Vine Wine Shop and Lounge

I have wanted to try this place for years, and I am so happy to have finally done it! The atmosphere is very cozy (best for small groups). We ordered the truffle fries and barrel tots, both of which were extremely tasty. They offer a nice variety of wines at multiple price-points. I do have to say that there were no signs giving you a clue about how the place operates (you have to go up to the bar to get your wine and order food, no table service) and that was confusing.

I had a truly unpleasant experience at Vine Wine Shop and Lounge. The bartender was extremely cold and unwelcoming from the moment we arrived. When I asked a simple question about one of the wines — specifically what a Sangiovese is like — his response was, “It’s like a Sangiovese,” which came across as unnecessarily condescending. The lounge was completely empty, yet we were told we couldn’t move a single chair to make ourselves more comfortable. Overall, the atmosphere was uninviting, and the staff’s attitude completely ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing evening. I would absolutely never come back.

I absolutely love this lounge. It is so warm and inviting with great wine and menu selection. We were welcomed by James, Amy, and Anna. A perfect place for a date or girls outing.

This place is so cozy & has a great selection of wines from all over the world. We loved meeting the owner and all the staff were so friendly. Definitely want to come back often!

Great selection of vino and an even better staff. Their recommendations were spot on and the appetizers were stellar. Not a place to miss if you love wine.

A small wine bar and store off of maple grove. They have a small tapas menu, wines by the glass, a nice patio and a fireplace for the winter.

I popped in to find some good Port. I was immediately impressed with the cozy atmosphere and friendly greeting. After a nice conversation about my preferences and a couple of tastings, I left with some delicious bottles. I'm definitely going to be coming back with my friends to sit back and enjoy some wine at this place.

I love sitting by the fireplace to enjoy the Thursday night free wine tasting experience. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful when suggesting new wines to try.

We came during their dinner on Saturday. They served Osso Bucco. The meat was the most tender, fall apart pork I have ever seen. However, there was no seasoning, so it was very bland. Mixed with the risotto, it helped, but there needed to be more flavor. I ate what I could but got full, so I took the rest home. My husband agreed that there was no flavor, but he ate all of his. I think they had a rub on the meat when they first put it in to cook, but it seemed like it might have all melted off. The salad and minestrone soup were very tasty, and the dessert was good but very dense. We made the right choice to share the dessert. The place is very relaxing and beautiful and the staff are awesome. Have a very good wine selection. We will be back.

What a magical little spot! Be prepared for your heart to skip a few beats upon your entry. Wall-to-wall-to-wall wine with the sweetest little atmosphere. A cozy fire place with seating, intimate, majestic, and worth a visit asap. Check their website for the rotating menu and expect some amazing appetizers or desserts to get your belly full. Every appetizer you order will be dang good. Our favorite, the blue cheese dip, it is highly likely, even if you don't like blue cheese, you will still enjoy this. So many flavors, sweet, salty, creamy, amazing. The weightstaff and owner are wonderful! Attentive, passionate about wine, and really able level up your evening expectations. Not sure what wine to get, make sure to ask questions and taste before you fill up that wine glass. There are so many options, you will find one that sweeps you off your feet.

My husband and I went here last night for the first time. We had a few appetizers and shared a bottle of good wine. We enjoyed the atmosphere, customer service, and the food. We will definitely come back in the future.

Lovely little wine shop with excellent service. I met a couple friends for a glass of vino and to catch up after work. Melissa, our sommelier, was friendly and knowledgeable about the establishment's wine. We shared a bottle of Pasqua Romero and Juliet Passimento Rosso and the cheese board full of delicious tidbits. Intimate and low-key.

Darling wine shop with a lovely dog-friendly patio. Food was delicious! I had tempura chicken and the garden salad, there is a prefixe dinner on saturdays which looked divine, I just didn't have the appetite for a full meal. Great selection of local, west coast, and international wines, I can't wait to come back! Perfect for solo diners or larger parties, the pricing is MORE than reasonable. I think I found my new fave wine bar??

Dear Vine Wine- Thanks for making the world a better place & sweetening my life right up here in Boise. Everyone who walks into this place will fall in love with the owners, feel the good vibes, & become addicted to the fantastic wines I'm a part of their wine club & love it- currently full btw, sorry folks! This is our place to relax, our place to celebrate, & our place to connect.... you simply cannot go wrong coming in here for a glass of wine to "un-wine" (or unwind, lol) or a glass of champagne to celebrate...

This is a relaxing and unassuming wine bar. James and Tim are friendly without making you feel obligated to purchase the most expensive wine for sale. Friday and Saturday, a full meal is offered. The menu for dinner changes each weekend and is posted on their Facebook page and website. Saturday usually includes live music from local artists. There is a small menu of tapas available Tuesday-Saturday (cheese plate, bruschetta, hummus, etc.). I used to frequent a different wine bar in Meridian but I like the atmosphere here better. Also, during the winter, there is a roaring fire in the fireplace! Perfect for those cold nights with a glass of vino!

