Stopped by Total Wine & More and had a pretty good experience overall. The staff was welcoming, and the store was clean, organized, and easy to navigate. They have a great variety, so it's pretty easy to find what you're looking for without wandering around forever. I will say, the prices are definitely a little on the higher side, but the convenience and selection make it worth a return visit. Parking was easy, and the hours are convenient as well. Overall, a solid option when you need to grab something quickly and get in and out without the hassle. I'd definitely come back. read more

Total Wine is my adult playground! As a mixologist, this is my absolute happy place! Today, I was in a bit of a rush, so I went online to purchase a few cases of my new favs (The Finnish Long Drink & ACE Guava Cider). What I love most about this place is the online shopping. It's shopping made easy! You can shop online for delivery, pull-up to the parking lot for curbside delivery or pick up in-store. With over 8000 wines, 3000 spirits & 2500 beers with the best prices, selection and service, why would you ever want to shop anywhere else?! And the staff here are super friendly and very knowledgeable. They even offer wine classes (if you're into that kind of stuff). I can spend hours here looking at all the great selections they have on alcohol, mixers, garnishes etc. Definitely worth a visit, you won't be disappointed! read more

Huge selection, solid prices, and staff that actually knows wine and spirits. You can find everything from cheap weeknight bottles to bottles you have to ask to see. Tastings and events are a bonus -- ran into William H. Macy here doing a Woody Creek promo and it was awesome. Aisles are clean, checkout's quick, and they price-match. Can't ask for more from a liquor store. read more

Never disappointed in a TW visit! I've come here many times but this time I participated in the complimentary tasting. It was fun! I only took maybe 10 minutes but I enjoyed the addition to my shopping trip. I usually get a peach bellini from a Temecula winery but I was easily convinced to buy a peach liquor and champagne to make my own. He also had mango to taste as well. I learned about new wines, tried a true orange wine and met some cool people. TW cards anyone that looks younger than 30. I was carded! Cheers to young face lol. Anyways have your id because they will card any adult with you regardless of who is purchasing. At least that's what happened with me. They offer actual wine classes for a fee so I look forward to checking that out soon. read more

Had the best experience last weekend. Taylor, the wine expert took us traveling through France for red and white wines for the perfect date night wine and sip with my hubby. I had no clue but you can take classes at Total Wine for wine connoisseurs which I'm honestly here for!! Specials everywhere! We got the following wines: Château de Nages Héritage 2022 (Red wine from Costières-de-Nîmes, France) and Alguna Vez Albariño (White wine from Rías Baixas, Spain). We paired these wines with cheese and meats. What a lovely evening. Enjoy! Thank ya! read more

I've been to this location a handful of times, mostly for the wine classes, which I didn't even know were a thing, but know that I do, they are always a hit. The one instructor who repeatedly teaches (name unknown) is quite passionate and enthusiastic. He also knows his stuff. Really, ask him anything. The store layout makes it easy to find what you're looking for and if you can't, the staff is always helpful. read more

If we're in the area, it's a convenient stop if someone in our group wants to grab a bottle of wine.

Total Wine and More has a great selection of different wines, spirits, mixers and anything else you might need to make or recreate a cocktail. I love how they even have some of the harder to find stuff so easily accessible and at a reasonable price point. Their employees are always so friendly and knowledgeable about everything and are always so great with suggestions on what to get. They also have tastings and classes that you can sign up for which is really nice to have. Plenty of parking outside as well. read more

Great meet & greet & tasting of Losophē margarita smooth no mix required. Already premixed & there's no bite or super sweet sugar taste as with some margarita premixed drinks. You can either have it on the rocks or just chill it & pour it. Very good Price a bit more than others $41.99 for 750ml bottle. But worth it. This San Diego location is my favorite always ample parking & the staff is always kind & greet you with smiles. Now if TWM would get in stock Sluricane by E40, his tequila & cognac. They have the Earl Stevens wine already they just need to add the more . read more

This place is great. Pricing is good and staff is amazing! Everything I have gone in for, they have had the product I was looking for. Staff is great at assisting you in finding what you want and offer great recommendation. read more

