About Us

Who is Beyond the Grape/NOLA Tropical Winery?

We are a unique retail store and wine bar that offers non-traditional, unique award winning wines. 
Our original location in New Orleans is know as NOLA Tropical Winery. Our new location in Pensacola, FL is known as Beyond the Grape.

All of our tropical wines are 100% all-natural fruit wines made without grapes or wooden barrels to produce high quality, award-winning wines free of tannic acids. Fruit wines are an old Deep South tradition, and we are proud to bring back to the capital of food and fun, New Orleans. Our exclusive line of nearly 40 fine wines range from totally dry to sweet, and run the gamut from dry reds and whites to a host of semi-sweets, dessert wines, specialty wines, port, sherry, and the First Wine of the South, muscadine.

Our wines are fine works of the vintner's art created from hand-selected berries, citrus, and tropical fruits. Awarded multiple gold, silver, and bronze medals in international wine competitions, our wines are unequaled in taste, clarity, bouquet, and versatility.

Our selection of wines include:

  • Citrus Wines - Orange, Tangerine, Tangelo, Pink Grapefruit, Key Lime Peach
  • Berry Wines - Muscadine, Blackberry, Blueberry, Cranberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Cherry
  • Tropical Fruit Wines - Watermelon, Mango, Pineapple, Passion Fruit, Kiwi, Banana, Guava

We have wines for all occasions, and our helpful & knowledgeable staff are happy to help you with your selections with individual taste profile analysis, food pairings, and suggestions for the many uses our versatile wines fulfill.
