Vintage Cellar

Good selection and good people. Beer tasting Fridays and Wine on Saturdays. Enough Said. more

This store by far has the largest selection of beer and wine in the New River Valley. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They carry beers and wines from all over the world, along with other items such as cocktail shakers and glasses. It is conveniently located in the Gables Shopping center on South Main Street. This is a great place to find a nice gift for a friend or family member. They also do beer and wine tastings. more

Looking to learn about wines, or just to try something new? Drop by the Vintage Cellar on any Saturday afternoon -- or any busy day before a holiday, I discovered last Christmas -- and you're sure to get a taste of something special. They have wine tastings every weekend, and sometimes you can even get lucky mid-week. The Vintage Cellar offers the full range of wines you'd expect from a quality store, as well as a wide selection of microbrewery beers and brewing supplies for beer and wine, and even some gourmet cheeses. Not only that, they have a truly talented wine staff. I have yet to stump them with a request (not that my requests are anything exciting), and though some of my questions must sound truly idiotic I never feel like I'm putting them out by my ignorance. They answer every question politely and with enthusiasm -- these people really know wine, and they're happy to share their interest with novices. They also have adequate staff -- I've never been unable to find help when I need it. And their prices are competitive with Kroger's and sometimes better. more
