New Journey Wine Lounge is your destination for an elevated evening, not just a glass of wine.

We offer a hand-selected wine program featuring globally sourced labels and an exclusive Black-owned winery collection. Our signature wine flights come with guided tasting notes for every palate. Artisan boards and elevated small bites are curated specifically to complement what is in your glass.

For special occasions, our private tastings, and full lounge buyouts are available for larger celebrations. Our founding Wine Club membership gives you priority access, exclusive pricing, and a permanent seat at the table.

One evening here and you will understand exactly what we mean.

We were not built to be a bar with a wine list. We were built to be a destination.

New Journey Wine Lounge was founded by Tonya Allen, a breast cancer survivor and operational consultant who looked for a space where people could walk in exactly as they are and feel genuinely celebrated. That space did not exist. So she built it.

We feature an exclusive Black-owned winery program, including our signature Black Excellence Flight, because it reflects who we are, not just what we serve.

And from the moment you walk through our door, the pace of the outside world stays where you left it.

Pull up a chair. You belong here.
