The Foothills Are Calling...
Italy Without the Plane Ticket
Step off Main Street into warm light, old-world charm and a glass worth lingering over. For a few hours you won’t be in the foothills at all. You’ll be somewhere in Italy.
Our Story
Some Things Get Better With Time
Good wine and old buildings have something in common: the best ones carry a story, and they only get richer with age. We wanted to make something unique and special inside this historic building on Main Street, a place where you can walk in, exhale, and feel like you belong.

Worth the Drive
Slip away from the everyday. The Corner Cork is a wine lounge inspired by Italy, set among the historic storefronts of downtown Rutherfordton, with Lake Lure and Chimney Rock about 20 miles to the west. Come for a glass, a bottle, or a whole afternoon with friends.
The Experience
A Glass, a Bottle, All the Time You Want
The Wine
By the glass or by the bottle, poured with care and meant to be shared slowly.
The Bar
Stop in after work for a pour and a good conversation at the bar.
The Lounge
Settle in with friends and let the day slow down, surrounded by the warmth of a historic building.
“I am the vine; you are the branches.”
John 15:5In a town built on faith and neighbors who show up for each other, this verse reminds us that we're better connected than we are alone. It's the same spirit we hope you feel every time you pull up a seat at The Corner Cork.
Pull up a seat. There is room for everyone.
Come for a Glass...
Take Your Time
Stop in for a midday glass, a quiet afternoon with a friend, or a long, unhurried visit. Whenever you come, a good pour and good company are waiting.
