO PAIRED IT BETTER?! This past summer, Jenna and Amber went head-to-head on pairing wines across a menu of, well, difficult pairings. You came. You tasted. You voted. And Jenna took home the title of World’s Greatest Food and Wine Pairer*! This year, Amber wants another chance, and she’s not holding back. Join us for a five course tasting menu with each course paired alongside two wines… one pick from Jenna, reigning champion, and one pick from Amber, eager to prove herself. If you missed this event last year, you really missed something special. Close out your damp January with a bang! $150 per person (plus tax and gratuity).

    What another wonderful experience! The service, as always, was absolutely some of the best in the city. The food and wine were equally delicious and paired perfectly. Thank you, Amber and Alex, for helping to make our date night so special.

    Great local gem for date night or girls night. The team is very knowledgeable and service is great. Intimate patio space open during the spring/summer. Indoor ambiance has a romantic vibe. Great food selection that compliments any preference in wine.

    We always enjoy visiting Wine Whisperer. The team members take pains to see that we enjoy our wine and have a delicious meal. Jenna spent extra time telling us about the wine. Alex, Josh and Taylor provided exceptional service. And Amber stopped to say hello. You won’t find a better dining experience in Richmond!
