Buon Vino Inc

Hubby and I are new to the area and trying to figure out our new go to spots and Buon Vino is definitely going to be one! Dan made us feel like old friends and his knowledge on wine is great without being snobby and pretentious. We did a blind tasting and both pleasantly surprised with how fun and delicious all wines were. We loved the experience so much that we joined the wine club. Cheers to you Dan, you’re quite THE MAN!!!

I can’t say enough nice things about this place. They go above and beyond there!!! Amazing wine and amazing staff. Love you guys !!!

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST WINE BAR I HAVE EVER BEEN! Walnut creek has several other wine bars, which you end up paying a fortune for mediocre wine served with a side of attitude from the staff. Boun Vino is quite the opposite!
Dan, Katie, and Jackie are very welcoming, friendly and generous. It feels more like they are welcoming you into their home, rather than a wine bar. All three are very knowledgeable and take time to explain things to you. They are very aware of where you are in the tasting and always make great recommendations. They carry on nice conversations and can be silly at times, which makes it fun and more personal. They aren’t pretentious or snobby, like many wine people can be. Dan, Katie, and Jackie are all around good people, which makes me want to continue giving them business. Whenever I have friends visiting, I bring them here. I go here probably twice a month… It’s that good!
This place is also DOG FRIENDLY! So, automatically it soars to the top of my list.
They always have new wines coming in and on rotation, which is really great because they have new wines to try every time I go. This has become my new place to stock up. It used to be Bevmo, but you can’t beat Boun Vino’s price or quality.
I encourage everyone to stop in and have a go at this amazing place! Great people, great wine, great environment! Doesn’t get better than that

This is seriously the best date night, girlfriends day, etc! The entire staff always makes you feel like family and the wine has always been superb. Also not many places in Walnut Creek, if any, have wine tasting with 4 pours and an extra splash of your favorite for $ 10! They have a wonderful back room that you can rent out for a private event. You provide whatever food you want to serve and they provide unlimited wine for $ 25 a person! We were fortunate enough to have our engagement party there last year and everyone LOVED it! Can’t go wrong stopping here before dinner, an afternoon, whenever!

**Updating my review to include the wine club
Since I first visited last July, I have joined the wine club and it is a great deal. You get two bottles every month and they have some times have pick up party events. I have gone to a few and they are always a fun time and a chance to meet other club members. Everyone in the club that I have met are very nice and it makes the events that more fun. I highly recommend that if you enjoy the wine, consider signing up. It’s much better than picking up a couple of bottles at Safeway :)

What a wonderful place. Friendly service very attentive and you feel relaxed here. Not a good deal if you want to buy a glass. A bottle is just 2x — take it home and enjoy. Not sure if it gets uncorked here.
May join the club — it looks like a good deal considering the events and the area — no comp tasting tho unless it’s new wines.
Now that bevmo has increased prices and shut down sat tastings, this place is a good option if you like wine tasting

My family and I had such a great time at Buon Vino this past weekend! We celebrated my moms 55^th birthday in their private room in the back. Jackie, Dan, and Katie were so attentive to our party of 16 even when you could hear the shop was filled with people in the front. My dad ended up purchasing a wine and they created a custom label with a picture of my mom and dad and the date, it was beautiful!

Dan and his girls are AMAZING! I held a private event (baby shower) and rented their back room. They exceeded my expectations! We were able to park in the back and bring in all of our boxes through their back entrance. Dan himself along with several other ladies helped us carry things in, clean up and take things out to our car. They have many options for how you want the wine served for your event, a seated tasting, educational tasting or you can have someone in the room with you pouring wine for all your guests. If you are having an event look no further, this adorable wine bar will cover all of your needs and leave your guests talking for months.

Katie and Dan know their wine! Had a wonderful afternoon tasting wines and learning the ins and outs of blind wine tasting. As a novice at wine tasting, they were very informative and had a wonderful selection of wines. Definitely will be returning next time I am in Walnut Creek!

My third time in this wonderful shop – dan-​katie and jackie were all great!!! exceptional wines at exceptional prices. Very good knowledge of wines and convinced me I dont have to pay high prices for great wines!
Keep it up guys.
also looking forward to having a private event there in the near future.

This is such a cool spot to have right in the heart of Walnut Creek. I love the staff and occasionally the family is in their tasting. They are all very genuine and sweet and go out of their way to give you the best experience. It definitely a unique place with amazing well renowned wines from Sonoma and Napa Valley at great prices. They have a private room for private party that I hope to get my company to utilize in the future. I like that they also do custom labeling for you or events. Every staff member provides the same great experience everyday. They all do their research and know their wines and give great descriptions and information for those connoisseurs out there. Love the environment there as well, bring your kids, pets, friends, family and you will all enjoy it! Thanks for taking care of me each time I visit. Katie, Dan and crew, you rock!

Did a wine tasting there as part of the 21 year old son’s birthday. Staff was very knowledgable and son felt cool buying up a case of his own selections at a reasonable price. We’ve been enjoying the wines over the holidays and son has been very proud to share his knowledge. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Staff is friendly
Owner is fun and charismatic
Wine is great and very well priced
Must try

Wonderful wines. Wonderful staff. We will definitely be coming back.

