The Independent Caveau NOLA - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great place with great wines and deli foods. We did one of their wine classes and it was fun and educational!

Charcuterie are wonderful , wines are excellent customer service outstanding and friendly faces to sit around to chat with

New Orleans has a lot of great wine shops, but Joanne + Jim and staff do a great job of creating community and have the wines organized in a way that makes it easy to explore

Great wine and meat/cheese selection! I think we were helped by the owners, who were friendly, patient, and had some great recommendations. There was quite a variety of wine to pick from, and I appreciated that they had bottle options at many different price points. Everything we had was delicious! Have a snack and a drink at the bar if you have time.

Excellent wine, excellent service. It's worth the detour. ♥️

Such a well thought out selection of low intervention wines!

Fabulous wine bar with cheese and meats in their deli section. Awesome wine recommendations and selections.

Came in with my boyfriend to enjoy a glass of wine and a cheese board and we had so much fun! Brittany and Biz were super friendly and knowledgeable! Loved the cheeseboard they paired with our wine and the vibes were just amazing all around! :)

Ok one of the best places I have been to in a long time ...I love this spot

Set us up for a dope picnic! They were knowledgeable without being snobby. I would give 10 stars if they were available. This is my new spot!

This is my happy place. Jim and Joanne are just the best and have incredible knowledge of all of their carefully curated products, but with zero pretension or hard sell. Upon entering the modern building is the retail section with some of the finest wines, artisan food products and a selection of cured meats and cheeses that is unmatched in the area. Those wines can move further back into the bar area for a small corkage and delicious cheese/meat boards can join. There are typically by the glass pours each day until closing. Any of the bar options can go with you outside to the pleasant backyard. Informative and fun wine classes are taught upstairs in the same unpretentious manner. Do yourself a favor and go immediately. You will become a regular.

One of the best wine purveyors in our region, perhaps No. America. Selection of cheese and charcuterie are equally high quality and Jim is super knowledgeable about all of it. They serve by the glass, or bottles with small ($10) cork fee from retail at the indoor bar (pictured) or outside in a spacious and comfortable stone garden. Don't let the out of the way address fool you, this is the best wine bar in New Orleans. Jim's wife, Joann also runs classes on wine at many levels. Don't miss the Independent if you care about good wine.

Very well curated shop with a clean design and comfortable social space.

Amazing amazing bar and service!! Great backyard space and not too crowded, this is a must see neighborhood spot in New Orleans. Pro tip, get the chocolate or you haven’t lived.

Great place. I'll go back when NO lifts the mask mandate.

Best place for buying wine in the city. They always have amazing recommendations. Totally worth swinging by their bar and getting a delicious charcuterie plate with a glass of wine!

Fantastic selection of wines that will match your every mood and whomever you bring with you as company.

We met Joanne.at a Halloween brunch and she suggested we check them out! Put this place on your map, whether you are a tourist or a local! Such hospitality, graciousness, and family based wine production and tasting.

Outstanding selection and a knowledgeable staff.

I love this wine bar. So many gems

Quiet little place. Lots of wine. And great cheeses and meats

Cute and adult. Very nice to host pop up shops. Will frequent again.

I have known Jim for nearly a decade and I've been buying wine from him for all that time. Jim is great because he's deeply knowledgeable and also chill. He brings that to his place - it isn't aisles and aisles of wine, but there's plenty of it and it's generally outstanding. What's more, as I've come to know Jim, he now picks out wines that he thinks I'll like, and he hasn't missed yet. His store is a little off the beaten path, but it's well worth a little detour.

Very helpful staff and an excellent selection of wine as well as cheeses, charcuterie, and high end tinned seafood (Spanish and Portuguese sardines, etc...).

Cool space, interesting wine selection, friendly staff.

Tremendous wine and cheese experience. We ate as much as we could and still had enough to bring to a friend stuck at work. Cheers

Wonderful place, they opened right before the pandemic began - I hope they manage to survive this awful business climate

If you like a selection of wines and specialty foods accompanied by legit jazz, this is your place! Also, the service was excellent — especially for sitting on a porch! This was my first visit, but it definitely won’t be my last.

Love this spot!! Best wine selection in the city. The owner is extremely helpful when trying new bottles of wine. They also have a great cheese and meat selection. Patio in the back has a nice vibe where you can enjoy wine and food in the back. Highly recommend!!

Best wines in NOLA, awesome owners/staff and great meat/cheese selection too!

My favorite neighborhood wine store! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff and not to mention the delicious wine and accoutrement! Nothing beats it

Excellent diverse selection of interesting wines focusing on reasonably-priced small production winemakers. Good selection of natural wines. Extremely knowledgeable staff that offers educational activities in the cute and cleanly bar space. Also, they maintain a moderately sized cheese and charcuterie selection that is uniformly the highest quality I’ve found in the city.

Best wine store/bar/cheese plate in NOLA. Owners know their wines backwards and forwards and will help you find a great bottle at any price point. Definitely check this place out!

One of the best wine shops in the city. Incredible staff that really know what they're talking about - both with historical styles and new trend - yet don't make you feel like an idiot for asking questions. Dynamite little wine bar attached with pours that are both unique and priced barely over retail. Plus a cool back porch area with Saints on Sundays.

I adore this Little gem of a wine bar! I was too busy enjoying the Corsican wines to take a picture. It is definitely worth a drop in

Really liked the place. Interesting selection, very friendly staff.

I love this place! Awesome retail wine selection. The bar area is cozy and the wines by the glass list is fantastic. The Tuesday blind tasting is really fun, they pour four mystery wines and let you talk them out before they reveal what you were drinking. Good snacks too!
