Dilworth Tasting Room will open a new Charlotte location — and it’s not in Dilworth
While the original Dilworth Tasting Room is in — you guessed it — Dilworth, the newly announced second location will make its home in SouthPark.
The wine bar, known for its small plates and elevated cocktails, will join tenants at the mixed-used Sharon Square development as the result of a deal with Hill Partners, Inc. — the firm that brought KASHIYAMA to the shopping center in July. Dilworth Tasting Room SouthPark will set up shop in 3,873-square-foot space formerly occupied by Corkbuzz and is expected to open in early 2021 after an extensive remodel.
Owner Jaffer Kovic will lead the new location with expanded food, wine and cocktail menus.
“We have been looking to expand the Dilworth Tasting Room brand for a few years,” Kovic said. “After viewing numerous properties, which did not fit criteria we were looking for, we put our expansion on hold to focus on another concept. Unfortunately, COVID 19 put everything on hold. The Corkbuzz location came up, and it was an opportunity to move into an area that we had been looking at for some time — a great location that already has a full kitchen, which was really important to us, as we have always wanted to expand our kitchen space to have a more aggressive food menu.”
The original Dilworth Tasting Room is open for dining, and the fall cocktail menu is live with seasonal flavors such as fresh grapefruit juice, pomegranate, vanilla, cloves black walnut, maple syrup and more. An updated food menu will be released next week. Reservations are available through Resy.
“We are extremely excited about the future growth and to go into an area we have been looking at for three years,” Kovic said. “It’s been interesting to watch the brands who are popping up in that area, and we are grateful to join them in that area of town. We look forward to bringing the DTR brand to South Park.”
In addition to Dilworth Tasting Room SouthPark, Hill Partners, Inc. will also welcome back The Bar Method to Sharon Square. The 3,000-square-foot studio, known for its total body strength and endurance workouts, will reopen under new ownership in December after a renovation.
“We are very excited to welcome The Bar Method and Dilworth Tasting Room SouthPark to Sharon Square,” Robert H. Spratt, president of Hill Partners, Inc., said in a statement. “The addition of these tenants shows our commitment to the SouthPark community and are a continuation of our efforts to bring exceptional and in-demand experiences to Sharon Square.”
