I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Filipo Marc Winery. It was very delicious, informative and fun. The service was excellent with all questions and concerns answered. The decor added to the ambiance of the evening. I would definitely recommmend this experience and I hope to visit again soon. I loved the hospitality and knowledge of Gerard and his wife. Thank you for a great time! read more

We attended a wine tasting class and had a very good time with our friends. The owners create a welcoming environment and provide very interesting facts about wine. They are the experts you've looked for if you ever had questions about wine. There currently had 82 different variations of wine and 13 were tasted at the class. Most were 3 to 5 star in my book. Go there if you looking for something different! read more

It boggles the mind after tasting the Bellisima off dry red to see 20 five star reviews. Something smells. Perhaps some of their wines are ok but 5 stars??? We received the bottle as a gift and maybe visiting the winery might be a pleasant experience for those who don't know wine. This wine make $2 Chuck tastes like Caymus. We enjoy many $15 -25 bottles of wine. If this wine is under $5 feel free to ignore. read more

Gerard & Tressa Giacona, the owners are such helpful, friendly people. You are treated like family the minute you step in the door, be it for a bottle (or case) of wine, to sitting with you to pair the wine for your special occasion. Their wine is wonderful, and the selections available will meet your every need. Guests raved about the wine selections at our son's wedding. Stop in for taste and a chat; and, see the many other things they offer besides wine. You will be happy you did. read more

Awesome! My wife and I and another couple had an adult night in which we did wine tasting. Completely out of my wheel house. Wow what a great time. We tried 15 different wines (15 pours), given a history of wines and just had a fantastic time. read more

Great staff! Fun and informative wine tasting event. So many amazing wines to try. We had a great time!

We went here for a private wine tasting today (there were about 18-20 of us, I believe you usually need 20 minimum for a private tasting). It was set up by a Yelp friend of mine (shout out to Erin K.!) and was a lot of fun. The owner told us a lot of history about wine and how to properly taste a wine. We had 15, technically 16, wines to taste, and the tasting was $15 each, which to me is a bargain - that's like $1 per taste PLUS you get goodies like a meat and cheese platter for each table, too. I had not previously been to this store before and I purchased a bottle of wine (red, surprisingly - I usually like white!) to take home too. Most bottles are $12-13 which is pretty reasonable considering they are bottled at the store. I'd definitely come back here for another tasting too. One tiny picky thing: the tables had a plastic covering over the tablecloth, and I was wearing a (not that short) dress ... kinda stuck to my knees! Maybe change to paper? :) read more

Wonderful experience! The owners are absolutely amazing and really love the community that surrounds them. I highly recommend coming to this place and enjoying the atmosphere and just the owners. They are incredible. The owners are also very knowledgeable about the wine they serve and what pairs well with it. Very down to earth people and don't judge you for not liking anything. Definitely coming back. Tasted 15 different wines and purchased 2 bottles. read more

Love this place! If you are looking for something fun to do, go to one of their wine tastings. For $20, you get to try 15 wines and learn all sorts of cool wine trivia and hear some great stories ! Gerard is a knowledgeable and fun host! Their wine is amazing and contains no sulfates. One of my favorites is White Cranberry. Plus, there are tons of cute wine related gifts. I highly recommend stopping in to check them out. read more

I came here last Friday as part of a Wine Lovers Meetup. We participated in a wine tasting class. The owner is a wealth of information about wine, the history of wine and the correct way to get the most amount of taste of each glass. I believe the class was full even though not every seat was taken. Which is dumb to me because in order to hold your spot, you have to give a credit card. We tried 15 different wines that varied in color and flavor. Part of the class was ranking how we though the wines were. I'm glad that I tried the class because it made me try some wines that I would not have normally tried. During the class, we learned why wine bottles are 750ml and how white zinfandel came about. Both of which I had no idea about. The wines are priced decently. They also have a bunch of wine based gifts. I will most likely be back. read more

Visited during a networking event. It is a cute place with lots for random wine paraphernalia. I was surprised to learn they made all of their own wines. Gerard the owner. Is very knowledgeable. They have over 20 varieties of wine!! They do tastings public and private but you are not permitted to consume wine on site. Definitely would recommend! read more

