The Lark Winespace

The Lark Winespace is a wine shop and tasting bar at 493 Prince Avenue in downtown Athens, GA, owned by Krista and Jerry Slater. The Slaters are well known figures in the Athens restaurant scene, and The Lark reflects their passion for approachable wine culture. The shop carries a rotating inventory of sparkling, white, rose, and red wines that can be purchased by the bottle or enjoyed on site with friends. The food side complements the wine selection with cheeses, charcuterie, tinned fish, snacks, and assorted sweets designed for pairing. The Lark also runs a wine club through Table22 for customers who want regular curated selections delivered. The atmosphere is deliberately casual and welcoming. The Slaters have described it as a place to meet, shop, try something new, and enjoy a bite. That easygoing approach has earned them features in Garden and Gun Magazine and the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The Prince Avenue location puts The Lark in the middle of one of Athens' best dining and shopping corridors, within walking distance of restaurants, boutiques, and Normaltown. With a 4.8 star rating and 33 reviews, the wine bar has become a go to gathering spot for Athens residents who want a glass of something interesting without the pretension. Gift cards are available, and the curated bottle selection rotates frequently enough that repeat visits always turn up something new.