Even though this location is in mission valley they have a ton of parking and it's a really open space. Every time I've been here there's always associates walking around and checking in on you which is super appreciated. Their variety of wine is also very impressive. I was able to find a Malbec from France when many other stores only carry ones from Argentina. read more

Total Wine is like an adult playground if you enjoy wine and/or spirits. Never ending rows of options with friendly staff to give recommendations or point you in the right direction. Also the pricing is incredibly competitive if you are willing to buy 6 bottles at a time. If you are looking for something other than another California red blend or cabernet sauvignon you should really consider checking out Total Wine. read more

I was tasked to buy mini bottles for a birthday piñata this weekend. Being a non-drinker I didn't know what to get. Ismael was building a display near by and helped me pick out a party pack. Ryan checked me out. We had a little problem with the receipt not wanting to print. Ismael to the rescue again. I left with the 99 Party Bucket and 10-pack of Jack Daniel's. I sent a photo and she said the party bucket was no bueno. No one would drink it. I returned at the end of the evening to exchange the bucket for 6-pack Fireballs, 10- Locals Vodkas, 10-Los Cabo's Tequilas. I was limited to only plastic bottles because they we going into a piñata. I didn't get to explore the store but will next visit. Loved that they are dog friendly too! read more

Came here with my girlfriend and decided to buy a 6 pack of beer. Got to the register and when the cashier rung up our total which was $10.01, so we gave him a $10 bill and a penny. He saw the penny and said "sorry I can't take this. They stopped letting us take pennies." Um, what? Okay no big deal, he'll probably just let it slide cause it's only ONE cent. No. He stood there waiting for us to give him more money like we didn't just give him the total rung up. He said "I can take a nickel if you have that." Why, so you can charge us more than the actual price? Just for reference, no, we didn't have a nickel and we're not taking a bunch of coins, hence the exact change. I worked retail when they discontinued making pennies so in this case, I just let it go cause it's pocket lint at this point. He went as far as to call the manager (with an annoyed look on his face like we're the problem). We decided not to buy it because we're not waiting around for a manager to discuss something as small as a penny. What an absolutely ridiculous policy, do better. Mind you, they could just charge it so it comes out to $10 even but it makes me feel like they add the penny so you have to pay more. read more

I can't believe I have overlooked reviewing this place. I don't know how I could give less than 5 stars here! The prices are the best- it seems for everything across the board. And the ordering through the app is simple and quick. Curbside pickup, out in less than 5 minutes always. Sometimes I prefer this in a way, so I do not have the temptation to buy more in the store.. I can always think of or see something I want. I am a beer guy first with spirits close behind as well as some great wines occasionally. I love the fact that they offer wine and champagne classes with a charcuterie board for all to share in the back of the room. I totally recommend these classes to anyone, if at all interested. A varied selection of courses to select from on website or app. Once, the lady and I went to a chocolate and wine pairing class that was fantastic. You will learn more than you think, as the sommeliers and instructors are very well informed. Flavor profiles to know what you are really seeking. A raise of hands after each taste to see what each person prefers. They will even mention what can mix or clash besides the samples given. Telling us all also what some of their preferences are and certain excellent values for your money. Certain nights they have a 2-3 hour window of beer, seltzer or wine tasting. Even some seasonal choices emerge, which you have to just drop a coin I believe, but I drop a dollar. I come for the somewhat harder to find beers here and whiskeys too. I have bought plenty from here and other locations due to stock shortages. All reasonable, competitive prices that are usually the lowest without even being on sale, in comparison to other stores offering the same. They definitely have been checking all the boxes for me. read more

The people here need serious help and work. Worst customer service I have EVER experienced I would rather drive to the local liquor store and be ripped off than go back here again. Next time don't try to throw my wife & I out over an alcohol signing with no reasoning you all need serious help. read more

