My friend and I attended a wine class at Total Wine last month and had a great time! The theme of…read morethe class was Sparkling Wine so we were able to taste a wide range of sparkling wine from dry champagnes to proseccos. With this being my first wine class at Total Wine, I was pleasantly surprised by the set up. They offered small bites, charcuterie style, for us to snack on during class and we sat at actual tables, ready to learn and enjoy the wine. Our instructor was amazing! He touched on the regions from which the grapes were produced as well as the different types of champagne and sparkling wine. We sampled about 8 different varieties of wine. Some I enjoyed, others not so much lol. Overall, it was a great event and for $20, you really can't beat it. Each month, there's a different theme so definitely head to the site and grab tickets to a class that interests you. You will not be disappointed!

Pop Open a Party (Sparkling Wine Class) I'm not usually a…read morebig sparkling wine person, but with summer coming up, I figured it was the perfect time to give it another try -- and honestly, I just love taking wine classes here because I always learn something new. This class was held at Total Wine & More and, like always, it was a great experience. The classes are typically around 20 people, which makes it feel social but not overcrowded. They set you up with a simple grazing spread in the back -- cheeses, crackers, olives, salami, pepperoni, and bread -- plus water at your seat, which is always appreciated when you're tasting multiple wines. For this class, we tasted about 5-6 sparkling wines. The instructor was super friendly, engaging, and made the whole experience fun -- lots of laughs, very relaxed, and honestly just a great way to kick off a Thursday night going into the weekend. Now for the wines... I'll be honest, sparkling still isn't really my thing The only one I truly enjoyed was the first one -- a Bellini, which was on the sweeter side. The instructor mentioned it wasn't his personal preference since he leans away from sweet wines, but for me, that was the standout. That said, I would absolutely take another class. Even when I don't love every wine, I always walk away with more knowledge and a better understanding of what I do (and don't) like. And of course... it's basically impossible to leave without buying something. I ended up grabbing a few mixers (triple sec, watermelon, and butterscotch), all very reasonably priced. Between the huge selection (they even carry ice wines, which I love), friendly staff, and consistently fun classes, this is a spot I'll keep coming back to. Bonus: Lexi is always welcome, which makes it even better

Boars Head products in the deli and an abundant variety of freshly prepared food items that are perfect for lunch at the beach. They had my Ezekiel Bread so all was good! It pays to be a loyalty member as with all grocery stores and prices are reasonable given it is the beach. Decent selection of beer and wine. They are busy most of the times I've visited and given the location can tend to run out of some items (i.e. deli, seltzer, ice cream).

Located a few blocks from the oceanfront with not much parking and a loyal clientele. The lot was clean and walk up tidy. I popped in around an hour after the store opened on a truck day.

This Virginia Beach store specializes on harder to find bourbon, but does not have a large amount of shelf space as the store is tiny. The stock was clean and organized and floors clean.

I love that it's a one-stop shop for all my alcohol free needs. I tried a little bit of everything to include champagne, beer, gin, and mocktails in a can. The gin was nice in mixed drinks. I just make my Tom collins and nobody notices. The mocktail was the first thing I drank. I got the mojito and it was nice and refreshing. I could def drink another one. I haven't tried the champagne yet, but I did try the beer and was pleasantly surprised. I got the IPAs and loved how hoppy and strong they were. I love this shop for introducing me to all these amazing goodies! I will def be back!

Find them in the Birdneck Shoppes in between Laskin & Virginia Beach Boulevard. The store is one of two anchors and signage is exceptionally good on the building. This Virginia ABC has a fresh new look and is inviting to customers. Parking is nearby and the lot has been clean. The interior although clean, bright and extremely organized with displays is a letdown on size. The bourbon area particularly has less shelf space than others. However still a strong inventory of favorites. They also have a refrigerator offering cold alcoholic items such as Jack Daniels Honey. What has elevated the store is their fabulous customer service from staff and female manager. Twice the manager has went above and beyond to assist me with harder to find allocated bottles. Although this is a store that I could easily drive to from my home it's not one that I will frequent with nearby Hilltop being superior on bourbon inventory. That should take nothing away from one of the newest and cleanest stores in Virginia Beach.
