Off-and-on-rainy Saturday afternoon, walk on the beach, gulls wheeling over the beach, floating in the air, silhouetted against Ecola evergreens, cloudy, sleepy dog....And instead of resting in the room, looking out at the moving tide, wine summoned. As it always does. Dean and Gary were wonderful hosts, Gary pouring taste upstairs (ranging from $1.50 to $2.25 per glass), Dean offering swift expert advice downstairs. Saturdays, wine-tastings from 1-5, ranging from off-dry Rieslings to Pinot Blancs to Malbecs to an interesting local Tempranillo/Syrah blend. The day I went in, anyway....After wine and conversation in the loft, I wandered down the steps and gave Dean minimal directions. "Bottles under $25 that I must try from Oregon or Washington. Red. But the odd good white too...." I walked the half-mile back to the hotel light at heart, weighted to earth by the six-bottle carrying case nestled in my arms. Pinot Noirs, Syrah, Pinot Gris. The joyful future lightness of empty bottles of wine, the lovely gray clouds intensifying the sunlight from gold to silver. The little glass of Cali next to my laptop as I write.... read more

Good selection for a small wine shop--in addition to the Oregon stuff you'd expect a few old world and new world (NZ, Aussie) selections that you might not have expected. The owner is friendly and happy to show you things you might not have known much about and his suggestions worked for me. read more

A chic store that has a little bit of everything for everyone. All price ranges but mostly affordable and local.

Genuine folks with a local vibe and conversation throughout the room about wine, dogs, life... GREAT experience. Two of us split the wine flight, plus another glass and bought three bottles. I wish I would have gotten more as I sip the last of the Puffin... live and learn. An extra added bonus was the welcoming of our small, very well behaved, angelic dog. Although not advertised as dog friendly, we were all grateful to not be sitting outside in the rain as we sipped. We'll be back this summer. And then again next winter... read more

My wife and I stopped in here while at the beach and had a very pleasant conversation with a staff member and the owner. Fair prices, great ambiance and convenient location. We will definitely be back for a tasting, thanks Steve! read more

It was our wedding anniversary, and like so many things in today's life, all our plans were canceled. Feeling a bit defeated and sad my husband told me we should drive to The Wine Shack, which is 3.5 hour drive one way, to get my favorite wine. We called and pre-ordered 9 bottles of wine for curb side pick up, since you cannot go in due to the "stay at home" order. Once we got there we called due to getting there about an hour early. Steve came within 5 min with our wine ready to go. Once he learned it was our anniversary and we had drove simply to get the wine and couldn't stay due to hotels being closed he gave us a complimentary bottle of delicious champagne and 2 wine glasses!! Such a thoughtful and kind gesture! This, and so many other reasons, is why we will continuing driving 8 hours round trip to come here! Oh, I feel it goes without saying but the Puffin wine is the BEST! Thank you Steve for your thoughtfulness! We will be back soon!, read more

Love going here but space is limited due to social distancing. Great deals on wine that we can't purchase elsewhere.

Having a great time wine tasting. The guy here is hilarious and entertaining all while teaching us about the wine. Will come back again! read more

The Wine Shack - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Cannon Beach, Oregon

I had such a delightful experience when I stopped in mid-week in the middle of November. The owner educated me on wines and showed me how to use the corkscrew I bought- the kind I've always found difficult to use (evidenced by breaking corks). He even had me practice how to use it! The shop is classy and comfortable, with a nice spot up top for tastings and even larger groups, like office teams, he said. There are also high quality snacks for sale and some lovely tables by the windows where you could sit with a bottle of wine. I appreciated the time he took with me explaining Oregon's Pinot Noir start in the 70's, among other things. My experience was the essence of small business which I appreciated so much. I chose the Abeja 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington state. Bottles can be hard to get and find, so it was exciting to get one. Stop into this quaint shop run by a guy who knows his stuff, and is willing to serve. And cheers! read more

The Wine Shack - Washington state's Abjeja 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon with Haystack Rock sunset through the bottle. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Cannon Beach, Oregon

The wine and the service were very good but they charged for the tasting fee even though I bought two bottles of wine. VERY UNCOOL.

Great customer service and great wine! They helped me pick out a bottle for my mom for Christmas!

