When I was working in California wine country, I had endless wines at home. However, I did not have an "altar" for my wine.
There was a bottle hiding in the shadows on the counter, some under my bed, and some in a cardboard box in my closet...
That is no way to treat those lovely bottles of wine. Especially when we want to age them *perfectly*.
So, here are 9 totally gorgeous wine bar ideas for your home, some with a nature-loving twist (for my granola girlies out there).
You are sure to find something that sparks your interest and fits your style!

9 Insanely Gorgeous Wine Bar Ideas
Let's dive into these wine bar ideas! I am totally obsessed with them, especially combining different ones you can create a really magical space.
Wine is more than just what's in the bottle *cue magic fair dust*.
1. Two perfect items to fill that one space
A classic wine bar idea is the "detached bar". I don't have a detached wine bar, but it is an excellent choice for those who want a wine bar idea for apartments.
Especially if you are renting a space, you can move these wine bars to your next house or apartment easily!
First up, a delicate wooden wine cabinet with adjustable shelves and a place to hang your wine glasses!
I am obsessed with the wooden accent.
It can double as a bar. Place extra glasses inside, decanters, whiskeys, other wine tools, and more!
(P.S. the wine cabinet in the photo is a different one on the Target website, buuuut the idea is the same).
Next up, if you need more space for your wines or bar supplies, a floating metal wine bar might be your best friend.
Another great option if you already have a detached wine bar and looking to add onto it.
2. One more high class addition...
Now, if you are looking for a more intricate design and want a high-class wine bar idea then this detached wine bar is your go-to!
Features you need to know about:
- LED lights
- Charging station
- Storage space
- Coffee bar
- Buffet space
The bar doubles as a coffee and wine bar, plus use it for buffets when hosting your friends over, and allow it to live on its own with its classy lighting!

3. Calling all the collectors
What about all the bottles of wine you already have who need a lovely little home? Well, these two bottle holder ideas are to die for!
First a bottle holder for 21 bottles, yes 21!
A perfect addition to the side of an already existing wine bar, or to fill the empty corner in your living room. It is basic, but gets the job done in properly storing your wines!
You can get it in a 6 pieces set so you have the freedom to place on your wall wherever you see fit.
AND the wine bottle stays upside down to keep the cork nice and moist!
(Hint hint: pair with chalk board paint below for an irresistible cheeky wine bar idea for your home). Then send me photos *immediately*!
4. What about a chalk board?
Getting a little edgy here, but what about chalk board paint?
Painting one wall with chalk board paint and then placing the spiral bottle holders on top would bring your entire wine bar idea to life.
This gives me earthy jungle vibes, annnnnd I am obsessed!
5. Extra vase? No problem
Take an extra vase from around your home and fill it with wine corks as a wine bar decor idea!
Bear with me...
Use this vase as the symbol for an opened bottled! Place it on your wine bar so you (and all your friends) know that it is open and ready to pour!
When there is no open bottle the cork-filled-vase looks elegant on any countertop.

6. You might need more space
When designing your wine bar at home, you most likely will need more space, or you might just want more space to get creative and make the wine bar unique.
The best way to do this, is put up beautiful wooden shelves.
Below are examples of things to fill your shelves to look classy and artistic.
7. Let's light it up (just a bit)
Candles are the best way to bring elegance to your wine bar idea. Every time I light a candle I forget how amazing they are and how they bring a sense of calm and serenity to a space.
LED candles are a great option to have on your wine bar because you can "set it and forget it". Also, use unscented candles because the scent will not interfere with tasting wines, which is *obviously* so important!
The natural beeswax candles will give your wine bar that organic feel (more on that below) which is always a bonus.
8. Here's one (maybe two) for my nature-lovers
As a nature-inspired wine bar idea, bring the outside in!
Two ways to do this:
- Have lovely plants on and around your wine bar
- Store herb jars on your wine bar for an earthy-girl touch
An amazing wine bar idea is to double your wine bar as an herbal station. Use this space to make herbal teas, tinctures, etc, then in the evening return to your apothecary for your medicinal glass of wine!

The absolute best place to get herbs in bulk is Mountain Rose Herbs (spoiler: they also have tons of books on herbalism).
Then, in addition, adding plants! We all love some good plants in our home and what better place than on our wine bar where we can enjoy them while pouring a glass.

9. Fill them shelves with irresistible grabs
I get into seasons of life where I don't really read that much, and I keep telling myself to crack open a good book and just. frickin. read.
Reading is so good for our brains (obviously), but it can also be such a great decor idea for an at home wine bar.
New research shows reading just 6 minutes a day can reduce our stress levels by 68%! Additionally, it is really good for kids to grow up in a house full of books, study shows.
So, let's fill our new wine bar shelves with wine-related books to jazz up our area AND have fun reads when enjoying a glass of wine.
From Vines to Wines
Art of Fermentation
Wildcrafting Brewer
From Vines to Wines is a perfect book for the curious wine drinkers, where does your wine come from? How does it go from grape to delicious fermented juice?
Art of Fermentation will intrigue you beyond your wildest dreams! I adore this book, Katz discusses ancient fermentation practices in all realms (fermented meats, drinks, cheeses, and more!)
Hands down my favorite (which you would know if you read more of my posts...) is Wildcrafting Brewer.
Take a ride into crafting wild concoctions from your backyard, get entranced by his gorgeous photos, and be transported to another world full of rustic flavors and fermented mysteries.
Literally no one could resist pulling this off your *new* shelf...

Basically, these lovely wine bar ideas are perfect for the rustic, nature-loving ladies who just want a cute space for your wines.
Being creative with crafting the space is the best part, but in the end you will sit on your couch with a glass in hand (which is the ultimate goal here, right?)
