Dan was our associate at the Wine Market and man- we left with a new knowledge about the history of wine and about 3 bottles. He was incredibly friendly and gave us the best tailored service for what we were looking for and his passion on the topic was infectious! We enjoyed speaking to him and are happy with our wine selections from Tim's! read more

Awesome locally owned wine shop in Ivanhoe Village! They have an excellent selection, making it easy to find a bottle for any occasion. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Whenever I shop here, I just tell them what I'm looking for and they always help me find the perfect bottle. Prices are reasonable, which makes it even better. They also offer a wine club where you can subscribe to receive a bottle monthly or quarterly for a flat fee. Definitely come check out Tim's! read more

An Ivanhoe/Mills 50 area gem. I was given a gift certificate to Tim's Wine Market and decided to pop in for a bottle of vino for an upcoming "just because" event. Upon entering Tim's I was greeted by a very pleasant man that offered his assist me and give a tour of the store since I had never been. The store has various wines from around the world Carefully displayed throughout by regions/countries and types. There are many bottles to choose from - pinot Noir, Cabernet, Rioja, Sauvignon blanc, bubbles... you get the picture. I saw familiar brands as well as new ones. The are various price points here to satisfy any wine lover. I saw bottles from $10 to over $100. I picked up a rioja since I was in the mood for a good Spanish wine. It was certainly tasty and perfect for a just because occasion. read more

Talk about service!! I went in to get a bottle of wine and bitters. They answered every question I had and took the time to explain my options. I can't wait to level up my cocktail game read more

I went to do a tasting at Tim's Wine Market with an organization that I'm part of. It was awesome! JP was our guide for the night. He put together a tour of the French regions that covered a lot of wines that I never would have thought to try! His descriptions were very detailed and he provided lots of information on each wine, the winery it's from, and the effect of the region's soil on the grapes. I left with a bubbling white wine that I genuinely never would've tried without this tasting. I also browsed some of their collection and they seem to have a wide selection of wines. I'm so excited to go back! read more

I've been into Tim's a few times and they've always blown me away. All of the employees are so kind and so helpful. They also have a great selection at decent price points so you don't feel like you have to spend a large amount. read more

Tim's Wine Market is a joy to work with. I am not very knowledgeable about wines and had to create and educational wine tasting for the Central Florida Fruit Society at Leu Gardens. Our sommelier, Marshall Bass, was in Scotland and the wines had to be available in both places. Tim helped me with tasting glasses for the in-person event, and an employee worked with Marshall sourcing wines. Tim shipped wines around the country delivering in time for the virtual aspect of the wine presentation. It wasn't easy, but I always felt like I was in excellent hands. @Tim - Thank you for helping make a very successful event. read more

I decided to take a break from the overwhelming Disney festivities and I ended up venturing around local places in Orlando. I'm so glad I was able to stumble upon this local shop. The guys that worked the shop were so nice! They checked up on me every now and then to see if I needed help, they were always willing to answer any questions I had & even took the time to show me where another store was. They have a nice selection of wines and even had a unique book that I was able to snag. The layout of the store is pretty simple, it was easily able to find what I was looking for. Prices vary from bottle to bottle but it's definitely on the cheaper side. They even have a membership if you're a local (think about a subscription box for wines - only you pick it up at the store!) Wish I lived in the area so I can go back. Definitely recommend. read more

This is our favorite local bar. David is amazing and always makes the perfect wine recommendations. Anytime we have questions about wine he readily answers and I don't know anyone more knowledgeable! We usually order a charcuterie board and some flat breads to go along with our drinks and always enjoy ourselves. read more

Great selections of wines you won't find in Publix or Total wine. Their WSET sommelier can help guide your selection and the weekly features are always interesting read more

If you need any type of wine, wine related products or accessories or have any questions about wine or need to order special wine or need good prices this is the place to stop. Tim is wonderful & so his is talented staff. You will not find better personal service anywhere. read more