They have a ton of wine for sale, and a cheese cooler. There's some fun little accessories in the place also. The gentleman that was there was very knowledgeable about wine and was comical to talk to. On top of knowing about all the different wines, we asked about local places to eat and he recommended a couple places. He was right!! I recommend this place!! Great wine tasting, great atmosphere, great hostess!!!! read more

So maybe I didn't meet the owner. I certainly hope not. The man working downstairs was so rude to me and my father that we actually left. This younger man put up his finger at me and said "Can't you see I am on the Phone" when I tried to make a purchase. So we waited for a few more minutes and nothing. Maybe it is entirely different upstairs. However, I was very unimpressed and so was my father. We won't be returning here. read more

Seems to have a great selection and friendly staff. I have stopped both days to do tastings and was quite pleased.

I had the privilege of visiting The Wine Shack early this summer and it was a delightful experience. I learned a ton about wine because it was so easily accessible and the people were so open to my questions. The tasting room upstairs was comfortable and the tastings were not only generous but also well presented and explained. Above all, what I enjoyed the most was the kindness and passion around wine that Steve (the owner) showed. That is one guy that truly loves his job and it's a delight to be around. Thanks for a great experience! read more

With helpful staff and weekend wine tastings from some of the region's best wineries this is a great place to grab a bottle of wine for your dinner on the coast, try their private label wines, and relax with the friendly staff, other wine enthusiasts, and chat with winery representatives on the patio. One of my favorite places to visit in Manzanita. read more

The staff here are really nice. Steve who owns Puffin wines was very helpful and provided great wine recommendations. They are also dog friendly which is a huge plus. Would definitely come back here. read more

I walked in and stood there about 10 minutes before i left!! The guy didnt even say hi or welcome to my store!! Very not customer friendly!!! They were so caught up in making a sale i just left! I would not come back read more

I stopped in to The Wine Shack earlier this month with my parents while on vacation. I LOVED it! Very cute place w. lots of things going on! Such as local musicians coming in and playing and Wine vendors coming for tasting. A great way to relax and have an easy evening is going and listening to the local musicians while sipping on your favorite glass of wine. The Wine Shack is in a great location and easy find. They have a variety of different wines and nicely organized. The staff was very friendly and Steve (the owner) knew alot about the wines, he has a great passion for it and very dedicated! I was able to do a wine tasting upstairs in their loft, Steve explained about the different wines which was great since I dont know alot about wine. :) Overall I think its a great place to stop in to Taste, Buy, Have some wine, listen to music and have a fun time learning or hanging out with your significant other. read more

Steve was great! I really appreciated how he acknowledged us at the bar but still was aware of all the new customers!! We bought 2 great bottles of wine..and a few glasses of wine and some cheese.... BUT next time he spills some wine and it stains my husbands pants .... He's going to comp our wine !! There will most defiantly be a " next time".... This is a great place and we really enjoyed ourselves today!! A " must go to" place in Cannon Beach!! read more

A fabulous wine shop with extremely knowledgeable staff and a great wine selection. Their house Puffin rose is utterly fabulous. Where else can you find fabulous Oregon wines, some only available in restaurants, and top high end wines like Opus One and Darioush along the coast of Oregon? The Wine Shack is a MUST stop for any wine lover going through or staying in Cannon Beach. read more

Tasting upstairs. Good wine tastes, a nice social atmosphere, we will be back. Recommend for sure!!

A ride racist host works here. My husband and I left the host had a no welcoming voice. Not dropping a dollar st this place. Left Right away. read more

The Wine Shack is a cool little shop! Being a little younger (and a little less knowledgeable about wine), I appreciate the signs, organization and friendly staff that keep the large selection from being too overwhelming. I was surprised at how affordable some of their bottles are - even a broke graduate student like myself can enjoy something from the Ten Buck Bin! Now, I may be a little biased (the owners ARE my parents :) but I will continue to send all my friends to the shop - not out of obligation but because I know visitors are guaranteed to have a good time! The Wine Shack is the perfect spot to catch some live music and chillax with a glass of vino. Kayla PS. My favorite CB activity: grab a bottle of wine and a few of those plastic Go-Vino wine "glasses" for an awesome bonfire on the beach! read more

This place is a little small but still GREAT!! We had fun looking around and wine tasting! Wine tasting is hard to come by at the Oregon coast. Looking forward to going back again soon. read more

Popped in here the other day while walking around Cannon Beach. The owner greeted up right away and helped us pick out our wine. They offered a great selection of PNW wines! My mom said she really wanted something from the Northwest while she was in town visiting me so this place was great. The owner was informative but never condescending in explaining differences between Oregon/Washington wines versus those from our native California or France/Italy. I thought it was awesome that they put all the prices of their wines right on stickers on the bottles. Sometimes where shopping for wine it's less clear and you can get a little bit of sticker shock at the end of your shopping. They had a variety of prices for their large selection. The owner asked what kind of wines my mom loved and gave recommendations based on that. He gave explanations of the different pinot gris, and fully disclosed that one was his own brand. We ended up going with his pinot gris and it was great! Full of the light, citrus notes he promised. We will definitely be ordering more from him in the future online. Wish we had been in town on wine tasting day - I'm sure that would have been great as well! read more

Great service & very accommodating to pets on their patio. Great spot to stop and do a beer or wine tasting & bring a bottle home. Check it out! read more

Great little wine shop with a surprisingly large inventory. Really enjoyed trying a couple wines and pursuing. Will go back.