Best winery I've ever been to! Tastings are phenomenal and super informative. Their tastings helped me learn how to enjoy different types of wine. Their wines are super cost effective without sacrificing quality!!! I only purchase wine from here (plus they don't add additional sulfites to their wine, so no wine headaches)!! Their gift shop is adorable. I just wish they sold more wine glasses that were not "gift" glasses, but beautiful glasses that are for everyday use. read more

Love this place. Great wines no sulfates added so no headaches in the morning . Great selection and reasonable prices and awesome tastings. Great for a girls night or a drop off before dinner next door! read more

I went for a private tasting for a bachelorette party. It was really nice! We paid $15 per person and received 15 samples. Worth every penny! We tried many different wines starting from dry to sweet, reds, whites, and fruit wines. Everything we tasted was great, and we were taught how to properly taste the wine. Our tasting was about 2 and a half hours and we enjoyed every minute of it. There was no pressure to purchase a bottle after, but most of us did! If you dont got for a tasting, you can walk in a buy a bottle of your choice. You are allowed to taste before you buy so it takes the guess work out of buying! read more

A truly delightful place in an unassuming little plaza in the heart of what I like to call Little Italy in Clinton Twp. I mean, who knew this great little place was even here?? I sure didn't, but I'm so glad I do now. All their wines are made on site, and Gerard the owner is a wealth of information, and he takes great pride in making sure your experience is memorable. I say, put Filipo Marc Winery in rotation for great nights out with the girls, or stop in for a nice bottle of wine for those nights in. read more

Went for a tasting with a group and was disappointed. I think if you've never done a tasting or what someone to talk at you this may good for you. I didn't really like his wine, very bland all around, and I didn't enjoy myself because he talked the whole time, interrupting us anytime we got a chance to talk amongst ourselves. read more

Thank you Gerard for your very informative and detailed presentation on wines from today and from the past. We truly enjoyed the wine tasting experience last weekend and your selection of wines. I am not a white wine/sweet wine drinker but found your white fruity selection quite tasty. I was very impressed how well you blend each flavor. The final product resulting in a well balanced and quite enjoyable flavor. We will be back for more of your Pinot and Merlot. My husband and I are now fans of Filipo Marc! read more

This micro winery is a real find. I knew Gerard (he and his wife Tressa are the owners) as a teenager and hadn't seen him in more than 20 years when we reconnected at a bridal show a few years back. I learned all about his ventures with this winery that afternoon and have been YELPING about them ever since. There are so many things that I love about this winery beyond their wine -- which, by the way, has no sulfates (the stuff that gives some headaches). - You can always try it before you buy it. - You can make, bottle and label your own (great for weddings, parties, thank yous). - The wine tastings are a great night out for just $12 pp where they definitely welcome "newbies" to come and learn (and tolerate the wine snobs as they say). We took another couple in last week to try some of the new wines (they have more than 70 different wines!). The tastings showcase 15 different wines, a first hand look at the back room and a cheese/sausage plate. - The winery itself is a treasure trove of gifts for the wine lover and more. Now that I've gone on and on about my "old" friend's place, I must say that words here don't do it justice. You won't be wasting your time if you take time to stop and say hello, try a few wines (up to 3 just for the asking) and "experience" this little gem first hand. read more

This place is fabulous! They make all of the wine on site and they have a huge selection. You can sample before you buy them or participate in one of their many wine tastings (they also do fundraisers). You can buy bottles and create your own labels for unique gifts or party favors. They have a great gift shop as well and they are very friendly. I cannot say enough great things about this place, come in and check it out for yourself! read more

My sisters and I had such a wonderful time at this winery today. The staff was so helpful. It is definitely a place to stop at if you are in the area. read more

Fabulous wine and helpful staff. We ordered all the wine for our wedding from them and our guests were very pleased! We were able to taste as many wines as we wanted to help us make our decision on which wines we wanted to serve. Gerard helped us determine how many bottles we needed based on the guest count. They host various events, which we haven't had a chance to attend, but definitely sound fun! read more

This place has fantastic wine & they let you taste before you buy. They have open wine tasting events that are very educational & fun!

