This is without question the best wine bar in all of Houston. In fact, very likely the best in Texas. The bar is run by a Master Sommelier. There are only 300 or so in the entire world and she is one of only 30 female Master Sommeliers in the world.
This property has TWO Master Sommeliers and one of them runs this wine bar. It usually takes someone a decade or so to work their way up the ranks and take all of the exams to become a Master Sommelier. Many quit because it’s so hard. There are only 300 in the entire world and one of them runs this bar. The rest of the staff are trained well and have passed various exams as they build their career.
If you want the best wine selection in Texas with people that know how to pair and have access to rare selections of wines, this is your place. Ask any question you want, no matter how esoteric, as they will likely know.

The Joy of My Down time!
I simply cannot say enough about this wonderful place. Part of me doesn't want to write this review so that I can keep this magic gem to myself. Since the moment I stepped foot in Stella, it has been nothing short of amazing. I've had so many recent pleasant memories here. The wine is fantastic! The Sommeliers are truly top of the line, especially Jeffery. I can listen to him talk about the wines, the regions and notes for hours. The food is also divine; the truffle fries will make you strap yourself to the seat and never leave. If you love a super Tuscan, full bodied red, ask for the Susumaniello and thank me later. What has really done it for me however was my recent experience here.
I planned a surprise party and called Stella to put the plans in motion. Of course, I requested Jeffery because he is literally a gift to oenology. Jeffery sat with me on the phone for an hour going back and forth on the menu, the champagnes we'd select and even some guest dynamics I needed help working through...this man went above and beyond! I let Jeffery know the number of guests, the vibe I wanted, and my budget, we chatted once more about the party and that was it. Well, I was supposed to come in early to help set up and make sure everything was set but I was late. When I arrived, Jeffery had the table set with a beautiful tablecloth (we did not discuss this) a beautiful chalk written sign for the guest of honor, 10 table settings with champagne flutes, florals and candles. It was more than I'd imagined but also exactly what I would have wanted. I literally only had to place the name cards and my other friend, the cookies for each guest, on the table. We literally didn't have to do anything. Jeffery also took us through a lovely tasting of champagne from the champagne region, made sure the charcuterie boards were beautifully designed and greeted the guest of honor herself. I know she was shocked he knew her name. The guest of honor was so overwhelmed and grateful but so was I. Jeffery made me and my fellow planners look like the best friends in the world. I'm glad I have his personal number now in the event he ever decides to leave Stella haha. Love love love love Stella and Jeffery. Thank you all so much for an amazing event and amazing time, each and every time!

HIGHLY recommend this spot!
Staff are SO attentive and work well together as a team. We did not seem to have an assigned server so felt comfortable asking anyone for help or to order. Which is a tribute to their organization and communication.
Very knowledge staff and run by a master somm and all staff also certified at some level.
Food was super flavorful and fun!
It is Slightly hidden inside the hotel just go in the front and turn right in the lobby it will be in front of you.

Food is absolutely not worth the price so if you’re coming to try wine, eat first im so serious. Wine was delicious and they prices are great for the flights. Overall I’d try a new wine bar before coming back but would.

Stella's Wine Bar is a charming spot perfect for date night or wine enthusiasts. The sommelier impressed us with a recommendation of Anderson Conn Valley wine. It was flavorful and smooth, though it did have a cork issue. The charcuterie board is a must-try! We opted for a large table and were treated to a generous spread. A word to the wise—a large board is too much for just two people!
One downside is the lack of parking; valet at the adjacent Four Season hotel is the only option. However, the cozy patio setting made up for it. Despite the Texas heat, it was quite comfortable. And if you're a car aficionado, you're in for a treat. Luxury car shops nearby feature Bentleys and even a $3 million Bugatti!
For wine lovers looking to explore beyond the main menu, asking for the complete wine list on your next visit is a good idea. The ambiance and selection make it a place worth returning to.

What a beautiful serene atmosphere. Brenda, our server, gave us a few samples of white wine and impressed us with a Rose wine from France. Unbelievably delicious food and quiet place for a one on one date night. Definitely recommend it🥰