Really like Buon Vino’s concept for this place and it is a welcome addition to downtown Walnut Creek. Dan, Katie and Jackie are exceptional hosts and are obviously passionate about wine. Just recently had a vacancy in my wine club roster (we only allow ourselves 3 wine clubs each), which has now been filled.
I’ve been a regular for nearly a year now and only see Buon Vino doing greater things as time goes on. Good wine, reasonably priced, without the drive to Napa!

I am ashamed that I didn’t know a new wine bar opened a year ago and I just found out from a friend of mine. This is my hood, yo!
Dan and his wife run this place, and they are the friendliest peeps ever. My bf and I went here with another couple on a Friday night for wine tasting and it was a fun time had by all. The tastings usually cost $ 10 for 4 tastings but livingsocial had a 2 for 1 deal that made this deal even sweeter.
I tried the chard, rose, malbec and cab. All 4 were fantastic, which is unusual for wine tasting because usually there is 1 or 2 good ones, and the rest are just meh. Prices are reasonable as well, most bottles are under $ 20.
I love their location and vibe, will return for sure.

We happened upon their first birthday party yesterday, with $ 5 tastings (½ off), food and a photo booth. Fun! We were greeted warmly by the owner, who even handed me a purse hook to use for my bag. He is genuinely happy and very enthusiastic about his business… and about wine, which is great since that’s his business. You pick four wines to taste and, since there are eight total, my honey and I decided to split them up so we could taste a little bit of everything.
I thought all of the wines were at least good, if not very good, and we left with bottles of the Carneros Chardonnay and a Merlot. I appreciate their business model with no bottle over $ 20 and at least one new wine each week. They also waive a tasting fee if you buy three bottles and will give you a $ 1 discount for empty bottles that you bring back.
We’ll be back.

After hearing about this place from a friend and reading all the reviews on Unilocal I decided to give this place a try on a Tuesday. My commute is on the bart and this place is less than .5 miles from the bart station and a really easy walk.
The owner and his sister are beyond friendly and were nice enough to give us a talk about their business and the wines they choose. I like the concept of tasting without the preconceived notions of a «good» winery or «bad» winery. My husband and I did 2 tastings so we got to try everything. My favorites were the Viognier, rose, and the merlot. The nice thing about this place is that they change their wine every so often so if you come back every 3 weeks you bound to get a new selection. If you bring you bottle back after opening it you can get 1 $ off your next purchase. Not to mention the wine is less than 20 $ a bottle.
Katie the owners sister was telling us that pretty soon they are going to start making champagne. Super excited about this! I think it will be a nice addition to the already great wine bar.

It’s sad that it actually takes a Living Social coupon for me to have to visit this location!
I came in today after purchasing a $ 10 wine tasting and I have to admit that I’m happy I did :-) as I walked in all the tables were occupied but Katie did a very good job and acknowledged my presence and letting me know that she would be right with me. In about 5 minutes after I walked in me and my babe we’re finally drinking some wine! :-) with the coupon we were able to try 4 different wines four of each.
The wine tasting experience was not bad at all although the small location I have to say that I was very pleased with the service. All the different wines that I tasted were listed on the wall and as a visual person I was very happy to see that. Along with wine tasting you were able to taste there sea salt bread sticks which I have to admit were very good!
All of their bottles of wine were less than $ 20 which was also a very good deal. I could not walk out without buying a bottle.
I definitely thank Katie for her service but also thank LivingSocial for providing the coupon ad because I don’t think I would have came if it wasn’t for it.
I think the only thing that I have to complain about if I had to complain was that the business did not have their name in front on the building which made it very difficult to know where the location was I’m guessing they just open so it’s going to happen soon! But just thought I would point it out.

I… LOVE…THIS…PLACE!
Thanks not only to Unilocal for bringing this place to my attention, but thanks again, to a livingsocial deal for providing me a $ 10.00 tasting for 2 that drew me in here a little more quickly… just wish that other person was able to taste with me… oh well… who said you can’t enjoy wine tastings by yourself? :)
It was a hot day in d. t w.c. I was running some errands nearby, when I suddenly noticed Buon Vino staring at me… could it be?(I thought)…the new little wine tasting place I’ve been so eager to try? Of course it was. And being I knew the people that would usually attend a tasting with me would be unavailable any time soon, I figured «There will always be another time» and headed on over prepared for my tasting experience.
The place is quaint and small, though decorated beautifully. I was greeted and taken care of this day by an exceptionally, personable friendly girl by the name of Jacky. She was an absolute doll, and made my first experience here a memorable one. I mentioned to her the LivingSocial deal and asked if it was ok if it was just myself… it of course was :)
I ended up trying most of the wines they offer: 3 reds and 3 whites I believe. The whites were my absolute favorite! Especially their Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. The taste and flavor of most the wines were phenomenal– lots of personality and well balanced structure; and might I say, extremely reasonably priced. I ended up taking a bottle of Pinot Grigio home with me.
I absolutely had a fan tab time here and genuinely enjoyed the wines. Can’t wait to come back!