This place is like my second home. I love the wine, the fun products & wine accessories in the shop, I love taking my friends for a wine tasting, and the owners are fantastic people I'm fortunate to have known for some years now. My only wish is that they'd open a second location in north Oakland closer to my house so I could hang out there more! Recommended wines: Amarone, Spanish Lady (rioja), and pretty much any of the fruity wines with ice cubes in the summertime! read more

My sister brought me here for my birthday and we both had a great experience! Lynn was very helpful and attentive but not overbearing. They have a great variety from dry to dessert wines. Something for everyone. I would love to go back as a group for a more in depth experience. Great gifts and wine accessories as well. Try the Good Stuff Cacao dark chocolate with your tasting, amazing and locally made. I will be back and telling friends! read more

I absolutely love this place! I first tried their wines when they had a table at a fundraising event where I work, and I was surprised to find that I liked EVERYTHING I tasted, even the white wines which I normally avoid. I bought a case of wine a little over a week ago, and it's already half gone because their wines are so good that even friends who don't usually drink wine have been drinking it with me! I'll be back in the next few days to stock up on delicious fruity wines for summer--especially the peach blossom and the strawberry rhubarb! Perfect for drinking outside on a nice evening. read more

I want to give this place ONE MILLION STARS!!!!! They were the best people to work with...so kind and helpful! Mr. Gerard Giacona (owner) was more than hospitable when it came to helping me create and place my unique order. He worked with me diligently and made sure I was completely happy, with every last detail. If you're having any doubts on whether or not you should be a customer with Filipo Marc Winery, DO IT! You will be SO happy you did! Thank you again Filipo Marc Winery! And specifically Mr. G.... You have no idea how many people you made smile and hearts you touched :) read more

Best wine!!! Best people ever. Gerard, his wife and staff are incredible. I've been going there for a while and they never disappoint. I am partial to the Pomegranate wine!!!! You will never be sorry to visit them and purchase their fabulous wine!!!! read more

You would never guess by looking at the storefront of the strip mall this store is located in that there is a gem hidden inside! When you enter you are immediately enthralled by all the great stuff they have related to wine. That does not even compare, however, to the knowledge of the staff! My husband has always hated wine and has never been able to share my love of it. When I called to ask about wine tasting I shared this with the owner and he promised he could find something my husband could share. HE DELIVERED. We have since been back for more bottles and my husband and I now each have a glass on the weekends. This is a must visit place!!! read more

AMAZING!! Everyone is very friendly and willing to help you find a bottle of wine for any taste. They make all the wines they sell on location. You can try the wine which is great, because who hasn't bought a bottle of wine only to find it undrinkable. They love to teach you about their wine as well. This is my favorite place. Every time I am in the area I purchase 2 or 3 bottles of wine, and I'm not a big wine drinker. The wine tastings are great and cheap, for 12 dollars you sample 15 different wines and learn about the wines as well as other wine information, you also get some small snacks and a coupon to use at your next visit. From fruity to dry, red to white, they have it all. Stop buy this place even if it is just for a sample. You have to check this place out especially if you need a bottle of wine to take to a friends house. My favorite wine is only 12.95 and I have purchased some that are 16.95, i don't think this is a bad price at all. Because this wine is not made to sit on large store selves there is no sulfates which means no wine headaches (so drink away) I ALWAYS DO!!!! read more

Excellent wine and many varieties. Gerard's enthusiasm and love of his business is obvious. We go every couple months to get a case. His wine tasting parties are very good. 5 stars. read more

Owners Gerard and Tressa make you feel right at home as soon as you walk through the door. The store is very clean, smells wonderful, has many little gifts available and of course, best of all, the wine is delicious (and won't give you a headache either) ! For someone like me who enjoys fruity wines, there is no shortage at Filipo Marc. I have told many people about the winery and will continue returning. By the way, try a wine tasting event there - they're fun and very relaxing :) read more

A group of eight of us went to a wine tasting here in April 2012 and had one of the best times ever. The owner who ran the tasting sesion was very knowledgable and made it great fun as well. Some of the people had never been to a tasting before, and some weren't even wine drinkers - but between the atmopshere and delicious wines, everyone came out a fan. We got to try so many different types of wine, some I love and others I had never heard of! The selection of wine that they have there to purchase afterwards is quite diverse, too. Highly recommend for a fun group activity. read more

The owner and his staff are very helpful, very friendly and very knowlegeable about the products they sell. Their wine has a fantastic flavor. They also have wine tasting events which are always fun. They also have wines for you to taste before you buy. If you love wine you will love this shop and their wine. read more
