Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a wine tasting room and a wine bar?
A tasting room is typically focused on guided flights that help you learn about specific wines in a structured way. A wine bar is more casual, letting you order individual glasses at your own pace without a formal tasting structure.
Does EJ's Wine Shop serve cocktails as well as wine?
Yes, EJ's operates as both a wine bar and a cocktail bar, which makes it a great option for groups with mixed preferences. You don't have to be a wine enthusiast to enjoy a visit.
Is EJ's a good spot for a date night in Dubuque?
It's one of the more intimate and relaxed options in Dubuque for an evening out. The combination of wine, cocktails, and a knowledgeable staff creates a comfortable atmosphere that works well for couples.
Can I buy bottles of wine to take home from EJ's?
Most wine shops with a tasting room component do offer retail bottle sales. It's worth checking their current inventory when you visit, as selections often rotate with the seasons.
Do they offer wine education events or classes?
Wine education events are common among tasting room operators, and a venue like EJ's is well-positioned to host tastings around specific regions, grape varieties, or pairings. Contact them directly to ask about upcoming events or private sessions.
Is EJ's Wine Shop close to downtown Dubuque attractions?
Dubuque's compact downtown sits right along the Mississippi, and a spot like EJ's fits naturally into an evening that might also include a visit to the National Mississippi River Museum or a walk along the riverwalk. It's easy to combine with other downtown activities.
