As
we enter into our 12th year we have a lot to be thankful for- the
continued support of customers such as yourself, the success of our free
weekend tastings, and the ability to be able to partner with other local
business as Tide Radio 92.3, Sweet Madeline’s, Colonial Heritage Club, and
Williamsburg’s Next Door Neighbors. With the continued growth of our area and
with more and more national chains coming to town, we’ve found it’s more
important than ever to try and support the other local institutions that have
helped make Williamsburg what it is today. As a locally owned and staffed wine
shop, we ask that you continue to support us. We may keep getting bigger, but
at its heart Williamsburg still has the feel of a small town, and we love
knowing and working with our neighbors.

Wine Seller Staff

Hey everyone! Tired of having to get up in the wee small hours of Saturday morning to get the best goods at the Farmer's Market? Then let Off The Vine do the work for you! They contract with Virginia farmers and producers to offer a wide array of products that are conveniently delivered to a pick-up location of your choice. Just placed my first order of grass fed ground beef, cage-free eggs and honey- can't wait for them to be delivered here! Check out their web page for more information:
