Great wine tasting place in Palo Alto. Came here with a friend who is a regular. Very nice wine guy and the selection is great at the shop. Recommend this if you are in the area and don't have to drive far. Or share a tasting with a friend. I'll have to come back to drink all the wines!

I don't know why I have not written a review before. VVW is the BEST shop for French wine, although it has some great wines from other countries, including the USA (mostly California). I have been a patron since they opened, at least 30 years ago in a tiny location off a nearby alley. I trust them to select wines for me; they know my taste. I'll just call and say, please select a case of (whatever), and I am rarely disappointed. The new management/ownership has injected a new vitality, trying to appeal to a younger crowd. (their "regulars" were getting older, like me) and I think they have done a good job. Please patronize. It is tough to survive when you pay Palo Alto rents and compete against BevMo and Safeway not far away

Great wine shop on California Ave., open for tastings as well as to purchase rare and unique finds. This shop has curated a wonderfully crafted inventory of local, Californian, European, and others wines around the globe. Their tasting menu changes weekly, and offers a way to try wines you may otherwise be unable to. Short flights, full flights, and glasses available! Support local, and shop for your holiday wines here!

Amazing service. We were randomly in the area and decided to explore. We placed an order at a local food shop and decided to pop in for a quick glass of wine while we wait for our order. The person helping us was so kind to break down all the options. We grabbed a seat outside to people watch and they let us know we could bring our food over to eat in their space, so we did! The wines were delicious. Wish we could've tried more, will def be back!!

Wonderful service and great selection! It was a pleasure buying wine here... I appreciated how the clear guidance without any pressure. A gem.

Wonderful shop. I especially love the tasting. There's always a mix of great expensive wines and interesting cheap wines. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, that attracts a friendly crowd to share tasting impressions.

During the pandemic, I spent so much money at Wine.com and got spotty wines, hyped up with free shipping, and so often boring and lacking. I've matured. I'm done with blind purchasing. Vin Vino Wine has been on Cal Ave for decades, and I've decided this is where I'm buying my wine from now on. Why? Number one, they care. About wine, and about me. It's a classic "local relationship" thing. People who come here regularly think of it as "my local". There's a weekly tasting flight, but my preference is the other flight that changes 3x week. Short flight options. You can taste sooooo much awesome wine without having to purchase bottles that might or might not suit your taste. I've learned so much since coming to VVW. These people deserve your frequent support and visitation. On that subject, it's a really great place to hang out after a bike ride, or a crappy day at the office. Cozy tables amid racks and racks of wine. The musics is good, the bathroom is clean (highest quality paper towels ever, btw). Nearby lots of good food from places like Zareen's, Med Wraps, Izzy's, and Son of Wolf.

Knowledgeable staff. Good tastings. However prices are higher than K&L. Nice ambiance. And you can sit outside now as well.

Vin Vino is a wonderful spot on Cal Ave. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. They do wine tasting every day with a fixed flight for the week + a themed flight that rotates every two days. Very generous pours. You can also get single tastings from any of the flight.