Not quite a wine cellar, but almost that type of store which is very fitting considering they sell wine and only wine. The lighting and simple floor pattern were warm characteristics of the shop overall and inviting as I examined their extensive wine collection. I enjoy a glass of vino every now and again, but am not a professional wine taster or buyer. I was thoroughly impressed with what I saw though. The wines were efficiently separated in rows by color and genre. Small tags displayed the price along with the year in case you couldn't read it on the bottle. Both rooms were filled with varying brands and levels of wine. I saw some pretty pricey bottles along with more everyday ones. I did notice a shelf entirely devoted to Champagne and sparkling wines. They even had a $199 bottle of the infamous brand Cristal. They sell Tim's Wine Market T-shirts for $14.95 along with glasses if you don't have a set of your own. They also have a wine/chill well that swirls about so you can chill your bottle before leaving. The associate told me that it's always kept at 35 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have a friend who loves a good bottle you might want to sign them up for the Wine of the Month Club. You can pick up each month's flyer at the store and read all about their selections. They offer neat facts and feature recipes that pair well with their wines. Very clever! read more

I am in the wine business and like to find a shop that offers boutique wines at a reasonable cost (all ranges). This shop fits the bill and the staff were knowledgeable and helpful. read more

I've lived in this area since 2015 and for the amount of wine I consume, I am thoroughly ashamed I never visited Tim's until now (GOT Shame nun will follow me for days). Their selection of wine and knowledge by the staff is beyond impressive. PJ assisted me today in finding a wine that I enjoyed last year and in the process was able to fully break down what I was looking for and offered a perfect alternative that I am trying my hardest not to down as I write this review. As my Pinot Gris was fast chilling in this awesome chiller they have, he then went on to explain the area this wine came from and everything. Nothing like a sales associate who truly enjoys their craft and revel in sharing their knowledge with others. I don't think they understand how often they are about to see me...get ready! read more

I called all over town looking for a handmade wine glass of enormous proportions. The girl in the gift shop at Cooper's Hawk suggested I call Tim's. When I called, the manager Michael answered the phone and I explained my situation. He took the time to let me know what he had and it was EXACTLY what I had been searching for. I asked him to put my name on it and set it aside and that I was on my way. I looked them up on my navigator and headed out the door. Well unfortunately my navigator was a tad bit off and took me about a mile up the road from where they were. I called Tim and he told me where to go and I had no problem finding their shop. I was really taken back by the selection of wine they had. I took a quick scan of their shelves and saw a lot of wines I recognized. Better yet, the pieces were reasonable given the selection they offer. If you are looking for a bargain wine, they are not the shop for you but if you are looking for a good selection of quality wines to choose from, I am sure you will not be disappointed. Michael was kind enough to put up this glass for me since it is a gift for my darling wife. She has never let me stop hearing about the "Olivia Pope" wine glass. Well I decided to find that special glass just for her and after 30 calls, a young lady in the gift shop at Cooper's Hawk suggested Tim's. Well you can bet I will be stopping by and thanking her personally after this. It is nice to see businesses work together simply to help a customer in need. read more

As we entered Tim's last Friday night, a woman inside was chasing her companion and trying to stab him with a pair of chopsticks. She seemed very proud and infinitely amused by this fact as she paused to show us her chopsticks. We laughed as she went back to drinking and chatting with her friends as we began browsing. An employee (who I would later judge to be at least a manager) came up to us with a glass of wine in his hand explaining that he and his friends were a little drunk. Hey, it's Friday night in a wine shop - I'd be surprised if they weren't. He asked if we needed any help picking out a wine - and what our preferences were. As my wife explained her tastes I expected him to start pushing us towards the more expensive wines on the shelf. To my surprise, he honed in on the moderately priced bottles and apologized that they didn't carry cheaper ones from the region my wife generally prefers. He also explained why certain styles of wines were becoming rarer from certain regions and was able to describe in great detail each bottle he brought to our attention. Even buzzed, this guy knew his wines inside and out. After selecting her bottle, they used their giant chiller to get the bottle nice and cold so she could take it to a party all ready to drink. Being a new customer, they took my wife's information and stored it so that her purchases could be tracked since everyone inevitably forgets which bottle's they've already tried. Also, as a new customer, she was given a special discount knocking off a couple of bucks from the price. Tim's may not have the selection of the chains, but with service like theirs, they don't have to. read more

