“ My partner and I stumbled across this beautiful establishment while touring the Navy Yard and was quickly greeted by Laquita. She provided outstanding customer service. She also gave recommendations regarding the menu items. Will come again! Thank you Laquita! The wine flights were amazing! ”

The decor can be made to fit anything you need. The food is great. Staff is always friendly. can't wait to go back. ig@jsasuphotography ”
“ This is my regular spot to go to since I live very close to the location; though let me inform you that I have never been dissatisfied nor have I been unimpressed with the food, service, and overall atmosphere :) ! The first time I visited here, I automatically bought the membership for the monthly wine subscription. The wine was superb, the staff were even better. They have a wonderful staff consisting of Tim, Natalie, Shawn, Hailey, and various others who are excellent in relaying their knowledge of wine. Always taking out the time to greet even in busy hours. They’re just overall wonderful company to enjoy while drinking/eating/enjoying the ambiance of the restaurant. Though I’m usually at the wine bar, in the restaurant they have a wonderful bartender Brooke that is so welcoming and kind— her drinks are so delicious!! Gerald is always kind to greet us if he happens to walk in the vicinity and he has such a lovely big smile, I honestly have not experienced a staff where everyone is genuinely pleasant to be around. I’m so happy that I sought out this place because for months I’ve enjoyed myself so much each time being here. Honorable mention also pertains to the chefs, as they create wonderful charcuterie boards and dishes that are so so flavorful. Chef Steph and Chef Donovan know how to create a wonderful experience through a dish to customers, even without directly being in front of them. That is a very admirable skill, and dinner is an absolute favorite of mine to partake in there. Overall, go!!! It’s so so good and you will not be disappointed in any category:) (All of the pics are of drinks and charcuterie, my two favorite things in the world lol) ”
“ We have NEVER had a bad experience at District! Every birthday, anniversary, celebration, we ALWAYS pick District Winery! Their winter menu is to die for - the crab fondue is so light yet so creamy and rich! The focaccia is a must and the truffle arancini is so flavourful! We’re Wine Club members so it makes the experience even more enjoyable! Natalie and Tim at the wine bar are nothing short of amazing! ”
“ Have been here for a wedding and a wine tasting and both were amazing experiences. The team here is knowledgeable and helpful and the event space above the winery bar area is spacious. ”
“ Words cannot express how grateful we are to everyone at District Winery, especially our coordinator Kat, for everything they did to make our wedding such a success. It exceeded our wildest dreams. Kat and the team were a joy to work with and made everything smooth and seamless from beginning to end. The food and drink were phenomenal, and the venue looked and felt incredible on the day of the wedding. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever attended and we certainly agree. We would recommend District Winery without reservation for any event and would love to host another event there one day. ”
“ Nice space to hold an event. Beautiful views right by the river. I was there for a wine industry event. ”
“ District Winery was the perfect backdrop for a beautiful, love-filled wedding I had the pleasure of photographing. The venue offers stunning views, and the Navy Yard Boardwalk nearby was ideal for capturing those special newlywed moments. The team, went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless, even giving us a heads-up for a surprise firework show that added a magical touch to the night. I can’t wait to return to this incredible venue! ”
