Are you looking to go for a wine tasting without driving hours out of the city and don't mind that there aren't grapevines in the yard? This is the place to check out! I saw it on TV once and had a mental note to go. The building that houses the winery is something you would expect in Tuscany, beaming with history and old charm. Little will you remember that you are in Dorchester. The owner Bruno, straight from Italy, gave a thorough review of all the wines and the making that happens right at the facility. The grapes are all flown in from CA and processed the same way in there as if they were home grown. They age the wine in barrels there until they are ready for bottling. The tasting with sommelier Sam was hands on. We received a plate of cheese and pepperoni to taste in conjunction with the wines to bring out the flavors. All the wines we tried were fantastic. I loved the Muscat Cannelli and the Super Tuscan. We bought a bottle of both. I enjoyed the Cannelli on a lazy weekend afternoon and will be going back for more. The charge for the tasting is $10 a person, but if you buy a bottle it is waived. Bottle prices range from high teens-$20's. The wines are very high quality and worth the prices. Many have won awards. The tasting times are limited, I think just Saturdays from 1-4. The visit was a mini wine education and the tastings were plentiful. Put this place on your weekend agenda! read more

One of my all time favorites - mostly during the colder times of the year (which I dread thinking about right now in the middle of this beautiful summer! Cringe!! #Not ABigFanOfWinter). The wine is definitely good. One has to give credit to the management for taking such good care of this unique set up and the fact it is so close to the city. And Kudos to the staff as well. Some of the best bar tenders and waiting staff I have seen in the city (and really brilliant for Dot!) I have been here several times with coworkers for holiday parties and with a bunch of friends for special events. It is recommended to call and check before hand because there is almost always an event going on. I recommend going here for some fun wine tasting and buy some wine that you like and then hop on to Venezia next door for some good food and some more drinks. And remember - always get a cab or have a Designated Driver tag along! Again - always call before going to make sure they don't have an event going on. read more

My girl friend and I had an amazing tasting. Despite the COVID set up Vito did an amazing job helping us learn about wine and the production process of the Boston Winery wines we tried. I would come back because of the experience Vito gave us. Very very knowledgeable. read more

Love this winery! Have been here for a Bridal shower, bachelorette, and tasting. The people are very sweet and helpful. The girl who did our tasting this past Saturday was so sweet, personable, and was well educated on the wines. The rose is my absolute favorite rose! read more

I took my mother here as a part of her 60th bday celebration and we had an absolute blast. It's a family owned winery and they make you feel like one of the family from the moment you walk in. The two brothers who own it were constantly walking around and interacting with people, inviting people to come to their hourly tour of their storage/production room, and staff were even making free pizza for folks to take while they were drinking wine. I bought the $15 tasting and tour package, and I have to say it's a great deal. It includes 5 tasting glasses and a 30-40 minute tour of the facility. One of the brothers who co-owns the winery led our tour and it was very clear he was super knowledgeable about the history of the area and the wine. The tasting room is absolutely gorgeous as well, and the wine was delicious. I definitely will be making a trip when I go back! read more

To start, all the wine is amazing. This is such a fun, beautiful spot for any time you are looking for something cool in the city (or really just anything in general). But what keeps us coming back is that the family is so hospitable. Every time we've been there, one of the owners has been behind the bar. And they are just the nicest people. So overall, the experience is amazing. Every customer is special. AND the wine is amazing. What else could you ask for? Tonight we went to the Thanksgiving pairing/tasting and brought some friends with us - all the food was fantastic and the wine was, of course, phenomenal. But in addition to that, Vito made the whole experience special and explained all the pairings. So we got great food, great wine, and a really special event. I just absolutely love this place. read more

Who knew this was even in Boston? I didn't, and have been here for years- but it is here and it is a fun little activity to do. I went one saturday with the boy, we got there for the last tasting, probably was around 5pm (maybe 6, not sure). There were two other couples already in the back where the tasting happens. The staff was really laid back and friendly. It was $10 a person, and you get 3 tasting chips. The tasting was really nice, the wine was good, and the staff was very knowledgable about their wine. It seems to be a family thing. They showed us the barrels of grapes that were fermenting (or whatever they do in-between being grapes and wine) They really explained the whole process, I had a god time! They brought us out a pizza to snack on while we tasted which was a pleasant surprise. read more

This place is great! I took my mom who has been to wineries all over the country and we both agreed that the 10 dollar fee for the wine tasting and tour was real a steal. We got 3 full glasses of awesome wine followed by a very friendly tour and we got to keep the wine glass. The grapes are from shipped in from Napa or Tuscany, or wherever you want, then You stomp, You bottle, You label and You enjoy. The deal with this place is that you fall in love with the wine and the experience , then you figure out how to get in on the action by making your own wine. It seems expensive at first, but it works out to be only 12 bucks a bottle for some really nice, high quality stuff. I'll be stomping grapes in no time. read more