Still my go-to place for great wine, at any price point. I love finding new, quality wines from wineries I wouldn't normally have exposure to. Now that Tim's has several locations, he has access (buying power) to some wines that otherwise would be limited to the wineries wine clubs. Wine classes are always informative and special events (tastings, wine dinners) are a treat! Get on their email list to get in the know. If you are in the mood for a splurg or looking for an amazing gift for a wine friend, the Reserve Club (quarterly) has amazing selections and then gives you a great solid case discount on any wine purchases. I've also enjoyed the wine of the month and the New World red club- if you are a fan of reds, the latter is your club. If you like red and white, the explorers (WOM) club is a better option. Nice exposure to many different varietals and regions. Love the staff, who is always fun and informative. If you have a particular type of wine that you like, let them know and they show you many like wines so that you have many options of new wines to try. No pretension, just good wine. read more

These folks are great. They have great recommendations, really good prices. Such a friendly, welcoming place. They love to help people learn to love wine. I used to go to tasting events here (do they still have them?) and always felt welcome, even as a single. read more

Tim's Wine Market - With multiple stores in Central Florida - Orange Avenue, Sanford, Windemere, St. Augustine, & Ponte Vedra - Tim's Wine Market is an independent wine merchant with a selection that can be easily considered best, both in terms of absolute quality and bang for the buck be it a $8 or $80 bottle. I may be over simplifying, when I bestow the placard of being the most knowledgeable wine expert in Florida. Tim constantly inspires through his passionate reflections on wines and vignerons. Eager to share and spread the gospel of wine , Tim demystifies wine intricately with his monthly wine classes for people of all levels of wine knowledge. read more

An excellent place to shop for wine and wine accessories. The owner Tim is incredibly knowledgeable about all wines and very friendly. The rest of the staff are well educated on wines and very friendly. They have tastings often and I encourage you to join their email list for days and times. I highly recommend a visit! read more

Last week LivingSocial had a deal where you paid $12 for $25 at Tim's Wine Market. I purchased two -- one at the Orange Ave. store and the other at the Windermere store. My experience at the Windermere store was wonderful My experience at the Orange Ave. store, not so good. I had been to the Windermere store the day before. They had a great sale on everything from inexpensive wines to my favorite, Silver Oak ($100 for $75), so I expected the same at this store. I had also seen lots of gift baskets in Windermere and expected the same at this store. Unfortunately, the Orange Ave. store had neither. I was looking for a gift and really wanted a gift basket, so I was disappointed as soon as I saw they didn't have any. However, since I was already there, I thought I'd go ahead and buy a couple of bottles of wine. I was completely ignored when I walked through the door. No 'hello', no offer for a glass of wine, nothing. This has happened to me every time I have gone to this store. Apparently, I don't have the right 'look' for someone who will actually purchase wine. I overhead one of the guys helping another customer so I ended up purchasing the wine he recommended to her. I might give this store one more try or I might just stick with the one in Windermere and Total Wine. read more

Everyone at Tim's is incredibly knowledgeable about the wines they are suggesting to customers. As a customer I feel like I get the opportunity to learn about wine every time I visit. They create tasting events and even have an amazing monthly wine program where we can receive Tims recommended wines. I joined the explorers program but there are many others you can choose from that not only give you a good deal on the wines but also give you an opportunity to grow your palette. I'm not a wine expert but I've heard that I could sign up for classes. I may have to take them up on their offer. read more

We went to Tim's Wine Market on Orange for a networking and tasting event. Parking was awful, and I almost just gave up. SO very glad I did not! Wonderful wines, and amazing customer service. At the end of the evening, Steve helped me choose a great "birthday wine" to celebrate my birthday (although, as others have noted, he steered me toward several moderately priced choices until I helped him understand that birthdays are for $$$$ wine!). Great service, unpretentious, extremely knowledgable- and nice, nice, nice! read more

You couldn't ask for a better wine market. Everyone is so knowledgeable and kind. The wine is top notch. I love everything about this place! read more

