a person pouring a glass of wine

Great spot to stop in for a glass of wine as you wait for your table at a nearby restaurant. Friendly service and a great selection of wine!

What a cute little gem in Downtown Placerville. It was quiet, kinda empty when we arrived. We decided to get a few glasses of wine and sit outside on the patio. We opted to sit there for COVID reasons and privacy. Best decision we could have ever made. Zacharie, the owner checked on us multiple times. She even turned on the fairy lights. Felt like I was sitting in my grandmas backyard chilling on a summer night living my best life with my friends. They have several wine bottles of the day that are already open and able to be poured by the glass. You can also purchase bottles for sharing and charcuterie boards. It wasn't until we were leaving when we realized pretty much any of the bottles were available by pour on request. I regret not taking advantage of this. They have unique local selections. I'm an amateur when it comes to wine, but there are definitely options! They offer other alternatives like beer, soda, hard ciders. Sometimes they also have live music. Great for smaller parties. Cute pitstop on the way to Tahoe. Parking was free at the nearby garage. Zacharie, the owner, is extremely friendly and made a great host. Would definitely stop by here again if we are in the area.

This place is cool and a great stop when visiting Placerville. What really makes this a great place is the owner Zachary, she is very friendly and easy to talk with. She has great knowledge of the area and will gladly share excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat in the area. The shop has lots of crafty gifts, a great craft beer selection along with an awesome wine selection. Also has a nice little bar where you can sample the different beer and wine options. Highly recommend making the Wine Smith your 1st stop when visiting Placerville!

Under new ownership! They've updated the decor to a handcrafted and classic style. No more boutique. They have have done extensive research to provide the very best local wines as well as outside area wines. You can buy bottle to go or consume on-sight. They sell by the glass as well. They offer house made Frosé, which is outstanding! The owners are tending bar and are delightful.

I must say that if you want a relaxing wine & Beer experience with his great Vinyl album collection you need to visit!

We have been coming here to enjoy wine & listen to music since Scott took over. I must say that if you want a relaxing wine experience with his great Vinyl album collection you need to visit. He has many Beers too that are top notch!

Froze!

Yummy specialty drinks and cute little outside area to enjoy them at! Cute place to come and be cozy in winter and a cute place to go and enjoy the fresh air outside in the side area

The NEW Wine Smith on Main Street is INCREDIBLE! Scott (wine/beer-tender) does a PHENOMENAL job... he really takes care of the guests and is so informative when it comes to the wines and beers they offer! A group of friends met up there (yesterday) and we ALL absolutely loved it! The Fro-zé (rosé-slushie) with fresh mint and lemon peel was delicious, the Rosé on tap was refreshing, the HB beer on tap was tasty and the vinyl records that were played were perfection and definitely added to the classy ambiance! They've truly got something for everyone! Do yourself a favor and stop by... for a glass (or 2) and definitely check out the relaxing little patio area (with a little water feature, grapevines and a gorgeous mural) it'll transport you to wine country and you don't have to leave El Dorado County/Placerville! Location 15/10! Selection 25/10! Service 30/10! 10 Stars! A+++++ Service! Highly recommend! Can't wait for my next visit!

two glasses of wine on a table

f you're in Placerville on a Thursday through Sunday, you should definitely stop by The Wine Smith! They offer a great selection of wines and each glass is only $9! Scott is eager to find you a glass you like, and will let you sample before you make your choice. He also sells wine by the bottle if you fall in love with your choice. It's got local artists work displayed and music on a turn table. The Gregory Graham Chardonnay is fantastic!

The cutest place!! Great service. Yummy wine and cheese board! Has cute items for purchase. Definitely want to come back.

Frozen wine drink was as delicious and it was pretty

This new Wine Smith opened May of 2021 with new owners so in my opinion previous negative posts should be discounted. I didn't enjoy the "old" Wine Smith but this new one is fresh and clean with a variety of wines to enjoy in the bar or to buy to take home. Just yesterday I had a frozen wine concoction that was just delicious and very refreshing. I've posted a picture.

