Century House Tavern

Century House Tavern is the kind of place that gets the atmosphere right — a beautifully restored historic home on Woodstock's Main Street, with a dining garden and live music on weekends. The wine list, though, is harder to read at a glance. What we know about the program is limited, and the list doesn't appear to make itself the star of the show.

The reported region focus leans toward South Africa and Australia's Barossa Valley — an interesting tilt that, if executed well, could make this list more interesting than your average suburban gastropub. That said, we don't have enough sourced evidence to tell you whether the list is lean or layered, adventurous or just adequate. The food program is clearly the priority here, with a seasonally driven, chef-focused menu that suggests the kitchen is getting more love than the cellar.

By-the-glass specifics aren't documented in our research, so we can't tell you how many pours are available or what's rotating. For a gastropub at this price point, expect a standard handful of options — probably a mix of crowd-friendly whites and reds, but we'd want to verify before getting excited.
