The Wine Cellar at the Rio is in the lower level in the carnival wing. Down the winding stairs, to a wine basement with room for private parties as well as a long bar where we sat at the end. Waitress was very helpful with our selections and you have an option of multiple flights of wine and multiple flights of cheese, and orders of homemade Salami 2 Oz's each per order.
3 Flights chosen. 1. The Pinot Noir flight which was two good wines and two pass wines. The Chardonnay flight had 3 wines all excellent and the Cabernet flight $70.00 was 3 Cabernets and 1 huge Boudreaux. Really generous pours considering the price of the wines. We had 1 cheese flight which our sever allowed us to substitute some other cheeses into the brie / blue cheese flight and 1 order of homemade salami was plentiful and excellent. Complimentary baskets of bread were provided as well. I have to say I love wine tasting and this is unique in Las Vegas. Good value on all the flights with great pours and our server was knowledgeable and very nice and helpful.
If you're in or near the Rio make this a stop!!! I loved it.
