Wine selection: So many beautiful wines to choose from. Warm, cozy atmosphere. Variety and quality is great. We tried several Pinot noir varieties, which were fantastic. Service: Tony, the owner, couldn't be more hospitable and warm. He was very knowledgeable about wines and made great suggestions for our group of 20 people. Ambiance: Staff were extremely accommodating. We had a special celebration at this establishment and found them to be extremely helpful and warm, helping us create a perfect and very happy event. A hidden gem: A great place. Grab some lunch or brunch and wander over here with some friends and enjoy a great bottle of wine and good conversation in a really nice atmosphere. They are located in Fig Garden Village. A stop here is nice for a break in shopping, and a great place to converse and unwind. read more

Excellent wine cellar and selection of wines with reasonably priced wines. They also have a calendar of events, including winetasting on certain nights. Staff is super friendly and helpful. I believe they have a calendar of events and win tasting events listed on their website. read more

Bella Vino Cellar - Oh yeah! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Fresno, California

If you are looking for really good wine, come here. Is it pricey? Absolutely! A glass will cost you between $14 and $17. Is it a classy place? You bet! The "cellar" feel adds to the atmosphere. Wine is all around, red, white, rose... You name it. Good, non-invasive service, prompt and attentive. Quiet atmosphere, spaced out tables that give privacy and comfort. Might be an ideal setting for a date or a business meeting. read more

See all

This place sucks plain and simple and Tony (the owner), is a total douche of the highest order in my opinion, please allow me to explain. I have spent thousands in this place over the last five or so years. What blows me away is that I have known the owner Tony for over 5 years, and in this time I have purchased lots of very expensive wine from him. Every time I walk in there the owner calls me by a different name like Steve or Mike ,I am like who is that? I happened to be there the other night when it was Tony's birthday as I was there for a business meeting with a partner, we spent about $150 that night. Everybody was dancing and having a good time, when I was recording them dancing to share with my wife as to what she was missing. Without notice, the owner and his brother tackled me and began pushing me forcefully out the door from the from of the bar, all the way to the front door, with out any notice or explanation and said "Get out Asshole, no one does that to my family". Since I did not feel like fighting with him, as I generally liked him, I just got pushed out the door and left. So if you want to go the a place where you can get assaulted by the owner-(Tony) and his family and bullied and still spend lots of your hard earned money on over priced wine and still get treated like trash, then this is the place for you. I felt truly sad and let down by this guy. I think he is not well and needs help. If you want wine at a good price, then go to Total Wine and More. You will save yourself a lot of money and potential assault. The owner, Tony does not care about his customers nor his business. read more

Bella Vino Cellar - a bottle of wine - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Fresno, California

Great wine selection. The owner Tony is very knowledgeable and a wonderful host. Great place to stop in and pick a great wine to take home or meet a friend for a glass of wine. read more

Stopped in to check out the place because I have never been before. I was initially greeted and served. Everything was fine until some regulars came in, after the regulars came in, it seemed like I didn't exist. Never came back to see if I wanted anything more. I just had to flag down the bartender so I could pay my bill and leave. read more

The wines here can be pretty expensive but the owner is such a nice man! I came in during lunch when I was working at the Fresno Army Reserve center so was in my uniform and the gentlemen comp the bottle I chose! That's crazy nice and totally unnecessary but still really appreciated. The young lady who was working the counter's really pretty too! Definitely come on in and take a look. They've a nice selection of wines and are super friendly. read more

