Impressive store for a small town. It features an eclectic array of potent potables and some hard-to-find wines and beer. I went in for 1 thing and came home with 8 items. The surprises in wine: a demi-boutielle of Paul Clouet Champagne (France); a demi-boutielle of Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand); and a standard bottle of Jeff Runquist Petit Verdot (California). For beer: Jackie O's Dark Apparition, an Imperial Stout, from Athens, Ohio. The vibe inside is laid back and yet cosmopolitan. The staff is savvy about wine and beer--not just ringing up a sale. There's a space dedicated for wine and another for beer. The establishment's name is highly appropriate. When I'm in the area, will definitely stop in to see what's on the shelves. read more

They have a nice variety of wines. There was a free wine tasting as well, which was generous of them. The lady who was serving the wines was friendly and knowledgeable. Employees are kind and helpful. They have a restroom in the back. I like the laid back vibe of this place. They also sell candles towards the front of the restaurant. There are different chocolates and snacks being sold towards the back of the store. This is a great place to find gifts for loved ones. read more

Shop is still doing well with lots of wine from all over the world and great taste in general. The beer selection seems to have grown in the last few years: we found sours, german beers, and a ton of east coast craft beers that are impossible to find in California. I still stop by almost every time I'm back on the east coast to fuel wine gifts and dinners with friends and family. read more

Wonderful selection of wines from all over the world. The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines that they carry and can make great suggestions on new wines to try. The prices are reasonable. We bought a nice wine from Greece and one from South Africa. The Greek wine was wonderful. I'm saving the South Africa wine for now. read more

I recently moved to Shepherdstown and met the owner at my new hair salon. Since then, I enjoy going into her friendly wine shop and talking with her and the other employees. They have wine tastings every weekend. We are very impressed with the wine selection and enjoy stopping by every weekend we can to purchase wine and participate in the tastings. read more

The best wine shop in the area. Best Selection...The Staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Personal favorites ...Predator Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon...and the Sonoma Ciders (Pear, Bourbon and Apple) Try them. You wont regret it. If you need any more help with recommendations ask the staff....especially Damen and Jeremy. read more

Cute shop and friendly staff. Great selection of international wines. Glad we stopped by! Would love to go back.

Extremely friendly service, though not everybody is knowledgeable about the products they sell. The guys here seem to share their honest opinion about beers, good or bad. On one occasion, a clerk opened a bottle for me to sample. That made me a fan! However, on another occasion, a different person didn't know anything about the wines she was serving at a tasting. read more

Great little wine shop with knowledgable staff, free wine tastings and great cheese pairings!

I used to go there for their tastings, which was a thimble full. Quit going after all the artsy photos in the windows and inside of the store of the boys that works there. One of the photos in the window 6-2-14 is of an employee who looked passed out with lots of tattoos and a beer can laying on him and his hand laying on his crotch. I kid you not! What kind of message is this trying to send? I won't go there even if I have to pay twice the price for the wine elsewhere. To the owner, please wake up! read more

Snotty douchebag with an attitude behind the counter. This isn't the first time. It's just the first time I've been pissed off enough to post about it. Prices are outrageous, too. There's plenty of other places to buy wine. Go there. read more

Grapes & Grains is wonderful!!! I love it there. Delicious tastings of wine and cheese each Saturday, a wonderful selection of chocolates, cheeses and candles and a huge, huge, huge variety of beer (new all the time and old favorites stay) sold in mixed or pre-set six packs or singles, wonderful wines. The owner seems to know everything about each product you ask about. Good staff. read more

I called Grapes & Grains Gourmet yesterday, looking for a nice wine to have delivered to my sister-in-law who was struggling with some terrible news. The woman with whom I spoke not only made knowledgeable and helpful suggestions about the wine I might choose, based on preferences that I gave her; but, went above and beyond to help me put together a lovely basket, containing lots of wonderful things. I couldn't be there to pick things out and she did an outstanding job, describing what was available, making suggestions and ended up creating a basket that was truly beyond what I could have every asked for or imagined. Genuinely tremendous customer service at a time when that is so rare. I have not had the pleasure of visiting the store itself; but, based on their professionalism, attention to detail and kindness alone, I will definitely use them again in the future and look forward to making the hour and a half drive in the near future, as I can only imagine how awesome they are in person. Truly exceptional! read more

Great place to stop in while visiting Shepherdstown! Excellent wine selection and the staff are at once helpful, hilarious, and super fun. You will be glad you stopped in - my friend and I will certainly be back. read more

Excellent selection. We have made several trips to Shepardstown specifically to shop here for local wines to serve at weddings, parties, and to give as gifts. Wonderful service from a friendly and knowledgeable staff. read more

We stopped by after a day at Harper's Ferry to pick up a dinner picnic for our hotel room. The team here is dedicated to finding great wines and bringing them to you. They're passionate, knowledgeable and down to earth. We wish we could go back all the time. read more
