Amazing helpful staff they know everything. Such a great experience at the Saturday wine tasting!!

Had a ticket to the dinner and wine pairing of the Pacific North West recently and it was wonderful and made for a fabulous night celebrating the food and wine of America's Pacific Northwest.  The boule loaves of sourdough bread proved to be my weakness and Matt and Katrina made a meal that was five star.  Florals provided and the brilliant colors of this meal were breathtaking. A truly wonderful evening by Kathleen Morgan of Savour read more

Katherine is an excellent wine steward. Her selection in the store is all well known to her and recommendations are always good. She will teach you the ropes too. This is a special store where you can treat yourself or impress guests. She will keep a history of your purchases and help you find old friend wines too. read more

I wish there were a 4.5 star option. No, I couldn't just round up. I love Gloucester and drive through town every time I come to Mass (1 or more times a year) to see the statue, walk along the ocean, and eat at some cute local place. All of the little seaside towns are what keeps me coming back to MA over and over again. We happened upon this little place in the middle of some pretty nasty weather. We love cheese and wine so we decided to take a peek. There is a LOT of room inside and because we entered through the back we were a little confused at first. The cheese counter seems to be a bit of an afterthought. I would have loved to bought a few different types of cheese, a bottle of wine, some bread or crackers and sat down right there for a wonderful lunch. It didn't seem like that type of place though. The tasting was wonderful and fun. I only tried two and didn't care for either - but I can see the appeal and how that would assist in selling more wine. He had 3 or 4 kinds and enjoyed two of them, so obviously they have great things on "tap" if you will. We purchased a bottle and went back out to our day. It was a cute little stop with very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area! read more

Made my sister birthday so special, great cheese selection and staff is above and beyond

Staff is friendly and accommodating. The tasting was super helpful: it led me to a great wine for the night. Will definitely come back when I'm in town next. read more

I was so sad when the original Savour store burned down last year, but thrilled when they reopened in a new, larger space on Prospect Street. I love going in, sampling wines from the tasting machines -- such a fun way to "try before you buy," -- and finding a special bottle at a reasonable price. The owners are clearly knowledgeable and passionate about wine, always happy to provide guidance, answer any questions, assist with making a selection to go with a particular occasion or meal. Kathleen,"the wine PhD," has an encyclopedic knowledge of wine and is always happy to help. The cheese selection is great too. I ordered a cheese platter for a gathering and it came beautifully presented on a slate board with quince paste and Marcona almonds. What a gem for Gloucester, and well worth the trip for others. read more

Excellent service. Called from out of state to have them deliver deliver their perfect pairing antipasto selection to a local hotel as a surprise anniversary gift. I put them thru some unusual paces as I had the wrong location but after a call they got the job done. read more

I went here once the snow melted into manageable mounds last spring. I went for 1 bottle of Riesling i had had at a pizza party before the snow. I left with 2 Bottles of Riesling, 2 bottles of Malbec, a 6 pack of pumpkin ale and 3 little packages of yummy yummy cheese. The store is beautiful inside. Beautiful built in wine racks and lovely antique pieces holding other wines. The day I was there a row of Zinfandel lined up from the palest pink to Heartier deeper hues caught my attention. The sun came in at just the right angle to catch the f irst 2 bottles, which sparked and shown like the finest of jewels. I moved far enough away to now make a special trip, but since my now favorite wine store is in one of my favorite places and I'm down to 1 bottle of Riesling it is time to go again. read more

Really great spot. My friend and I went to get wine and cheese for a work event in the area. The staff was very helpful and we found everything we needed and stayed in budget. They even called around to help us find ingredients for dinner! Also, the dude who helped us with the cheese was super cute. Wish I got his name ;) Cheers! read more

Absolutely the best wine and cheese store on the North Shore! Excellent and elegant wine from all around the world to choose from. The gentleman (Nate) that helped us was so informative and helpful. Helped us choose some very fine wine, and has in depth knowledge of the vineyards the wines come from, and how they make them. Very interesting! The cheese they have in this store is the best I've ever tasted! The lady that helped us (Christina) was so sweet, and very knowledgeable. We kept asking to try different cheeses, and she was so patient with us. The store itself is immaculately clean. Shining wood floors, lovely decor, and the owner even sells extremely beautiful handmade baskets made by African women who sell their baskets to make money to help their children and families. I'll be going back to purchase a few for gifts, as I've never seen such well made baskets, and it's a good cause. My husband and I will be attending one of their wine tasting events soon! read more

Awesome place! Free wine tasting, cheese tasting, and a great staff that is friendly and helpful without being overbearing. They have a great selection of wines and cheeses and they even have some craft beers. We don't live near here, but if we are in the neighborhood again we will definitely come back! read more

OK - I'm no wine expert but I've drunk a glass or two and have some ideas about what I like - though not why. It is such a relief to come into a wine store and actually get a wine recommendation given what I've liked in the past, what I'm serving and what I can pay. And, the recommendation isn't "well, this is very popular." At Savour's, the owner can offer some choices plus some reasons in words that make sense. Hey - so I'm learning, one bottle at a time. read more

I am very happy to say that i dropped by Savour Wine & Cheese for the first time and can say that i was impressed with the great attitude of the owner, she was very informative and very user friendly. She listened to what my taste was and directed me to a wine that met all my expectations with not making me feel uncomfortable of my knowledge of the complexities of a nice red wine. Thankyou.

Savour is now located on Prospect Street. I have to say that the new space is beautiful, the tasting machines are fun and the wine selection is great. I was very excited when I received an invitation to a party at this new space. This experience was both good and bad. I will start with the good. The catering was great. Many of the folks attending the party were gluten free and the kitchen was able to accomodate the diet without any problems. There were two staff people that were absolutely accommodating, the young lady serving the food and the very helpful young man who was quickly changing out empty bottles in the tasting machines. However, if this business would like continue hosting events, I would strongly suggest hiring someone to manage the events; the owner was the "head of the house" handing out the tasting cards, greeting quests, etc. Unfortunately, she was not very friendly nor patient. In fact, she did not seem very excited about hosting this event. As a guest, this was very uncomfortable and I couldn't help but feel as though she was rushing everyone out. It seems as though the owner has a good handle on the business side, but I would suggest hiring someone to tend to customer service if this business is to survive in Gloucester. This event was not my first time shopping at Savour. I had been in two times before and there was another woman who helped me pick out cheese and wine and I do have to say that she was lovely. I have gone in once more since attending this event and I am sad to report that the owner, again, was not the most adept at customer service. I am sad to say, that I will likely be finding another place to buy my wine. read more

We ducked into Savour after a whale watching tour to kill some time before the train back to Boston and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The wine tasting selection was great, the cheese was amaaaazing. It was towards closing time on a very rainy day and the staff there was so friendly. We were the only ones there and they really made this place such a great atmosphere without being even slightly pushy. read more
