First look: The Lady Vintner wine bar in Rockville (Photos)

The window coverings have been removed at The Lady Vintner wine bar at 42 Maryland Avenue in Rockville Town Center. Located in the ground floor of the BLVD 44 apartment building, the craft-beer-and-wine bar and retail store has been in the works for about a year, following the closure of previous tenant Pour Vino N' Hops. The 1300-square-foot space will offer a diverse selection of high-quality wine and beer, an in-house sommelier, and a specially-curated food menu including paninis, flatbreads, charcuterie, fine cheeses, and more. It is scheduled to open in "early spring," which means very soon - stay tuned for an opening date.

The Lady Vintner "coming soon" in Rockville

The Lady Vintner is "coming soon" to Rockville Town Center, according to a banner posted at its future storefront at 42 Maryland Avenue, in the ground floor of the BLVD 44 apartment building. A woman-owned beer-and-wine shop and bar, The Lady Vinter will offer a diverse selection of high-quality wine and beer, an in-house sommelier, and a specially-curated food menu including paninis, flatbreads, charcuterie, fine cheeses, and more.

"We are thrilled to announce the launch of our innovative wine and beer shop, The Lady Vintner," owner Ciara Cedeno said in a statement. "We invite patrons to savor, discover, and unwind in our inclusive space. Join us as we uncork a new chapter in Rockville’s culinary scene."

The 1300-square-foot wine bar will fill the space vacated by Pour Vino N' Hops. A permanent sign has been installed over the storefront, and is already lit up.

Rockville Pike Craft Beer & Wine opens (Photos)

Rockville Pike Craft Beer & Wine has opened at 1800-D Rockville Pike, in the ground floor of The Galvan apartments near the Twinbrook Metro station. The interior looks modern and sleek, and they have a nice bar and tasting area in the front part of the store. Certainly a much-appreciated addition for residents of the building.