A group of girls and I spent the weekend on the coast and wanted to find a place for wine tasting. We had so much fun at the Wine Shack! Steve taught us about each wine, was hilarious and really made the afternoon special. I tend to really dislike rose, but the Puffin Oregon Rose Wine was so amazing I bought a bottle. I can't wait to turn people into Puffin wine fans. Every Puffin we sampled was worth buying (and almost every girl in the group bought a bottle or a case). I can't recommend it enough. A highlight of the trip. read more

The Wine Shack was accommodating to a group of us for a bachelorette beach weekend; the wine, the service and the snacks were wonderful! It was also a delight to meet Steve and Maryann Sinkler, the owners. They were knowledgeable, personable and lovely company to share their company. Steve even invited another vendor who happened to be guest pouring to join us briefly. I, as well as many others, purchased some of the amazing wine. I will certainly return and will be purchasing Puffin wine whenever I find it :) read more

Great spot. We stumbled on this early in our trip and were grateful we did. They were friendly and knowledgeable and everything they recommended was excellent. Bought 3 wines here and loved them all. Came back and bought more to take home. This is not a place for someone looking for cheap wine but if you want good quality stuff, particularly local, then head here. Everything they have is excellent! There is a nice provision store attached. read more

The wine shack is a great place to go all times of the week. My wife and I ended up in cannon beach after our honeymoon was cancelled due to a hurricane in Cabo. Steve knows his wines and was great to talk to. He helped me choose some wines for the length of our honeymoon based upon the dinners we were planning on having. It turned out fantastic and was one of our best stops that week. The prices are great and they have anywhere from 8 to 100 dollar bottles of wine which allows us to stop by there everytime we are in cannon and get a bottle within our budget. His stories behind the wine and knowledge he can bring to your wine makes the experience much more enjoyable. 5 stars for the wine shack! read more

$20 for two glasses of wine and when I questioned the owner about why he didn't tell us it was cheaper to do a wine tasting ($15 for two people) he said well you just never know how heavy the pourer is... Another words we were ripped off. The people doing the wine tasting were drinking by far more wine than us and paid less. read more

Low key approach to tasting & buying good wine. Joe (behind the counter) is knowledgable, funny, and willing to answer questions and make suggestions to fit your budget & taste. The selection is not as extensive as your local grocery store, but these wines have been hand selected to broaden the drinker's "data base," including locally bottled varietals. Stop in and pick up something to drink back at your hotel, or when you get back to the valley. read more

Stopped in for a tasting and snack after a hike at crescent Beach. All the white wines on the menu were very good chardoney was the best. Great atmosphere and tasty little cheese board. read more

Bought an overpriced ($24.00) bottle of the puffin brand red wine. Don't waste your money. There are so many other excellent Oregon wines to try!! Sweet, weak tasting. Love the label but..... read more

Not the friendliest place I've been to buy wine but fairly nice overall selection. Luckily not the only "game in town" so we had other options. read more

Very informative staff! I visited today with the "Flavors of Cannon Beach" tour and I highly recommend! It was adorable place and so cozy! I enjoyed the shop with all kinds of things made in Oregon! Perfect for gifts! Adorable place. read more

Worst service I experience between Cannon Beach and Seaside. Went in looking for a particular wine. The man behind the counter was leaned back in his chair carrying on a personal conversation about teaching swimming lessons on the phone. Sounding a bit aggregated he asked if we needed help. I asked about a particular wine and he proceeded to direct us to the grocery store. I would of thought a real business man would of made suggestions out of all of the wine he said he had. Wine tasting? I would of thought he would of offered that. The conversation on the phone was more important. Very disappointed. read more

The Wine Shack is the wine store you MUST visit in Cannon Beach! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgable. The selection is fantastic and the store is laid out great to make it easy to select your wine. The tasting room is very warm and welcoming. If you are visiting Cannon Beach and looking for wine or want to try the great selection of wines, especially Oregon wines, you must visit The Wine Shack! read more
