Wine lounge, yoga studio planned

Wake Forest residents Amy and Brian Burkhardt plan to begin making major changes in January to the building at 153 South White Street, now Bobby Perry’s barber shop

“Our plan is for a wine lounge carrying unique wines and craft beer for on site consumption and retail sale. We will also offer a variety of yoga classes for all levels with some heated classes. We will be exploring other fitness classes and personal training in the studio space.  Tastings, food & wine pairings and other special events will be planned as well as private rental opportunities,” the Burkhardts explained in an email this week.

“And yes, our plans do include the rooftop! There will be exterior stairs at the rear of the building providing access to Unwined Upstairs. Yoga classes will be held on the roof, weather permitting, along with an additional wine lounge seating area.”

They said they hope to open in April. Follow the progress on Instagram @unwinedonwhite.

The other major change on South White this winter will be the closing of The Olde English Tea Room just before Christmas. Howard and Christine Sadel and their three children will begin renovations on the property in January with the hope of opening the Sugar Magnolia Café & Emporium in mid-February.

“Sugar Magnolia Cafe & Emporium will be a destination for great coffee, tea, and amazing food, as well as shopping for locally produced art, jewelry, crafts and more. From casual seating to private events, Sugar Magnolia looks to be a hub of activity serving the greater Wake Forest, Raleigh area,” Howard Sadel wrote recently.
