Butcher & Vine

Butcher & Vine was founded in neighboring Watkinsville 2019 by Andrew Wallace and Justin and Jennifer Barnette. The Athens restaurant, with expanded dinner menu and service, opened in early 2021.
You'll find high-quality meats, cheese, charcuterie, wine and local goods for both eat-in and take-home experiences. Custom butcher cuts available until 5 p.m.
Chef Kory DePaola is the chef and culinary director. Kory was just 20 when he landed his first executive chef position at Watkinsville's Chops & Hops, and then worked under the guidance of Chef Hugh Acheson at Empire State South, where he became executive chef in 2019. Kory gained extensive knowledge under Hugh's leadership during their years together, and began to feel the call to expand his horizons and develop his own menu. That's when he learned former colleague Andrew Wallace was opening a second location of Butcher & Vine ... and the timing could not have been more perfect!
CHEF'S TABLE EXPERIENCE:
The newest dining experience at Butcher & Vine - Athens launched in fall 2021. Chef's Table experiences are five-course dinners with optional wine pairings, starting at $75 per person. The courses will be exclusive to your party: you won't find them on the regular lunch or dinner menus. The Chef's Table is a way for you to dive into personalized meals with Chef Kory, and you'll be able to enjoy treats and seasonal offerings in addition to his creative take on proteins and accompaniments.
Chef's Table guests will receive a custom menu that details each dish and the selected pairings, if wine is added to your reservation. Pairings are $35 per person. Seating is limited each evening and must be reserved three days' in advance. To request your seats, please email ButcherAndVine@gmail.com, or call the Athens location at 706.850.7767.
EVENT PLANNERS:
Butcher and Vine is also available for special events and catered gatherings, including on Sundays and Mondays.
Just about since day one, Butcher & Vine has specialized in creating custom grazing tables for catered events!
For outside catering, in addition to grazing tables, they can do custom boards, a selection of small bites, and catered luncheons for area businesses, organizations and pretty much any lunchtime event you'd like.
For parties of 25 or more, three days' notice is needed for ordering requests:
- Boxed lunches ($10 per person): choose from chicken salad sandwiches + chips or salad; roast beef sandwiches + chips or salad; or the wild rice grain bowl
- Luncheon Charcuterie ($15 per person): an assortment of three meats, three artisan cheeses and five seasonal accompaniments, served with Independent Baking Co. baguette slices and crackers
- Snack Trio ($15 per person): smoked salmon tartine with crème fraiche, dill and pickled onion on country sourdough; pimento cheese with bacon jam and crackers; and pork rillettes with burnt honey and Independent Baking Co. baguette
In addition to outside catering, both locations offer in-house private and semi-private event reservations.
The full restaurant can be reserved, or the Tasting Room can be reserved for a smaller group that would like a private dining experience. Private events, weddings and large parties also have the ability to work with the onsite graphic designer for customized menus, programs and more.