One word when you walk in.... WOW! You enter these large wood/glass doors to enter into a store that looks more like a vineyards tasting room. Dark woods, chandlers, marble countertops, etc..... Wines range from a handful of grocery store wines to high end wines and also some allocation only wines. Oh they also have a nice selection of beers for those of you who don't drink wine. Prices are comparable to other wine shops in town. Nice comfortable setting for wine tasting and relaxing. Tony and Kathie make it a very enjoyable experience. Just like any new shop there are some things that can be worked on...... 1) Hours M-Sat 11-7 and Sun 11-6 Probably should be M-Th 11-7 or 8 and F-Sat 11-8 or 9, Sun looks ok 2) Its kinda like a maze to get to the tasting area. (This was very apparent during the Italian wine tasting last Friday). 3) Speaking of the tasting area, its beautiful but when busy it gets kinda cramped. 4) Corkage = $10, Had not seen any of the other wine shops in town do this but i think that if a customer sees an additional $10 on a bottle of wine that they just purchased to drink there, it might make them think twice of drinking there. Bella Vino is a very nice complement to the Fig Garden Area. read more

Great environment, great wine, great place to drink with friends. They accommodated a large table of people and we're very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely come back if I was in the area again. read more

This place is such a gem. Came in and bought a bottle of Cabernet . We decided to sit and open it and it was so worth it. Chatted with the owner and patrons. So glad we stayed!! read more

Bella Vino Cellar - a bottle and a glass of wine - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Fresno, California

Yeah owner doesn't really care about you unless you are in the pricey wine club membership or a regular that drops $80 on a bottle every other day. It's like $18 to get a glass which is a total waste. Plus you have to hear about all the rich winos there talk about their vacations to Europe and their private jets. Owner caters to rich regulars always. If you are are not in the exclusive rich peoples wine club$$ then go literally anywhere else and get much less markedup priced wine. read more

We have been here multiple times and really enjoy the atmosphere. The owners (Tony and Kathy) are super friendly and also know a thing or two about wine. The mark-up on wine is consistent with other wine shops in town. The selection is outstanding. Whether you want some good everyday wine at a low price or something high-end for a special occasion you will not be disappointed. read more

Not being a wine drinker myself, I asked fr help finding a decent wine to give as a gift at Christmas time & the person that helped me couldn't have been more helpful & the recomendation was a hit! read more

No wine tasting. Staff took forever to come out from the back room, was rude and dismissive.

Stopped in on a Friday night and the place was definitely hoppin. Tony and Stephan run one of the better wine bars in this area. Good set of regulars, nice layout, great wines, and they will even take food orders from the nearby Elbow Room or Patio Cafe. read more

They have a nice selection of wines, including some great half bottles. The owner is really kind and knowledgeable about all the wines he sells. He also knows a lot about wineries/tasting rooms in Napa and Paso, so he can help you plan your next trip. It's also a nice place to sit and have a glass of wine. read more

The owners are incredibly nice, knowledgeable and want nothing but for you to enjoy your time and enjoy the wine. Food can be ordered from next door at Patio Cafe, which is pretty average. Tastings are usually once a month and I've never been disappointed. Joining the club is well worth it and you always get wine that exceeds your membership price. read more

My wife and I stop in occasionally to do some wine tasting. The owner is always here and is the nicest guy. We always have a good time.

Great find, great place! We came across this little gem several months ago and have been coming back to buy wine ever since.  The ambience is comfortable and at times very lively. It's also a great spot to enjoy a glass of wine with friends. The staff is great too. They're very helpful and knowledgable. They are ready to step in with suggestions or to answer any questions related to wine and pairing.  And the selection is pretty awesome. Stocked with wines I don't see in most grocery stores and other wine stores. And great prices to boot! Kiki helped us out on our last few visits with some great wine suggestions and also served us wine at the table. She remembered us right away and greeted us warmly with a smile. Thanks Bella Vino Cellar, we're so glad you're here! read more

What a great little gem we stumbled upon while in Fresno for a funeral. This was just the pick-me-up we needed! The selection is great and the service impeccable. There was an Orin Swift (Napa) wine tasting when we dropped in. We immediately felt at home. Great vibe from both owners and customers! read more

Great, cozy and clean atmosphere in a high-end location. Reasonable place to go wine tasting for only $10. Owner Tony and his wife are really friendly and attentive. Tony is pretty well versed and knowledgeable. He explained what "tannins" mean and how to taste wine in general. Overall prices are competitive considering they're in the Fig Garden Village. They just need to sell cheese and crackers, you'll get buzzed fast without food. read more

