In Spokane for the weekend exploring and this spot was recommended by our AirBnB host. What a pleasant surprise! We were lucky to get in for a wine tasting of some Napa wines. Huge selection of wine. The guy that helped us with the tasting was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wine and answered our questions. There were quite a few people there but we still felt like we were attended to. We would come back and try another wine tasting when we are in Spokane again. read more

Vino Wine - a hand holding a glass of wine - Wine Bars Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I have followed John et al since the days of Grape and Grain. Never disappointed, ever a pleasure.--the best!

Unfortunately have to give this little wine shop only 2 stars. Similar to another review from last year, we walked in and felt coolness and maybe even annoyance that we were there. We looked around and even with 2 ladies behind the register, no one asked if we needed assistance with deciding on a wine. Will go to other wine shops for future purchases. They may need customer service training if they want to actually sell wine. read more

Great service! They were gracious and knowledgeable while helping us choose wine for a family event. A hidden gem for sure!

John Allen and his talented and knowledgeable staff continue to do outstanding work providing great wines to the Spokane area! Definitely take advantage of the frequent in store tastings and the fantastic wine dinners offered throughout the year! read more

LOVE this shop! The owner an employees REALLY know their wine - I came into a tasting a total newbie and left feeling very excited and educated about the wine and where it came from. I also loved their "Wine Club" system - they have a whole back area full of cubbies for Club Members. You pay anywhere from 15-100 a month, and pick red or white. They, in turn, put a bottle a month in your box that falls into your price range. They told me that every employee has to taste the picks for the Wine Club, and they won't even put it in the program if they don't all agree that it's a winner. Overall, you might pay a dollar or two more than the grocery store and big chain wine stores, but the wine is guaranteed (you can bring it back if you don't like it - no joke.) and hand-picked, and the service is unbeatable. I'm a person who has a hard time paying more than 10-15 bucks for a bottle (I just don't know enough to even tell the difference!) and they had a large variety of wines in my price range. They also have a small parking area, so don't let the whole "it's downtown I hate paying for parking" thing stop you from coming in. read more

I'm astounded at how complex the wines are here - I'm a little concerned about how they can afford to sell such great wine at such reasonable prices, however, it seems almost criminal. That being said, I would love to become a member if I lived in the area. I would also consider joining the wine of the month club if I wasn't a member of two already. read more

When I think Vino...I think Friendly, Knowledgable, Excellence and Quality! I only wish they were here in Kirkland and not 300 miles east of me!...Spokane is fortunate to have Vino. Cheers to Vino! read more

Need help understanding wine? Go to Vino. Know all about wine but need a tip on a "well-priced" high quality wine? Go to Vino. Know a little or know a lot, you'll be right at home. Everyone who works at Vino is truly invested in giving you an amazing and educational experience. I've been to wine shops throughout Washington State and I have yet to find Vino's equal. To give you an idea how much I believe in this store: I have a large wedding purchase to make and have access to a wholesaler who is a personal friend. I'm still going to go to Vino because I trust their prices AND quality are going to be better than what my friend can provide. Thank you Vino! read more

With shelter-in-place recently I purchased a couple bottles of bourbon and rye from stores in Napa and Sonoma, CA. These are wine capitols of the world but the staff were very helpful with questions I had. I received catalogs from them in the mail and realized they catered to wine collectors who purchased bottles of wine that were $160, $250 and more by the case. My order of a couple of bottles outside their main focus for less than $200 hardly seemed worth their time. This led me to think about my visit to Vino!. I love businesses where people know and love the product and with my wife's birthday coming up, since I worked nearby, I stopped in on a weekday afternoon with the intention of picking up a nice bottle and maybe some Reidel wine glasses to replace the ones we broke over the years. There were three people working and there was no one else in the store yet it was such a cold and remote feeling. Maybe it was that I was wearing shorts and a tshirt or they could sense that I wasn't the type of guy who normally spent $50 on a bottle of wine. I can afford it, I just don't know what I'm looking for so I normally gravitate to the $25 staff picks with some write-up to guide me. Educate me, maybe I will buy more. I contrast this with the stores I ordered bourbon from recently who never treated me like a piker despite my order being measly compared to their normal customer. I know they have interesting tastings but now I don't think I will be back. read more

Fantastic wine shop! Great selection, perfect location, and a knowledgeable and helpful staff. They carry a wide variety and are always happy to make a recommendation if so desired. Wonderful place for tastings, and they do wine dinners around town too. Wine-of-the-Month Club is great! John and his crew know their stuff! read more

Vino has been a lifesaver in Spokane, and we are proud to be wine club members. Their service is topnotch, and their staff is filled with good and kind human beings who are extremely knowledgeable about all things wine. We've been introduced to many great wines through their suggestions, and they're always willing to try to special order for us as well. Also, you can't beat their prices! read more

A+ AMAZING! Fantastic staff! A must visit :) great wine selection, very knowledgable staff, fun wine tastings (Friday & Saturday) ..... Check out their wine bin/storage program! read more

I don't live in (or near Spokane) anymore, but I would encourage anyone who is living there, near there, or going to visit to make a stop at Vino. I have been a fan ever since they had that place down by the Fox and the Cathedral (on Pacific? 1st?), when I was first starting to learn about what wines I like. Through the years they were patient, welcoming, and undeniably competent. The wine dinners they co-host are amazing. The tastings are well-selected and enjoyable. Their recommendations nearly infallible. They have good wines for all price ranges. Their selection is comprehensive, and if there is something you want they don't have on stock they will go find it for you. Bravo Vino. Keep up the good work! read more

We won a "Wine and Hummus" party from Vino and Azar's Foods at a charity auction. We invited a number of our dear friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed our evening with the folks at Vino! We learned about wine and enjoyed a variety of tastes from both Washington State and Europe. A number of friends purchased wines and my wife and I are looking forward to being regular customers. Excellent varieties from the Pacific Northwest as well as a good selection of Europe's finest. A GREAT find here in Spokane. John and the entire crew at Vino were gracious hosts and patient teachers. 5 stars from everybody in our party! read more

Excellent wine shop. No pretense, and the staff is helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. They offer a wide selection of wines, and the prices are very reasonable. read more

A great little wine shop with a good selection and very helpful staff. They have tastings on Friday and Saturday early evenings for $10 that are quite popular. This place is definitely worth a visit. Only one gripe- the tastings are a little early (they finish at 5:30pm). read more

This place has a great sales staff, wonderful local tasting events at the shop, and a couple of great on-line wine buyers clubs that get you great boutique wines (many from smaller Washington State wineries, but national as well) at exceptional prices...neither the wines nor the prices are found in the big box stores. Excellent wine recommendations, too....I've bought literally hundreds of bottles of wine from them over the years, and not one bad bottle. read more

LOVE this place. Love the staff! and the selection is perfect. It's nice that they get to know you and your taste. Not something you get from the huge wine stores or grocery stores. They are friendly and personable. The wine tastings are fun. Nice to start out a date night on Friday or Saturday. read more
