Good to know
Questions we hear at the bar
What are your hours?
Monday: closed · Tuesday: 3:00 – 7:00 pm · Wednesday: 12:00 – 9:00 pm · Thursday: 12:00 – 9:00 pm · Friday: 12:00 – 9:00 pm · Saturday: 12:00 – 9:00 pm · Sunday: 12:00 – 6:00 pm
Do you take reservations?
Yes — the bistro serves dinner Wednesday through Saturday, with seatings from 4:00 to 8:30 pm. We're an intimate thirty seats, so reserving ahead is smart, especially Friday and Saturday. Book online at awswine.com/reservations or call (703) 723-7575. Walk-ins are always welcome when there's room at the bar.
Can I drink a bottle from the shop with dinner? What about corkage?
Drinking a bottle from our shelves with dinner is the whole idea — browse over a thousand bottles, pick what you love, and we'll open it with your meal. Bringing a bottle from home instead? We charge a $20 corkage fee per outside bottle.
Where do I park?
We're in Ashburn Shopping Plaza (44050 Ashburn Shopping Plaza, Ste 159) with free plaza parking right outside the door.
Are kids welcome?
Absolutely — we're a neighborhood spot first, and we keep sodas on hand for the kids. One heads-up for planning: all of our seating is high-top (bar-height tables), so littler ones do best on a grown-up's lap or a high-top stool. A reservation helps us seat your crew comfortably.
Can I bring my dog?
We love dogs, but because we serve food, health regulations mean no pets inside — we can't make exceptions. Service dogs are always welcome, as the law provides and as we'd want it.
What's the seating like?
All high-tops — bar-height tables and stools throughout, thirty seats total. It keeps the room social, wine-bar style. If bar-height seating is tricky for anyone in your party, call ahead and we'll do everything we can to make your visit comfortable.
Do you have gluten-free or vegetarian options?
The bistro menu always has vegetarian-friendly plates, and several dishes can be adjusted. Tell us about allergies or dietary needs in your reservation notes — or call ahead — and the kitchen will take care of you.
How does the wine club work?
Three clubs, one idea: bottles we're excited about, picked for you monthly, ready at the shop with a pickup party to match. Compare the AWS Club, All-Reds, and Big Red at awswine.com/wine-club — sign-up takes two minutes.
Do you host private events?
Yes — birthdays, corporate tastings, rehearsal dinners, and everything in between, in the shop or off-site. Start at awswine.com/private-events and tell us what you're dreaming up.
Do you sell gift cards?
Digital gift cards are at awswine.com/gift-cards — delivered by email, redeemable in the shop and bistro.
How do events and RSVPs work?
Everything on awswine.com/events is RSVP-able right on the page — trivia, tastings, paella nights, mahjong, live classes. Ticketed events show the price up front and take payment when you RSVP.
Can I order bottles online?
Yes — the whole cellar is at awswine.com/shop with live inventory. Order online, pay with card or Apple Pay / Google Pay, and pick up at the shop (we'll email you when it's ready). We're pickup-only for now.
