This is a must stop every time my wife and I are near Nellysford. There is a wonderful selection of cheeses and baked goods and other gourmet items, but we are usually there for the wine selection. Many (if not most) of the wines are organic/biodynamic, with a heavy emphasis on southern French regions and styles. I have found so many delightful bottles of wine here over the last 5 or 6 years, and everything has been priced very reasonably. In addition to the wine and gourmet items, I have dined here a handful of times, and the light fare was delicious and refreshing. Very much a hidden gem - there is no ostentatious exterior, just a simple, unassuming little house, quite aptly named Basic Necessities.
Awesome live music
Cute place. Lovely staff. Mae was beyond knowledgeable and helpful will be returning.
Delightful French Themed wine and cheese shop with a cozy dining area attached. Super friendly staff and regular patrons make this spot a delightful taste of France nestled in the middle of Nellysford.
Always delicious! Friendly people. Super selection of wines...esp. French
Absolutely the best dang spinach and feta quiche I've ever put in my mouth! Friendly service.
Had a wonderful brunch experience here a few weeks ago. A true hidden gem it’s small so I’d make a reservation
Super cute little gem with a lot of passion for the food.
Absolutely delicious! The staff was so friendly and accommodating of our needs as a group of 7. The wine was delicious and our meals were warm, flavorful and filling.
Quaint, charming spot in Afton with delicious, upscale food. Quirky backyard seating was perfect for a lunch with a bestie. Try the pear and blue cheese panini!
Great food and adorable atmosphere.
Poor service, staff kept complaining about being busy. Poorly maintained "garden dining area". Food was good, but over priced. $100 for two sandwichs and 3 glasses of wine.
Food was delicious. Excellent salads, trout and delicious desserts!
It's a little expensive but the quality makes up for the cost in a big way.
Food was good. Owner was nice. Nice variety of local made products. Portions were small though.
Excellent food, I can’t stop thinking about how savory it was!
Shabbyshiek location with a French theme leans a little more toward shabby than shiek.
Such a charming little gem! The food, staff and service were all fantastic. We were so delighted with this find!
Wow. Food was good. Cute atmosphere and friendly staff. Lots of fun wine and treats for sale in the store. Definitely worth a visit!
Chef Will is the best!
