It’s wine o’clock in Trussville’s Entertainment District—Corbeau Wine Bar officially opened today, May 3 at 4PM. Read on to see what this all-new, 19+-only spot has to offer. (Yes, it’s more than wine!)

Behind Corbeau Wine Bar

Corbeau Wine Bar first announced it would be setting up shop on Morrow Ave in Trussville’s Entertainment District over a year ago. Now, after much anticipation, we can finally raise our glasses and toast to its opening.

A family-owned-and-operated business, Corbeau is co-owned by sisters Elizabeth and Mary Martin, their husbands Mark and John Martin, and friend Dean Maio. All are Trussville residents.

“This is a dream come true for all of us. We’ve poured our hearts into it. We wanted a great place for people to eat, drink and relax with friends.”
Dean Maio, Co-owner, Corbeau Wine Bar

What to expect when you visit Corbeau

When you step through the doors of Corbeau, you’ll be met with an open floor plan filled with clean white tables, colorful seating, an impressive bar and a casual, yet sophisticated vibe.

You can leave bougie at the door, because Corbeau’s atmosphere is a balanced mix of sophisticated and casual.

“We want to offer a first-class experience in a polished, casual environment. Nothing pretentious, nothing bougie. We want to welcome everyone in the community.”
Dean Maio, Co-owner, Corbeau Wine Bar

Mary also added that they wanted to create something that was very approachable and made wine less intimidating.

Now, on to the main highlights. Here’s what else you’ll discover at Corbeau:

Full bar with cocktails, beer + wine served by the glass
48 self-service wines on tap
Retail section with a broad selection of wines from Old World and New World to France, Italy, Napa + South America
Menu featuring small plates + charcuterie

“Charcuterie boards are like snowflakes. A lot of people have them, especially in this demographic of industry. Ours is very impressive to look at and is modestly priced with first-class meats and cheeses, and a lot of imported items.”
Dean Maio, Co-owner, Corbeau Wine Bar

Corbeau’s charcuterie boards will change often depending on the season along with what’s hot, new and fresh.

Now about that wine on tap…

If the concept of wine on tap is new to you, prepare to be wowed. With Corbeau’s unique technology, they offer 48 different wines, each connected to an individual tap. All you have to do is follow these steps:

Find the wine you’d like to try.
Tap the machine’s user-friendly touchscreen.
Select the amount of wine you’d like (1, 2.5 or 5 ounces).
Scan your debit/credit card.
Place your wine glass beneath the tap and watch it pour!

“It’s really fun and unique. We’ve gotten great feedback. We’ve heard a lot of people say they feel like a kid at Chuckee Cheese because there’s so much to try.”
Mary and Elizabeth Martin, Co-owners, Corbeau Wine Bar

What’s also cool about Corbeau’s wines on tap is that it, too, promotes a casual environment where you can wander casually, meet people and network.
