Meet Maryann and Dan Ennis, the husband-and-wife duo behind The Cellar on Evergreen! Originally from New York, Maryann and Dan met in Florida and spent much of their lives raising their three daughters in Austin, Texas. Their journey also took them overseas to Singapore for four years, before eventually bringing them to North Carolina. After purchasing a cabin in Sparta in 2015, they quickly fell in love with the charm of the mountains and the community. In 2018, they relocated to Huntersville for Dan's career, but when the pandemic arrived, they made Sparta their permanent home. As they began investing in buildings around town, one particular space sparked an idea that had been close to Maryann's heart for years: opening a cozy neighborhood wine bar.
For Maryann and Dan, entertaining has always been a way of life. From hosting dinners with friends and neighbors to bringing people together for celebrations, their home has always been a gathering place. When they opened The Cellar on Evergreen in 2023, they wanted to bring that same sense of warmth and hospitality to downtown Sparta. They lovingly transformed the space into a cozy, inviting wine bar full of character and personality, where guests can enjoy wine, beer, delicious food, occasional live music, and special events. But what truly makes The Cellar special isn't just what's on the menu, it's the people. What started as a dream has become a place where strangers become friends, friendships grow into family, and everyone is welcomed. With Dan recently retiring from the corporate world, the couple continues to pour their hearts into a business that reflects their love of people, community, and good company.