Everyone here is very friendly and ready to talk wine. Not only it it a great party venue and fun place for private events, but you can enjoy a quiet tasting if you come here early enough. A welcoming spot if you want to just sit and enjoy a glass (or more!) of wine. Rumor has it that they will open soon on Sundays (maybe other days or longer hours too) and have outdoor seating for the summer. read more

What a wonderful place. One minute I was in Dorchester, the next thing I know, I felt like I was transported into what felt like a centuries old winery in the middle of the Italian countryside. An eclectic mix of fieldstone and brick walls accentuated by the occasional wrought iron fixture made for a welcoming entrance into a facility surrounded by all the trappings of a modern facility with all the charm and character of a much older winery. Oh, and did I mention that the two wines I sampled were exceptional....... Gracie! read more

This place might be great, but they are so hard to get in touch with I would never even know. I was attempting to plan a corporate event outing here and I called and emailed numerous times with no response. read more

Ralph was by the far the best tour guide we have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable about his history and wine. 10/10 highly recommended!! read more

This is a great little winery. We got three samples and they showed us how they make wine there in the middle of Boston. It's pretty cool and a fun way to spend an afternoon. read more

great spot. so glad i found online. will return and even bought a few bottles to take home.

This is a hidden gem!!!!! My husband, son, and daughter spent a few hours doing a tour and tasting. I can't believe we have lived 20 minutes away, and not heard of the winery. What a learning experience!!! Ralph gave us the tour, and knows the history of every barrel. Everybody working interacted with us in a friendly way. No pressure to buy, but that didn't stop us from buying 30 bottles. I must say the wine is amazing!!! And I am a wine snob!! I plan on having an event here in the future...have to find a reason for one! They were setting up for a wedding as we were leaving. Amazing, Also, for the non wine drinkers, walk over to the distillery to try the coffee liqueur and maple cream liqueur..and scotch. Also after tasting, purchased theses as gifts. Espresso Martini . read more

Went to a recent dinner at the winery featuring wine paired with 4 courses. The food was pretty good, but the high point of the evening was the wine and the hospitality. Thoroughly enjoyed each of the wines and the descriptions provided by the sommelier. Very entertaining and insightful. We were also allowed to take a tour of the winery and meet the wine makers who were more than eager to discuss the process and wine in general. For those of you interested in the wine making process, it's certainly worth checking out their events and spending some time at the winery. Nice people, great product. read more

I've been making wine here for a couple of years. Everyone in the wine/restaurant trade is always impressed with the quality. This hidden gem produces world class wines. read more

Awesome outdoor seating. Very COVID friendly, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and above all, really tasty wine! You can also pick up a 6 bottle case of wine for a steal! read more

I'd give it more stars if I could! I love everything about this place. The ambiance, the location, and of course the wine! They have a great variety and I struggle to leave with less than a case very time I visit. But the best part is the staff. They go above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable while also educating you on what you're drinking. I can't wait to go back! read more

My family and I had a wonderful time wine tasting at Boston Winery. Staff was friendly and welcoming. We tried 5 delicious wines. We each had a tasty personal pizza. It was nice to be able to make reservations in advance and sit outside. Although, the inside is a beautiful space. We will be back! Thanks! read more

I recently through my boyfriend a surprise birthday at the Boston Winery. From my very first meeting with Rhianon, till the end of the event the service was nothing less than excellent. I had a vision of what I wanted for the event. What was wonder was Rhianon's ability to visualize what I wanted and use her expertise to improve it. The room was setup exactly as we had discussed, well in advance of the guest arriving. Everyone loved the food and raved about the wine. There were a few unexpected but welcomed guests and the Winery team moved into action, quickly assessed what adjustments needed to be made and handled it seamlessly. Thanks for helping me create a night to remember for my guy and our guests. ADG read more

What a fun place! Fantastic wine! I was born and raised in southern CA right outside Temecula and Napa valley (wine country ) which has the best wine..however...Boston Winery tops them all. The wine was amazing and they took the time to explain each wine. Very knowledgeable and fun! read more

I wasn't expecting to find a decent winery in Boston. But I did. And even more shocking....I liked it. It's small and family-run. And, being from the South I get to say this, they put Southern hospitality to shame. Vito and Ralphie were excellent hosts. If you're in Boston and have the time, you won't regret going by. read more

This family owned, small business is a hidden gem. Our tour was informative and the delicious wine tasting met and exceeded all our expectations. Both Ralph and Vito were generous and knowledgable with their insight and experience. We had an enjoyable experience while learning about wine, wine making, and created a fun memory. As a bonus their wine is so good and so exceptional that we decided to join their wine club. This small winery creates the best tasting wine I've tasted in this region. read more

Who knew Boston had a winery! What a great little spot to check out with some amazing locally made wines! The Syrah was to die for! Small family run business, so clean. Fun to do with groups. Super cute and quaint on the inside. Highly recommended. read more

