Market Street Wine

I was fortunate enough to win a private wine tasting at Market Street Wine. The store and wine tasting was beyond my expectations. Erin is very fun, pleasant, incredibly knowledgeable about wine, and puts together a great charcuterie board. We had a great time and will be visiting again! Highly recommend!

This wine store was fantastic. I was on a work trip and wanted to go to a vineyard but couldn't make it due to timing. So, I looked up where the best place was to buy local wine downtown. The staff were wonderful! They helped me find wines I would like, held them for me for several hours so I could shop around downtown, provided all the things I needed to safely pack them in my suitcase, gave a sample wine to taste, told me about their beer tasting that night, and even gave me directions to a fabulous speakeasy to visit. If I come back to this area, will visit again.

This has always been my favorite wine shop in Charlottesville. I grew up in C'ville (Dad was as professor at UVa) and am a double Hoo (BA/MD). I live in Charlotte now, but every time I visit my Mom I always swing by to score bottles. The service is erudite and friendly, and I have yet to be steered wrong. In a world dominated by virtual wine shops and corporate bib box affairs, artisanal wine sellers are a must for the soul!

There is always something going on here and you can always find something interesting to drink, but my favorite part of Market Street Wine is Clinton! Clinton knows eeeeverythjng about wine and music and history and is so fun to talk to and makes this place extra special!

I've been going to Market Street Wine for years. They always have a friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help staff. Their large selection of wines are fairly priced, and within a wide range of budgets to meet everything from your casual hangs to your special occasions.

Just popped in for some wine and there was the best, most informative wine tasting!! Amazing well informed staff!

Excellent store with excellent staff and owners who are extremely courteous and caring; they will go out of their way to help you! They work hard to ensure that their products meet your aesthetic needs (be it recommendations or even looking for the products that you want). Their wine tastings and beer tastings are great environments for helping people learn about wine, beer, mead, cider, and sake--which is helpful for developing a palette to know what to buy. It also makes them a valuable social hub for meeting people who become friends (whether they're fellow customers or owners and staff). Then there's the food. It's a great place to find high quality foods and to learn about them at the tastings. All in all, it's an invaluable asset to downtown Charlottesville that everyone should learn about.

They were extremely helpful in arranging two beautiful bottles with my partner’s input - she told them what tasting notes I prefer, and they went above and beyond to provide some gorgeous wine that was exactly to my liking! A really thoughtful gift made even more lovely by their staff’s personalization. Thank you for all your help - they’re just right, and I’ve enjoyed both so much!
