The story

From the Hunter Valley to Pamlico Street

A shop for people who already know what they like, and for people who have no idea yet.

  1. Age 23

    Hunter Valley, Australia

    Selling memberships for Hunter Valley Wines, where a passing interest in wine turned into the real thing.

  2. 2022

    The Backroom opens in Belhaven

    A haven for wine lovers in downtown Belhaven, with every bottle on the shelf picked by hand.

  3. Today

    More than a shop

    A tasting room, a monthly wine club, a Pay it Forward board and a calendar full of tastings and get-togethers.

Inside the shop

Come for a bottle. Stay for a glass.

  • Wines from around the world

    Hundreds of bottles, from everyday pours to cellar-worthy splurges, and the shelves change constantly.

  • A glass poured out front

    Sit down in the tasting room and try something before you take it home.

  • Gifts worth giving

    Reviewers call the gifts spectacular. Come see what’s on the table this week.

  • Your next favorite

    Tell us what you drank last and what you’re cooking. We’ll find you the next one.