I appreciate good wine, but I am not a connoisseur. So, when I went in to Bella Vino to ask for help choosing a moderately priced wine for an important business dinner, I was extremely pleased with the kind guidance I got from the owner. He helped me pick out two good bottles, and, when he found out we were going to be dining at Parma, he let me know there were no corkage fees on bottles purchased at Bella Vino. A great tip! read more

Came here for some wine after having dinner at the elbow room. They have an excellent selection of wine, a good amount of seating and a great staff. Would definitely recommend. read more

Sales associate's knowledge was so so. The prices weren't too high. If you know what you want give the place a try.

The owner Tony is extremely nice, I met him and his daughter my first time visiting the store. They were helpful and very accommodating while I was visiting, he is very knowledgeable about his product. It's a very cute setup they have I highly recommend trying this place out. read more

They have a great selection of wine and you can order food from the restaurant next store.

Love the place and the owners are very nice and helpful. I agree that it is more a vineyard type shop than a wine store. Nice selections for it's size, and you can find varietals that are not common in other stores. Top wines for the price ranges and selections from all over the world. I have not bought and then had the bottle on site so I was not aware of a corkage fee. I would think a nominal fee to cover washing, breakage, etc of the glasses, but $10 is way overpriced. I could see price tag like that if you were bringing in a bottle, not one you bought on site. A wonderful family owned business! I make the 40+ mile trip to buy from this shop. read more

Recently, I visited both Bella Vino and the Tasting Room. At Bella Vino, I was totally ignored and no one helped me. Therefore, I left since I figured they didn't want my business. I then left and went to the tasting room. Both businesses were fairly busy with customers, how at the Tasting Room, I was greeted and immediately taken care of. Several different employees catered to my needs and were very friendly. Therefore, I purchased several items from the Tasting Room and will definitely go back. I am a fair person and will give Bella Vino another try, but they have their work cut out for them. read more

Closed on a Friday at 7, seriously? This is exactly what Fresno needs on a Fri night and you missed your mark. While dining at Patio Cafe, we watched many disappointed couples stare inside the locked doors , lights on but not allowing customers. Their door window says 9, but 2 staff members said no. read more

My mother came down from San Diego. We drove up from Hanford. We couldn't even enter the door abd she told us they don't do wine tasting. We arrived at 3, they were clearly open and we were denied service. I didnt get her name but she was a skinny woman about 5'4 with short blonde hair cut in a bob and in her early 50's. She told us that we could come back at 4 if we wanted to buy a bottle but her bottles were $40+. As if we couldn't afford to buy a $40 bottle. After she basically kicked us out 5 minutes later she shows up at the GNC we were in which is located in the same shopping center where she proceed to tell us to not come back because they are having event but if we wanted to taste she said maybe come back st 5. She said this with her back turned and walking out the door. I was completely in shock to be treated that way. We are regular wine drinkers and have membership members to many Temecula Wineries so this was disheartening. They shouldn't advertise for wine tasting read more

My wife and I are not educated in the art of wine making. We don't always drink the wine that is recommended for the food we eat or do we consider the appropriate glass to drink out of, but we know the wines we like. We have recommend to family and friends, the wines that have brought smiles to our faces and have aroused our taste bugs. Bella Vino(Tony) has educated us to various white and red wines, that we would have never known. The Cellar offers wines at a very reasonal cost and provides a wonderful atmosphre to relax. I would recommend Bella Vino as a exprience of relaxation, education and friendship. The family (Tony, Cathy, Stephan and Monica) at Bella Vino will treat you all to a wonderful exprience........by the way, you can order food from Patio Cafe that will be delivered to you while you are enjoying a wonderful bottle of wine and Fri/Sat evenings you can hear smooth jazz, live. See you there........ read more
