Reviews of The Urban Grape (Winery)

Timothy Fraser

Fun place! My fiancee and I have really enjoyed coming here for the free wine tastings on Thursdays, Fridays, or Saturdays. Good place to take friends on those times. Standing only; only a few benches to sit down at.

Lovely, friendly attentive service - definitely going back

I've been twice, both times the sales associates have given great recommendations and have been very kind and helpful. Their selection is impressive, I will definitely be back and would recommend them to anyone.

Different way of organizing wines. More relatable.

Brian Betty

The owners knowledge is astounding. His wine tasting events are well worth it. I didn't spend a ton of time with the selection but it seemed quite good.

John Yates

Truly unique wine shop. The wine tasting experience is closer to participating in a book club at a friendly neighborhood bookstore. We have met multiple folk who have become friends we see outside of the Urban Grape. Oh, and great friendly staff.

Veronica Martell

Went to a tasting last night. Very informative and welcoming staff!

Dave Pietricola

Excellent selection of things you can't get anywhere else easily. Hitachino Nest can regularly be found here, and they have the most diverse selection of whisk(e)y around.

James Murray

Best place to buy wine in Boston. I never leave one of their free tastings without a bottle. To top it off, I have even been able to get a taste of a few Scotchs while trying to decide which one to get!

Elizabeth LeBlanc

Urban Grape has tastings every Thursday from 5 - 8pm! I happened upon the rose tasting and it did not disappoint. There's an amazubf selection of all kinds of grapes bottled up from dark red to crisp whites and everything in between. The staff is super knowledgeable and can help you find the perfect pair for your dinner party or welcome gift! Highly recommend.

Great people and staff - they've always been very helpful and their suggestions spot on. I love the tastings they have! Their stuff can be a bit pricey, especially their beer, but nothing different than any other craft beer store.

Jillian Burgess

Love this store! So many free tastings and they are not limited to just win, but also liquors and beer/ciders. Fantastic staff and wine selection. I am eager to read their book and learn more about the unique organization of the wines. So glad to have this store in the South End neighborhood.

Megan Behrens

Urban Grape is a great wine store in the South End. The owners opened this store after they had great success with the Chestnut Hill store. The store has a great selection of wines, beer, and other specialty liquors. The best thing about the store is that they offer Geek Outs and specialty tastings. They frequently bring in vendors to sample their products, which is a great way to try new wines. The Geek Outs are 1-2 hour free classes where they have an expert talk about a specific alcohol. Sometimes they also do food pairings in the class as well. Sign up for the newsletter so you can see when all of the e vents are.

A nice wine, beer and spirits store staffed by nice, competent sales staff.

Kathryn Tringale

Hadley and TJ (the owners) are so friendly and give this liquor store a great neighborhood feel. They make wine very understandable and accessible through their "number system" to figure out what type of wine you truly like. The beer selection is great, and the monthly events that they have are super fun. I went to the Holiday Hosannah event on a Sunday night for some holiday cocktails paired with yummy apps, and the week before some beer with delicious Chinese food catered by the Mei Mei food truck.

Mark Robinson

Exactly what you hope to find in your local wine store. The staff is extremely kind, knowledgeable and full of great advice to help you pick out wines both in your comfort zone and to help you branch out. I am continually impressed with the customer service, selection of both wine and craft beer and the creative and fun weekly tastings. In an area chock full of options, Urban Grape stands out as a clear winner with their complete customer experience.

Giles Blaney

Urban Grape is a wonderful specialty liquor store. Though they are a bit pricey they make up for it in their selection of hard to find items. Personally I go here for their beer selection, they carry many hard to find beers that are difficult to get in other stores. In addition their staff is typically very helpful and are able to suggest items based on your taste. I recommend Urban Grape if you are looking for a special hard to find beer, wine, or liquor.

Great craft selection. First time visit for this out of towner. Wanted to pick up a pack to enjoy with husband while here for a conference. Female customer rep was very helpful and directed me to the pick your own, pre-chilled selection. Perfect! Selected four local IPA's which were all great.

Catherine Martelly

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, great selection of a variety of price points and types. The best part is the layout of how the wines are displayed: great way to learn your pallette and of course, very visually appealing
