Finding the wine and loving it.

There’s something truly special about a perfect day in downtown Yellow Springs. The kind of day where the sun is warm, the streets are buzzing, and the wine is flowing. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or someone who simply enjoys a great glass, this little corner of Ohio is full of surprises, and unforgettable sips.

Start your tasting adventure at Winds Cafe Wine Cellar, right next to the beloved Winds Café. This cozy, curated shop is a haven for those who appreciate thoughtfully selected wines. From velvety reds to crisp whites and everything in between, each bottle has been chosen with intention. The staff know their stuff and are more than happy to help you discover a new favorite—whether you’re planning a dinner, hosting friends, or just treating yourself to something exceptional.

Then make your way to Emporium Wines & Underdog Café, a downtown staple with serious wine street cred. This funky, welcoming spot is home to the most extensive biodynamic wine collection in the region. These wines are made using organic practices and natural fermentation, delivering bold, expressive flavors that are as unique as the village itself. From bright and juicy rosés to earthy, natural reds, you’ll find bottles here that are hard to come by anywhere else.

And here’s the best part, if you’re looking for wine by the glass or interested in enjoying it with Friday Night live music, you’re in luck.  At Emporium, you can sit back with a glass in hand while local musicians fill the air with tunes. The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and full of character-just like the wines they serve.

So, whether you’re swirling a glass on the patio, picking out a bottle for dinner, or dancing to live music with a bold red in hand, Yellow Springs has you covered. Because perfect days and perfect wines go hand in hand, and this village knows exactly how to pour both. 🍷
