ARROWINE & CHEESE

Arrowine & Cheese – located at 4508 Lee Highway in Arlington, VA -- prides itself on a high-level of personal service and an extensive selection of the world’s best wines. On their shelves, you’ll find many new-to-you labels along with some of the best-known and revered names in fine wine.

Owner of Arrowine, Doug Rosen, visits growers, tastes their wines, and makes his own selections, which are then featured in the store. He looks for wines that are “precise, focused and terroir-driven from growers who hand-harvest, use indigenous yeasts for fermentation and are judicious in their use of oak.”

But Arrowine is not just about wine. They also offer a wide-ranging selection of the best cheeses and charcuterie available, from domestic and international producers alike. Hand-selected items are constantly maintained and presented by their team of knowledgeable mongers, who cut samples of anything that you want to try. They also cut your cheese/charcuterie to order, ensuring you the freshest possible product to take home.
