A downtown Overland Park restaurant and wine bar has made an international name for itself.
Vintage ’78 Wine Bar recently earned two prestigious awards from national publication The World of Fine Wine’s ranking of the best wine selections from restaurants and wineries around the world.
Vintage ’78 won the Three Star Award and Jury Prize
- Only 144 restaurants across the world earned a Three Star Award, according to a release.
- The Three Star award is the highest number of stars a restaurant or winery can earn from The World’s Best Wine Lists award program.

This is not the wine bar’s only recent award
