Mermaid Winery & Restaurant

Wine Enthusiast's Hampton Roads guide describes Mermaid Winery as the region's urban winery, producing in Norfolk's Ghent since 2012. Beyond the by-the-glass list, it makes wine on site, which is what puts it in the wineries column rather than only among wine bars. Visit to taste the house production alongside the broader international pours. Norfolk's anchor for city-made wine.

Picks from Wine Enthusiast and Coastal Virginia Magazine

Coastal Virginia Magazine's 5 to Try wine-bars feature named Mermaid Winery, which pours from a list the magazine put at around 800 international wines. The Granby Street original in downtown Norfolk works as both an urban winery and a proper wine bar, with a second Virginia Beach room under the same ownership. Come for a flight and a cheese board off the deep by-the-glass list.
