Grape & Gourmet

They were able to get wine for me that no other shop (even the big huge wine store on Laskin) could get their hands on. And for a reasonable price and a better vintage than I could get online! The owners are sweet and helpful. They get my business for everything from now on!

This place rocks… they are very friendly and knowledgeable and go out of their way for you. I was looking for a particular wine they didn’t have in stock which they were happy to order for me. When I went to pick it up, they asked if I’d like them to start stocking it. Just got a voicemail that it’s now available any time :)
They also have a great beer selection and get a lot of hard to find/​small batch brews that you can reserve by commenting on their Facebook and Instagram sites. Very convenient!

Perfect Place for wine & beer lovers alike!
I’ve been here a few times and of course, the place is full of liquid courage! For those on a «mission» — whether it be to party, or relax & wine down (get it?), this place will have something for you.
Personally, I’m a moscato & also a «Mixed drink» kinda gal. But I’ve been here a handful of times, and each time my questions have been answered by friendly & knowledgeable staff. I’ve been here for a wine tasting (fun!), and to buy presents as well. There is a great selection of craft beer, which seems to be the «in» and popular thing these days.
They also sell gift certificates (can’t ever go wrong with those), trinkets– koozies, coasters, gift bags. Cool stuff. Anyone who enjoys a good drink here and there would love this place. Thumbs up.

I like this little store. They have everything from beer, growlers, wine (from very inexpensive to I don’t think so), snacks every beer/​wine drinker craves and beer/​wine knick knacks. My guy and I were able to pick up even hard to find wine. The owner/​staff is supper nice and very helpful. I think they even do occasional wine tastings. Will I return… maybe if I’m in the area, but I don’t know if I’d go out of my way to visit again.

This has become a vacation staple for my family. We have started leaving a day early and staying in Virginia Beach just to hit this place. There is an amazing beer and wine selection. The owners are very knowledgable and you can buy singles which make it a great way to try some craft beers on vacation! We live in PA and my husband now refers to the owner as «my beer guy»

Stopped there last Saturday on our way to the outer banks. The staff was super friendly and quite knowledgable. It was refreshing to have an intelligent conversation about beer with a beer store employee. Enjoyed a growler from their recently added Taps. My wife was overwhelmed with the selection of fruit Belgian beers.

Awesome place to get the greatest of all types of beers! The employees know everything about each beer!

Awesome place. Nice people who help you out when ever you have any kind of questions. Wine and beer tastings. Great place to get a gift. Absolutely love this place

I love this place! So glad my friends found it and recommended it. Their wine selection is amazing and I like the variety of beers and ciders. I truly love this place and the fact that it’s a local business makes it even better!

I had heard great things about Grape & Gourmet and have now stopped in a couple of times. I certainly understand why someone might really like this place. Given the anti-​chain mentality of most Unilocalers, I understand the five star rating that this place has. By giving this a five star review, it’s a way to A) stick it to the man (i.e., big mean chains) and B) promote a local business. I totally get it. Grape & Gourmet does have much to offer, such as a very personal touch to trying out some new wines and beers. The folks working there are always willing to help and make suggestions, which again moves us beyond going into some mega store like Total Wine where you might wander around for a bit before someone asks if you need help. So, from that perspective, I think Grape & Gourmet has a lot going for it.
However, I am NOT one of those Unilocalers who is anti-​chain. I don’t care if I find what I am looking for at a local shop or a mega store, if it’s what I want and you offer it at a fair price, that’s all I care about. Capitalism at work. Plus, I don’t like most people so I much prefer to wander around and be left alone :) But, seriously, I was a little disappointed in the beer selection at Grape & Gourmet. They had a ton of beers, don’t get me wrong. Lots of beers from overseas if that is your thing. But, as an IPA guy, I thought their selection of IPAs was limited and that is what I mostly am looking for when shopping for beers. And, their pricing was a little high and kinda wonky. The way it works is every bottle of beer is individually priced. Yes, you can mix and match to try a variety of things but as far as I could tell, there was no option to buy a six pack of just one thing. I guess technically you could but you will still pay the per bottle price, which is going to run you a few bucks more than you might pay elsewhere for a six pack of a single type of beer. Great if you like variety, not so great if you have a favorite one type.
To summarize, there is nothing wrong at all with Grape & Gourmet. It’s wonderful. The people are nice and it’s a locally owned and operated shop. I wish them well and I know alot of folks love them. Perhaps you will too. For me personally though, it doesn’t appeal to me, at least not enough to keep going back with regularity.

The go-​to place for special releases in Virginia beach area. The staff is so friendly and helpful. I do wish for further notice on special releases so I can plan my schedule — call out of work — around the release date. Nonetheless, amazing and pleasant.

Awesome! Fun event! Free!
They had beers, wines, snacks, and etc. I got to find a really tasty wine named Stella. They have wide variety. From cheap to expensive. From 50 to 100 points.
I can’t wait for their next event;)

I love the way they handle their «limited» releases instead of the «wait in line» free-​for-​all at other local bottle shops. Plenty of brews not available at other places, super helpful staff! I felt like a human being instead of stared at as if I don’t belong and followed around the store.
I don’t think it’s fair to dock them a star simply because they don’t have as much real estate as some of the «best» bottle shops I’ve been to across the country; G&G is by far the best craft beer shopping experience you can have in Hampton Roads.
Join their mailing list and follow them on social media, they post when they get in new items!

Grape & Gourmet opened at about or around the same time that I moved to VB. Over the years I have proudly seen them grow into a very busy independent retailer. Deborah and Kevin never fail to greet me when I enter the shop and that is why I will always shop here. The wine selections are always interesting and reasonably priced. I am not much of a «craft beer» person but I must say that that side of the store has gone berserk over the past few years. Go see these folks and become a customer — you’ll be glad that you did…

Came in here with my friend to find a Korean beer called «Crabbies» and they actually had it! They had two flavors, Orange and Ginger. They also had empty 4 packs and 6 packs so you can mix match your own. Each individual beer had a price tag already on it. They also had a variety of wine but we didnt veer to that section because we were set on getting beer. They also had a sign on days that did beer and wine tastings. My friend and I are planning on going again for that :)

Fantastic selection of wine, craft beers and definitely gourmet food products. Perfect one stop shop for something old or new, gifts and recommendations. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of their offerings. Stop in for a beer or wine tasting event. Happy sipping. Cheers!

I bleed wine and beer.
I’m always looking for a good wine shop and while traveling in the area i saw this place and went inside.
Its in a shopping center near Massage Envy and AppleBee’s. Lots of parking and what not.
The inside is a good size, filled to the tee with wines and beers. There was some food items here and there but not that much. Like there was this tiny fridge with a handful of cheeses… it looked sad. They also have some home décor items with witty wino mottos. I thought a lot of the stuff was cute but overpriced and I could probably find it for cheaper at TJMaxx or something.
The employees here seemed friendly. We got asked for help and they seem to have regulars that frequent the store. Refreshing.
The wine selection was nice however, but my favorite thing here was the exotic beer selection. I’m a fan of craft beers and foreign brews and this place had some products I had never even heard of.
Overall? Considering it was a wine shop there selection was a little average. Especially in comparison to other wine places I’ve been to I was pretty disappointed with the wine fare. I’d rather drive a ways and visit Total Wine off Laskin for a better price and variety. However, I’d go back for the beer.
Beer is good.

A visit to this strip center would not be complete with out a trip to Grape and Gourmet. They are super knowledgeable on beer and wine and have super friendly service. I force myself to make a choice after a ½ hour but could spend hours here wine and beer tastings weekly with a nice crowd if your not sure what you want to try they will take the time and help you make a choice. Stop in you won’t be sorry

Great place! Wow… I can’t believe it has taken me so long to check these folks out.
I needed to pick up a few gifts for clients and within a few minutes of walking in I had a few bottles of wine and some specialty beers picked out thanks to the help from the staff. There was a particular wine that my client ordered at Yard House and one of the employees was quick to identify what it was.
I saw a few cool looking wine racks that I’ll be going back to shop for.
One added element of the place that I really liked was how the gentleman ringing up the goods kindly placed our beer and wine bottles in gift bags along with the tissue paper. Since we had four bags he even wrote us a label identifying which bag had what so we weren’t scrambling around as to who was to receive what gift.
My clients really enjoyed the gifts and liked that we supported a local establishment. This is definitely one of the places I’ll be going to from now on.

There is so much to say about G&G… first off I love Deb & Kevin… they are the best pair to run the store ever, she knows all about the wine and he knows all about the beer, a match made in adult beverage heaven!!! We have been shopping there for years and have rarely been disappointed… and when we have it was because it was some rare international beer or small West Coast brew that doesn’t make it out here. Other than that, Kevin can damn near get ANYTHING… and they beat the socks off Total Wine for personality!
On top of all the wine & beer, they have some great glasses, steins, corks, and all the fun stuff you would need for entertaining and dinner parties. That includes yummy snacks, dips, salsas and more, many locally made!
Wine racks? Baker’s racks? Aprons? I’m telling you… you cannot go wrong!!! They even have the most amazing Christmas ornaments hand blown glass and painted by local artists!!!
BUT… the best part of G&G is that it is money that stays in the local community!!! Not to some big chain that doesn’t care about our city! So stop in, you will NOT be disappointed!!!
