One of my favorite wine shops in the city. The shop is beautiful and clean. I went in on Black Friday and I picked up a new wine because the one I wanted was out and it was a recommendation from one of the staff members. The service was awesome and they even had free chocolate truffles read more

VOM FASS - Specialty Food Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Vom Fass is a wonderland of local and internationally made liqueurs, wines, bourbons, gins, vodkas, whiskeys, scotch, olive oils and vinegars. Just think, all of the major food groups covered under one roof. You definitely need to spend some time in here, as everything is sample able, and you are encouraged to taste as much as you want. This is a great store to come in to if you are looking for a gift for that someone in your life who loves to cook. The workers ideally know what they are doing when it comes to educating you on the most authentically foreign selections, mine certainly did here in Madison. read more

This place is cool. I loved that they let us mix samples so I could try some barrel aged gin and elderflower liquor before I bought it and some wine samples. The gin was smooth and paired well with the elderflower flavor. A little expensive but I think overall the quality is worth the cost. Lack of star because the smell in here is over powering it was giving many of us headaches. I would stop in again though to purchase some booze. read more

Dropped close to $60 on gifts for friends earlier today and could have kept going. Will definitely either hit it back up or take advantage of its flat rate shipping for $6.95 up for up to $125 worth of merchandise. They have alcohol at this location but we focused on the balsamic vinegars and oils. The one that caught my eye was the calamansi vinegar which is made with calamansi fruit from the Philippines. Mattie helped my fiancé out and was patient with my sample request and product questions. You can try anything in the store and then with any of the oils-- get a nice amount in a bottle you choose. The bottle prices were cute and reasonable. They are also refillable if you bring it back clean and dry. If you are looking for something unique because you are a foodie or have a ton of foodie friends, give it a shot! read more

One of my favorite stores!! If you are trying to spice up your salad game, check this store out! Ask for their oil and vinegar mixes.

Speaking of world, they have different types lf alcohol from all corners of the world! This is where I get my favorite Red's and Moscato's! Pro-Tip: everything in this store makes for a perfect and classy gift! Pro-Tip#2: start a rewards account! Points per dollar with no time limits and awesome rewards! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Omg! Staff was friendly, samples were delicious, history lessons were hard to follow after a few samples, and the ginger-lemon vinegar was awesome! The sangria was amazing and the treats they left out for sampling was amazing. I bought the Lime Liquor which was my fav! And I couldn't leave there without a bottle! Also, you're able to reuse the bottles for oil or vinegar which is a great concept for recycling! Love this gem! I'll definitely be back! I'm so happy I stopped in when I did! They have samples of whiskey people!!! Get your arse in there! read more

This place is amazing! I loved being able to taste the items before I buy them. So many things to choose from here too.

Great place to indulge yourself in free samples of wine, spirits, vinaigrettes, and oils. Ashley, the owner is very passionate and knowledgeable explaining the complexity of the flavors and pairings. Some of the gins and vodkas are made at their distillery in Yahara, which we were told offers free tours every Tuesdays. read more

Randomly stopped into this store on State street over the weekend and had a great experience! They have a wide variety of options from oils, vinegars, wines, rums, gins, tequilas, whiskeys, and more. Staff provide you with samples of basically anything you want- a unique and fun experience! We didn't plan on buying anything, but we sampled a little bit of everything and ended up buying a white wine, red wine, and 2 different oils. The products range in price from affordable options to much more expensive, so it is nice to be able to sample things to see how it tastes before purchasing. The staff are very welcoming and knowledgable about all of the products you are sampling, they have tried everything and can give suggestions if you need. They also have a reward system, for those who go often (I signed up). I definitely plan on coming here more often! read more

Great concept, cool store. Friendly employees and tasting is ecouraged! Great selection of congac, whiskey, borbon, vodka and wines. One half of the store is liquor and the other half oils and vinegars. Some of the booze is pricey but the concept is really cool. Talked myself into buying a 200ml bottle of 25 year congac! read more

Walked by after returning to Madison for the first time in a few years. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable on everything we sampled and encouraged us to sample more based on our conversation of what I preferred for whiskey. I will definitely return next time I'm in Madison and look for other VOM FASS stores while traveling. read more

Great service and a wonderful experience. The oils and balsamic vinegars are the finest. Excellent customer service as they always encourage you to try everything. read more

We always make sure to stop here anytime were in Madison. It's so fun to go through and try all the liqueurs, oils, vinegars and wine! They just started a rewards program too so if you spend $249 you get a free jar of oil or vinegar of your choosing. The program never expires. Only problem is that their stores aren't linked so you have to spend money in the same store to receive your reward. They have some very interesting oils and vinegars that I have not seen anywhere else their calamansi vinegar is my favorite. It's like the best lemon you've ever tasted. So good on seafood! They also have super cute jars to put it in. I love the 50ml stacking jars. Great for a small kitchen with a big pallet! All their items also come with a little card with a recipe for either food or a cocktail. Sometimes I just take all the little cards home to use later with my herb garden. Overall super cute little shop. Very nice sales associates. Delicious product. Just a bit on the too expensive side. But when you can afford to splurge it's def worth it! read more

Wow this place has so much to taste test! The service is just awesome and knowledgeable. I bought the bacon flavored pasta noodles... I cannot wait to make it! read more

Although Vom Fass has an incredible array of oils and vinegars (flavored and unflavored), it's the spirits that I'm most impressed with. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, with helpful suggestions for pairings. Their wine collection is carefully curated and reasonably priced. read more

Really impressive store. Enormous selection of liqueurs, brandy, whiskey, scotch and wine plus vinegars and olive oils. They will assist you in little tastes of whatever you want which is really cool. Reasonable prices too. I bought a small bottle of apricot liqueur myself to take home and use as a mixer. read more

My mom and I wandered into this store by accident and fell in love. This place has an amazing selection of scotch, bourbon, wine, vinegar, spices: all specifically chosen for its great flavor, high quality, and ethically sourced production. Ben, the manager is clearly passionate, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth friendly - great guy all around. I would highly recommend any foodie to check this place out. read more

My friend and I were looking forward to some out of the ordinary oils and vinegars. We stood around, browsed, read many labels, tried making eye contact with an employee but no luck in the first room. Tried again in the next room - same thing. No tastes for us, no purchase for us, no sale! read more

1 word-Claire She rocks!! Great customer service and a warm personality equals a sale!! Thanks Claire.....it was a pleasure read more

Went in to sample and the dude was so rude we left, sorry to be such an inconvenience to your day, but you were so off putting it was absolutely unprofessional so no, I would not recommend going into this place. read more

Purchased two 1 liter bottles on 2/19. Owner said free refill, drove 3 hours today and clerk said only the bottle is free with refill. Dishonest business!!! read more

I am so glad I stumbled into this specialty store. Not only was the staff extremely accommodating and informative, but the liqueurs I tried were delicious. They have a wide range of flavors and can ship to anywhere in the United States for a few dollars extra. I would definitely recommend stopping in to try something new or find a great and unique gift for a friend or family member. read more

I stopped into this store in August and was quite upset with the customer service. The young man who helped me, his name was Jacob, insisted on putting his nose INTO my wine glass. I was disgusted. Not only that, but he was incredibly pushy. I asked another employee if they work on commission and I was told they are not. With prices as high as they are at this store their employees should be better trained than that. I will not be returning. read more

Nice concept. Happy to see somebody trying to introduce public to different spirits and liquors. Thought prices are high is WI vodka for 50 or more! My wife bought some very tasty vinegars. We didn't mind the price, but when I looked at receipt I was very disappointed to find out that when you buy they also charge you for the bottle! It is ridiculous. Each vinegar was ~ 25 and bottles were 5$, so 20% of the cost. Do they buy bottles back? read more
