Stopped here omw to my brothers as I am quartined here since my mother in law is in town and I can t go home ughhhh. I digress...small store I almost missed it . Parking in front is tight. Upon entering I was immediately asked if I needed help by a you g .an with long reddish hair I cant recall his name. They have a small domestic beer selection. But a great iPa and craft beer selection. They so have a nice whiskey stash too if you are a brownie like me. But the wine is where it is at ...great selection and they make it easy for wine dummies like me and put tags on to rate them. The young man was very knowledgeable on all liquor fronts and was master of the get crushed. Found me a nice double ipa..mosaic. great little store worth the visit if my little brother didnt live so damn far away.

I don’t know why people always go on about the owner on reviews. Every time I have gone he’s been a helpful, genuine guy. Thanks for the Drekker!

Great place to find wine as well as beers from breweries in Minnesota. It is a smaller store, so you may not find exactly what you want, but they rotate their inventory for variety. Usually has friendly staff available to help you find something. They also offer punch cards to eventually receive a free item.

The only thing nice about the place is the selection and the workers (albeit, not the owner). The owner doesnt seem to want my money. I dont know if I wronged him in another life or if I dont reek of six-figures, but the looks he gives me, along with his snooty behavior over the last couple years makes me believe that he truly doesnt want me there.Tonight was the last time I purchase anything there.

Best liquor store in the area. Employees are extremely helpful and knowledgeable!

Attention owner, its pretty much a foregone conclusion that you know more about your product than any customer who walks through your doors. So heres a hot tip - maybe try not to be so condescending and go to lengths to remind someone of that when they ask you a simple question. Its a piss poor sales strategy.

Extremely helpful staff. Great selection of wines, but not overbearing. We joined the wine club and it has already paid for itself. Beer selection decent as well. This is where we buy the vast majority of our wine and beer.

Hands down the best place for all of your thirsty needs! Best selection all the way from the hard to find to the big boys that have been selling for 100 years. I would have to say I am a craft lover and they never disappoint. Best prices and a great loyalty card reward for the beer lovers and a great wine club if your more into the vine.

I am so glad Vinifera opened up in Plymouth. I go there for craft beer and also when I need some assistance finding certain types of wine at a certain price point. It is much easier to shop here than the big box liquor stores because you park right in front of the store. I also find the wine club beneficial when you find a good wine and want to stock up with a case!

Wonderful little spot in Plymouth. Staff knows what they are talking about- always friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. For the size of the store, the beer selection is top notch. They are always getting in new stuff to try. I live across the cities and make the trip pretty often to shop Vinifera.

I could shop elsewhere and perhaps spend less, but prefer to shop here for the consistently awesome selection of craft beer they stock. I know when I stop in theres always going to be something new and different to try. Even if you dont live near by, its worth the trip just for the chance to see and try something new. Shop local!

Review №22

This is the best shop in Plymouth! I love the selection, I love being able to ask for a recommendation, and I love all the new things to try. I am never disappointed. Vinifera is better than having a wine cellar of my own. I am so glad you opened, and I wish you many years of continued success!!

Great selection of craft beers. They get basically all of the hot releases. They do limit how many of limited releases you can buy, which I dont mind since it allows others to have a chance purchasing it, however I wish they wouldnt cut some of the 4 packs into 2.

Review №24

In response to the negative review, we love Minnesota wines. The problem is that the best ones tend to be pretty expensive to the consumer and therefor are a tough sell in our store. With that said, we are looking for and have found some fun, new styles that are at a pretty good price point that we are excited to be carrying soon. We would love your suggestions as well.

This place is great; friendly, helpful and tons of knowledge. I like the rotating selections and they have hard to find beer and wine that is sure to satisfy all tastes and price ranges. Its my go to store.

Review №28

Craft Bier: Outstanding. Owner: Makes me never want to come back.I have to agree with some of the other reviews in that the craft beer selection is absolutely outstanding. But the owner... I get a bad vibe every time he is there, including today - and today put me over the top to write a review.In the past few years Ive come to the store, he is so unfriendly, condescending and outright cold to his customers:- He posts video reviews on FB about how great beers are, but when you ask him about a specific beer, he gives you well, everyone has a different palette, so I cant tell you how its going to taste for you answer. Okay, then why do you do reviews?- Rarely (RARELY) acknowledges you when you walk in, as if it is an inconvenience you are there. NEVER thanks your shopping there.- Today he had the audacity to complain when I presented my full punch card, noting ...this is almost everyone today, and “...Im losing money! Im sorry, what?!? Why do you hand them out and complain that people are shopping at your store?Im honestly at the point where I dont want to deal with this guy any longer. The rest of the staff is usually fantastic, and he should take some advice from them. Again, the beer selection is great... but you can now get most of the same stuff at Haskells, Princetons and MGM and not have to deal with this guy. ...Im losing money. Are you kidding me? Haskell’s, for example, thanks me profusely every time I stop in. Always friendly and welcomed. Take a page out of their book, if you want to survive.

A nice hidden little gem in Plymouth. I shop for the beer, not the wine. Consistently adding new beers and a great spot to find the hard-to-find releases. Well-priced as well. Staff is knowledgeable and can make great recommendations based on your taste!

Our familys go-to for craft beers and wine. Always a friendly face behind the counter with good ideas and friendly chit-chat. Love trying a new six-pack (or three) from here, based on recommendations. I hope this place does 50 more years of good business.

I typically go out of my way to support local business, so it is a treat to have such a great shop so close to home. The staff is super friendly and knowledgable about craft beer, wine and spirits. There is always something new in the beer cooler with a strong focus on local beers. Cheers!

Small liquor store with a big selection, great place if you want to discover and explore new drinks.

So much local love! They stock what the Minnesota breweries create so I cant complain. Ive seen some staff be snub-noses to newer/less frequent customers, and my family and friends have made comments about them being rude as well. They have always been polite to me, and I will continue to give them my business.One place i wish they would improve is their handicap accessibility. The width of the aisle next to the coolers is too small. For people using a cane, scooter, wheelchair, crutches, etc its almost impossible to get what you want without being trapped by another customer or bumping into something.

Great craft beers, including coolers dedicated to local breweries, outstanding wine selection at great prices, and excellent service. A real gem in the era of bigger is better and quantity over quality.

Review №42

When a customer walks in talking about a certain type of wine, dont say, We dont sell that, they arent good. Customer Service 101 - dont bash your customers. I was told, if they sold Minnesota Wines (which are not good), their customers wouldnt come back. Congrats, Im not coming back. The other wine shop near me seems to be much less pretentious. To be honest, the customer service was attentive and helpful, but I do not think this wine shop is for me.