I went to Tim's Wine to buy wine for my wedding. I called ahead and spoke to Tim, the owner. He is a wealth of knowledge and had so many helpful hints when it comes to buying large quantities of wine. When I went to the store (Orlando), I was greeted immediately and had exceptional service. I do not know a lot about wine, so I was a little intimidated about choosing wine for 100+ people. Steve made me feel comfortable and walked me through it all. He was able to suggest the amount I would need, red vs. white ratio, and had some fantastic suggestions at reasonable price points...extremely important for a bride on a budget! I am not generally a fan of red wine and I LOVE the one he suggested for my wedding guests! I was able to taste it in the store and felt confident with my purchase before I left. I would definitely recommend Tim's Wine to anyone! Fantastic employees to truly know their craft and enjoy what they do! read more

I was invited to a special event at Tim's so I really cant give a 'normal' review as if I just walked in looking for wine... but I did want to say that i had a fun time that night with many of my friends and that the staff working with us all was amazing! I did take the time to look around and found about 50 wines I want! I over heard the man pouring the tastes of wine for our group giving info about each wine and suggestions on what we might like. I was so inspired that I did end up buying a bottle... which we drank with in 15 min... oh well... it was good! I will have to go back and spend more time there trying out some new wines and enjoying the info the staff can share with me. Enjoy! read more

An outstanding staff that knows their craft. Tim literally travels the world to find the best of the best and passes his knowledge on to those that work there with him. No matter what your budget is there is something there that will exceed your expectations. We went to one of his tastings today that featured an outstanding sausage sandwich with potato salad paired with SiX different ciders and of course bought a few bottles of the delicious things. This was just one of the many events that he puts on monthly. There are also the wine clubs. I'm a member of the New World Red club but there are several others. Not only do you get 2 bottles chosen and reviewed with a recipe to pair with them every month but you also get discounts on purchases. Who doesn't like a discount? Do this, just walk in and ask them to suggest a wine to pair with a dish that you want to make or tell them what you like in a good drinking wine and see if they don't just put you in contact with the most perfect wine. if you really like great food and wine you need to stop by this place on a fairly regular basis. Oh, and don't be shy if you are new to wine. These guys are not pretentious or wine snobs at all. They love sharing what they know and will take the time to explain everything in easy to understand terms. Trust me, i love wine but know very little about the field and they always make me feel comfortable asking any questions or for advice. They really do seem to enjoy doing what they do and want to share with as many folk as they can. read more

Great wine store on ivanhoe row. The staff is very knowledgable and excels at old fashioned customer service. They can steer you to great wines that are not expensive. when we were there they opened a nice chardonnay and gave us a taste. even carried our purchase out to the car. All the employees introduced themselves and shook hands,. This is good, old fashioned customer service that you just don't encounter as much these days. you cant go wrong here. read more

I've been a fan for quite some time. I'm not an expensive wine buyer but I am treated like one every time I go in to Tim's Wine Market. Tim, Steve, Jason, they all make me feel like my $10 bottle is a $100 one. One day when I grow up, I will only shop there! I highly recommend the Orange Avenue shop and feel guilty when I buy my wine from Publix. I will not go into the big box store because no one cares if I do on not there. Tim's is my favorite wine store, bar none. read more

What a great place to shop for wine. Great service and great prices. The staff is very attentive and knowledge. Love the options for the wine clubs. They are always sampling something and we usually end up buying what we sample. Looking forward to attending one of their classes. read more

Head and shoulders above the rest for their SERVICE! The guys remember what wines I like, what my wife likes, and what my friends like, all without looking at a computer for their history. They make great recommendations and speak like normal people who happen to know more about wine than the average shop. read more

Randomly went there about a year ago in December. Literally went in to grab a bottle for my parents and whoever served us was very knowledgeable and helpful. I was curious to see if they carried a Lebanese white blend from Ksara, and despite not having it, the salesperson told me exactly where to find it. I love people who think service before profit. What a gem. Thanks to him, I bought a very nice Willamette Valley Pinot noir for my parents and got my long-sought after Lebanese wine. And as an additional plus,, per his suggestion, I found an amazing international market. Great staff, good prices and excellent products. read more