Boston Winery produces the following wine varietals: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Meritage, Merlot, Muscat, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah/Shiraz, Viognier and Zinfandel. The price of wine tasting is a small fee. The owners say "The Boston Winery was created with one thing in mind: To offer people the unique opportunity to enjoy making their own wine with family and friends," and I am inclined to agree. I went there with the intention of tasting their historic Merlot but ended up walking away with cases of their Shiraz, Pinot, and Zinfandel. Usually I am not a fan of Zinfandel, but if you haven't tasted theirs, you haven't tasted a true Zin. I highly recommend this place for anyone in the Boston area. read more

Will be back! Such a fun experience and super affordable and right in Boston! Came here with two friends and it was such a cute fall thing to do. The staff was super nice. The tour was enjoyable because it was funny and informative! The WINE was delicious. We ended up buying a bottle of the sparkling wine. We then went to the restaurant next door and it was delicious! read more

Hands Down the best place in the city. I go every year to celebrate my birthday and have the best time ever!! The entire staff is super cool and helpful. they go all out to make your time memorable and exciting; oh,and the wine is the bomb too. They close at 6pm, I had 8 in my group and no one wanted to go home so we went to the Distillery next door which was just as fun - slept all day Sunday LOL Hi Fi to all of them. read more

Went here on a Saturday recently for a tour and wine tasting and had a great time. The wines were delicious, and the tour guide was super informative. It's $10 for the tour/tasting, but if you buy a bottle the fee is waived. This place is a total hidden gem, and I definitely will be back! read more

We had the absolute best time at Boston Winery! It was our first stop after driving in from New York, and they were absolutely amazing! Ralphie was a great host - very personable and friendly! You can see the passion he has for wine making and wine itself, and it makes the entire experience that much better. The events coordinator was also extremely sweet and helpful. We brought our small dog and they were accommodating and welcoming. Not to mention the WINE itself- DELISH. We bought 2 bottles! Do not hesitate to come here even if you're driving in from out of state- it was the highlight of our trip! Thank you Boston Winery! We will surely be back read more

My daughter just had a bachelorette party at the Boston Winery. My wife and daughter raced over the service , the wine and the atmosphere Brendan and his team did a great job. They were very attentive kept the glasses full and insured everyone had a great time There were 14 people and the size of the group lended it to be able to mix with friends , tour the facility and shop I heard great reviews of the Reds whites and blends I highly recommend you looking at this for a tour for two or 22 !! read more

Such a shame. The wine was wonderful and pricey but the bartender was eating her dinner on the sly during our whole experience. The second bartender was unhappy so it wasn't a pleasant experience for us. Beautiful place but needs management overseeing the customer experience. Disappointed. read more

My girlfriend found this online and we stopped in on a saturday afternoon. What am amazing little place. They obviously care very much about what they do and that makes it all the more fun! We took a tasting, a tour, and enjoyed speaking with the bartender who gave us a great discussion about the wine and the history of the building and winery. As we sipped, people would come in, also having found out about this place and wondering what they might find. We found a great wine that we both loved and bought some. Didn't make it to the restaurant across the parking lot, but maybe next time when we visit with guests. Certainly not to be missed. Don't let the location fool you, it is there and its way fun. read more

Everyone was nice and helpful. We met the owner and got a personal tour by him! He was so sweet. We even got a little extra taste of wine. There was also pizza which was yummy! Highly recommended. Wine was delicious. I ended up leaving with 6 bottles. read more

This place is great! My boyfriend and I went for a wine tour and had a blast. We got 5 drink tokens and were able to drink them on the outdoor patio with a beautiful view of the water. The tour was about 20 min and Ralphie was awesome. Definitely a hidden gem, and will definitely be back. read more

The wine here is phenomenal. It is honestly a great place to go and hang out grab some wine. To the people who say the bartender was eating on the "sly"...bartenders eat too. From my experience the staff as a whole are all very knowledgeable and helpful. The Pinot noir here is hands down one of the best around. Thanks for a great time and great wine! read more

Awesome Tour! Great wine! Very informative! Can't thank Ralph and Vito enough! Definitely recommend!

This place is great. The staff and owners are fantastic. I put together a surprise party a few months back. We had about 80 people. It was a very simple process from start to finish. The coordinator helped me choose the amount of food and was very impressed the quality. They use Venezia's and a in house pizza oven for some food on the fly. I received tons of compliments of my choice of venue and I can't wait for the next excuse to throw a party here. read more

Went for a graduation party and the wine was perfect and the pizza was ridiculous. Apparently the own taught the guy who started Berrtucci's how to make pizza. read more

Went there today for my niece's 30th Birthday. A fun and funky little spot. Don't be turned off that the wine is made in Boston. The owners are a father-son team with a great back story, and an obvious passion for wine. Definitely worth a trip there. read more