Such a great find.... tucked in an unlikely strip mall. The owners and service are amazing. The food is great and the wine pours are VERY generous.

Vine Wine is a place of happiness. It's small, quiet, cozy and makes you feel right at home. With the combination of wine aficionado and culinary genius that creates great meals for the "After Six Entree" with perfect wine pairings, it gives you and your taste buds memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you are out with friends or just that special somebody, the atmosphere is great for almost any occasion. Thank you, James and Tim and all the servers who have helped us. You are all amazing and we love every minute we get to spend there.

I have been here twice; the most recent the customer service was so egregious I felt I had to leave a review. We have visited the wine shop twice for their Thursday wine tasting. I will say their wine tasting on Thursdays is excellent great way to find new wines you might enjoy the customer service was so bad I will never go back. I typically go with a group our first time the owner set up tables for us; it was fabulous. This last time I made a reservation in advance; he literally called me two hours before to confirm. He said he would do smaller tables this time; I asked would we have seats he said yes. We show up 15 minutes before our reservation the place is completely full no open tables no reserved tables nothing. I walk up to the counter and ask the owner where our tables. He says they got busy just shrugs his shoulders nothing I can do. I was shocked not a care at all nor any attempt to address the situation. I came back up a few minutes later said what about the patio despite the recent rain/being a little cool-he said he'd wipe it down. He never did; people say out there for 20 minutes never got served. We literally had to stand behind people as they were leaving to get tables; he didn't care at all. He actually just disappeared in the back never checked in with us; never apologized nothing. I was shocked some of the worst customer service I have experienced at a restaurant in my life. Why would you confirm a reservation two hours before and then not have seats for us when we arrive? He later made a reappearance once the dining room started clearing guests by then most of our group bailed since we couldn't sit together (several people ordered food never got it). He never apologized never just avoided me the whole night. It was just horrible customer service all around. I would not recommend them at all especially don't make a reservation you might end up standing.

Great atmosphere, quiet and awesome food! Get the Polenta Fries!! Hummus is also superb. Love that you can taste your wine before buying! Great neighborhood area and good parking. Will def go back.

Attended a free Thursday night wine tasting this evening. It's clear that the valley is discovering this outstanding wine shop! Arrive early to get a cozy seat by the fire place, because by 7:30 nearly all the tables were full. People came for the tasting, but stayed for great wines, appetizers and ambiance! Impressive selection of wines on the wall, and the owner is so knowledgeable! Favorite wine shop!

This is a great wine bar! They have tasty appetizers & a good wine selection. The service is friendly and personable!

What a lovely wine bar. This place is classy, relaxing and comfortable. The people working here were attentive and friendly. Please come here so it doesn't go away.

Great little wine shop! Went in and sat by the fire on a cold night. Great that they will open anything for you to try. Offered free truffles to compliment the wine. Highly suggest!

Small local wine shop/restaurant Limited seating friendly staff. Lots of wine. Serve dinners on weekends with live music

Best wine selection in Boise! The patio is amazing. Try the bruschetta or weekly rotating dinners from chef Tim!

Great atmosphere, lovely wine, extreme pricing. This would have been my new favorite spot. However when you have to pay $10 for a glass of wine when the bottle is not even worth $20, I am very disappointed. I will not make that mistake again. Sorry guys

Excellent food, wine, Service! The lamb chops are delicious and worth making reservations for.

I did a quick drop in to this beautiful wine shop looking for a wine for my wife. The people were very friendly and immediately asked how they could be of help. They did not have the wine I was looking for, but called around and offered to have the wine I was looking for the very next day. Cannot express enough how impressed I was with their customer service and willingness to go above and beyond. A lot of other places would have tried to talk me into buying another brand of wine, but they understood the importance of having this bottle. Kudos...

Vine Wine Shop and Lounge has brought back fine dinning to the bench! Chef Franck Bacquet hasn't lost his touch. Thank you Tim and James for a wonderful evening complete with songs from the Fabulous Floyd. Hope to have many more evenings of fine wine, delicious food, romancing & dancing at Vine Wine.

Amazing food and spectacular selection of wines from all over the region, country and world! Highly, highly recommend a stop at this lovely, local place!

This place is amazing...I just discovered it last night. If you enjoy amazing wine and awesome service, yes the owners actually care about their customers, this is the place to try. Jazz, wine, great food, no t.v., no distractions.

Just finished two glasses of bold red and a cheese plate with the hubby! Fun space with nice outdoor patio and great service!
