About Us
Read Between The Wines is one of Smith Mountain Lake’s must-visit destinations, offering a cozy and inviting blend of wine bar, bookshop, and gathering space in the heart of Union Hall. Founded by local bookworm and wine enthusiast Peggy Ephrath, this independent shop was created with a simple idea: to bring stories, community, and connection together in one warm and welcoming place.
Guests can browse a thoughtfully curated selection of new and used books, including antiquarian treasures, vintage out-of-print classics, first editions, and beautifully preserved pre-loved volumes. Surrounded by art, local artisan goods, and comfortable reading nooks, visitors are invited to slow down and stay awhile with a coffee, a glass of wine, and a great book.
The wine selection is carefully chosen to complement the pace of a good story, featuring approachable favorites, distinctive finds, and bottles meant to be savored slowly. Paired with delicious bites and a relaxed atmosphere, every visit to Read Between The Wines feels like an experience to enjoy, not rush through.
More than just a bookstore or wine bar, Read Between The Wines is a welcoming community space where readers, locals, and visitors alike can connect, discover something new, and truly feel at home.