We were going for a walk and happened upon this place. They were having a tasting, which they have every Friday and Saturday, and invited us in. They really know their wine, but they aren't snooty at all. We had fun and left with two bottles we then had to carry home. read more

I love Tim's Wine Market. Tim and the others who work there are very knowledgeable about the wines they sell and are happy to give you advice - whether you are a wine expert or a novice. Tim's has a wide selection of wines (at a wide range of prices) that you won't find in the grocery store. I've also been a member of their Wine Explorer Club in the past which is really neat - you get several wines a month along with complimentary recipes. They also sample wine on certain days which is a nice way to try new wines. I definitely recommend this place to everyone! read more

I was first introduced to Tim's because of work... my office hosts a lot of functions for marketing and charity events. So, often times wine is purchased. I have always been directed to Tim's place. He came highly favored and referred by a wine enthusiast. The staff at the store are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. They are really good at helping you make selections for your party, or personal use. I love that they are constantly getting in new selections and can make an informed referral because they've tried it. I now shop here for my at-home wine/champagne collection. read more

We came here for the Elements of Wine class. It was incredible! The atmosphere was very fun and casual, while still being very informative. The staff is not only very knowledgeable, but they also communicate the different flavor profiles found in wine very effectively. We will definitely be back for another class!! read more

A+ in every regard. They travel extensively, research and taste extensively and carry that passion back to the store to provide quality wines for every taste and budget. I've been going to Tim Varan's wine tastings since the mid-90s, and when he opened this first store near me, i've been a loyal customer ever since. read more

I called to get a birthday present for my sister picked out and delivered the same day. I live in another state and needed help. EXCELLENT service from a very knowledgeable clerk. No delivery charge! These guys are absolutely wonderful and their prices were fair. Highly recommend!!! read more

I have been a fan of Tim's Wine Market for a couple of years. I read an earlier post from someone who said they didn't get good service, and she felt it was because she didn't look well dressed enough...I just don't get that since the first time I went in, was probably in studio gear, with jeans and a little clay on my clothes somewhere. They seemed to overlook my mess totally, lol. I have always felt welcomed and valued as a customer. The type of service you get at Tim's makes you feel like an old friend by your second visit. They keep a record of what I buy, but they also remembered me and my likes and are quick to recommend something based on that. I love that they have small quantities of unique wines that you can't buy elsewhere. Of course the only problem with this is if you find one you love and want to stock up on it... It doesn't matter, there's always another one just as amazing. I just joined their "wine of the month" club and can't wait to pick up my first couple of bottles of "something new". I'm a huge Fan... read more

Love, love, love Tim's Wine Market! I've been shopping there for several years and I love that I can always walk out with a new, interesting bottle that is reasonably priced. Tim and the staff sample thousands of bottles a year (what a great job!), but only let those through that are truly special and a great value for the money. I have had many a wonderful $10 bottle of wine from Tim's, as well as those on the higher end. Not only do they have a dynamite selection, but the customer service at Tim's is way above and beyond any other wine store I've been into in Orlando. The staff is professional, friendly, and they always remember your name. Based on my purchases and the wines that I've told him that I've enjoyed, Steve has always been able to steer me toward something new that he knows I will love (and I always do!). They carry wines from all over the world, and Steve always remembers that my home state is known in particular for its Pinot Noir and has a bottle ready to recommend. The entire staff seems to really enjoy their jobs (they've all been there for years) and they really enjoy ensuring their customers find wines that fit their particular tastes. My favorite thing to do is go in and tell the staff what I'm eating for dinner that night, and how much I am willing to spend. They always steer me to a bottle that pairs perfectly and fits my budget! If you enjoy wine but don't know much about it, Tim's is definitely not the kind of place where you will be stuck on your own staring at rows and rows of similar looking bottles. Someone from the staff will always assist you in your selections, but they are never pushy or overbearing. Tim's has been such a success because they genuinely create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I always walk out the door with a smile. read more