This place has everything from hard-core punk music to alternative and even EDM DJ sets on their amazing stage. Placerville is privileged to have this modern venue in place now. Food: healthy eaters and particularly plant-based consumers such as level-5 vegans and non-commital vegetarians will be accommodated here. I had a burrito that was stunningly delicious. i went all Danny Devito/Get Shorty and ordered some shit that is not even on the menu!. See, what had happen is dat they took the green goddess burrito and they put the breaded zucchini fries inside the burrito! This had had the effect of making Damn near the best veggie wrap I have ever had had!!!!!!!!! in addition, the bartender trotted out this habanero hot sauce that is in the photo. She was so friendly and accommodating, I decided to had two gin martinis while I was there! I myself was delighted just watching her to do her magic behind the bar. So friendly and that was just what I needed after spending all day working with artificial intelligence. But this was no artificial intelligent! she had helped me brainstorm what could be made vegan on the menu. Zucchini sticks in da wrap naturally!! Did i mention dat? Oh yeah, for you EV driving greenhouse huggers out there you are in luck: There are 3 level 3 chargers at Bank of America just walking distance. I recommend if you have an electric vehicle that you park there, plug into the electrify America juice, and come over here for a drink at the very least You now has the information you need Now git it!!

We had a great experience! I forgot the gal's name who helped us but she did a great job presenting…read morethe wines, offered us a few visits to wines, and even waived one of the tasting fees which are only $12 a person and wines prices between $16-$18 a bottle.....absolute steal for how good the wines are. We left with a rose, a red blend, and Alicante Bouschet. Great little spot right on the strip and inviting Italian decor....we will be back with my empty bottles which we will get $2 back per bottle or that towards a refill using tbe bottles.....it's a win win!

I visited Cappelli Wine Tasting Room in December 2025, and it completely exceeded my expectations…read more Marco Cappelli's wines are simply incredible--you can taste the care and craftsmanship in every sip. Add a glass of their Syrah or Pinot, and it doesn't get much better than that. You can tell Marco Cappelli is a master of his craft. They're sustainable, high-quality, well-made wines and unlike anything I've had before. I was there on the weekend and treated myself to their pizza, which was amazing! Perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with the wine. I also tried their charcuterie platter, which was the perfect complement to the tasting. I loved how thoughtful their wine club is, too--it's a refillable bottle system, which makes it eco-friendly and super convenient. This spot is an absolute hidden gem, and I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Placerville.

To eat I ordered the bang bang burger, it comes with beef, shrimps and fries, it was delicious. The service was amazing our waitress was super friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Oh I almost forget it, if you like desserts you should order the white chocolate mousse with coconut and port, they serve it in a glass of champagne. This sweet treat will change your day.

Parking was a headache. Especially factoring in our visit happening on Labor Day weekend, there was a ton of foot traffic. Designated parking spots were all filled and the parking garage further down was just as packed. It took many attempts before we were able to locate someone leaving the premises. The check in and wait for a table was just as bad in the eatery. I used the time to look over the menu. Here you will find classic American comfort foods and fancier items with an elevated twist. There is essentially something for everyone. Lunch for our party: *BALSAMIC BRUSSELS SPROUTS *MIXED GREENS SALAD WITH BLACKENED SALMON *GRILLED LAMB CHOPS *KID'S CHICKEN TENDERS WITH VEGGIES Food was pretty good. The lamb chops were exceptional and although the blackened salmon didn't taste or look so delicious, I appreciated it not being overcooked. The chicken tenders were a nice golden brown and was not over battered and the medley of fresh veggies were really good. The balsamic brussels were good in size but the flavoring wasn't the best. All in all, the food was enjoyed. The one mishap that stood out was with Tessa H. forgetting my toddler's drink. We were half way through our meal when I realized nothing had been brought out to us even after the drink order had been taken. We flagged her down and let her know but ended up having to remind her 2 additional times before receiving the drink. At that point, the meal was already over. 4 stars overall but 1 star deducted because of the soda situation.