Me and my siblings me and my siblings went into the total wine and more and they were being very discriminatory towards us. Black people. I feel very, very upset and I feel very uncomfortable because they asked my older brother for his ID. He's my older brother they asked him for his ID and he didn't have it physically the lady first and said oh well you can still check out if I just know his birthday but at the end of the day they came back and they said no you can't do that because he doesn't have his ID you have to be 21 and older mind you he walked into the store without his ID. I feel very discriminated against I really really feel very discriminated against do not come to this total wine and more they are white and racist. They do not like serving Black people because every other white person before us didn't have IDs but the other people and she did not ask she asked us because we were the only four Black people in the store when we arrived. There was a worker sitting there talking her ear off when we were just trying to buy alcohol. We all are 21 and up. We all have money so I don't understand the difference anyways don't go here they suck they're racist if you're black go somewhere that exception. read more

Updated tasting hours: Thursday, 2 to 6 Friday, 3 to 7 Saturday, noon to 6 Beware of cashiers' suggestions. They try to steer you toward their house brands, aka "Spirits Direct". Not that they are all bad, but just keep in mind their ulterior motive. Caveat Emptor. I prefer more unbiased sources like https://www.tastings.com/ read more

They have a wide variety of wines and liquors here and the prices are pretty good. I was extremely impressed with the interaction I had with Dore recently. He was kind, knowledgeable and spent @ 10 minutes explaining grapes, regions and more. I learned a lot in a short amount of time so if you're looking for some guidance while browsing, he's your guy! read more

We did the $20 wine class which was really fun. The class is an hour and a half and we got to taste 8 wines (this was the California Uncorked class) and got a small plate of snacks to pair with the wines. We learned about the different wine regions of California and a little about the history. It was very informative. I recommend checking out the classes offered on their website. read more

If you're looking for alcohol for a big event or just to have at home this is the spot for you. Coming here before Thanksgiving was definitely a challenge because it was busy but they had so many people ready and able to help you with whatever you needed to find. You can always ask an associate if you are looking for something specific and they can look it up before you start to search the large store! Such a great store and honestly a great deal for what you are getting! read more

Love Total Wine, it's your 1-stop shop for all your alcohol and spirits. This place has such a massive selection of drinks and also has all the mixers and snacks you'll need to go with them! The staff are wonderful, very friendly and knowledgeable; don't be shy to ask them for a recommendation or assistance! All of the refrigerated and chilled drinks are towards the back of the store and there's even a cigar section. Checkout isn't too bad and they even have a membership that can help you save a little bit. I don't come here often, but whenever I need to grab something quick for a party or a celebration, I never leave empty handed! read more

The "more" part of total wine and more makes it such a good place. Pretty much there is always something in your price range. I can easily spend a hour in here which I can assure you is more because of the awesome selections and not a cry for help lol. They have the wines front and centered as well as champagnes and other bubbles. To get to the liquor you need to head to the back of the place. And there's an aisle dedicated to beer towards the other side of the store. They also have cigars which I didn't know before. Other total wines have the option to do a mix and match beer deal but this one doesn't have it. The manager said it was because of the liquor licenses they bought. I find the staff to either be too eager to help or avoid eye contact at all costs. Which I don't mind as much. Because I know what I like and going for and so I like to be left alone. But on the days that I want to broaden my palette, they are easy to find. Stopped in there a few times during Kwanzaa because I kept forgetting things and it was packed but they kept the lines moving fairly quickly. Four stars because of the selection and range of prices are generally competitive. I do like and prefer local liquor stores but sometimes it's more economical to get it from here and save a few pennies. read more

Ridiculous establishment I was in a group of 3 My friend had a drive up order, and was waiting in the car ( in the back ), while me and the other person entered the store to use the restroom and we wanted to buy a 4 pack of alcohol drinks and ice bag , at the checkout out they asked for ID's, the other person had theirs and I didn't because I had left it at home since I was just along for the ride We told the very unprofessional lady " okay we don't want the alcohol drinks " can we just get the ice bag She insisted we BOTH needed to present and ID for ICE ?!? we left feeling confused and disappointed This is your policy : " Total Wine enforces a "group ID policy". If you are shopping with someone else and they appear to be under 30, the store may require everyone in the group to show ID to prevent "shoulder tapping" (where of-age individuals buy alcohol for underage friends)" Yet you already gave my friend her drive up order WHILE she was in our car IN THE BACK SEAT LOL Make it make sense total wine very unpleasant first experience. A joke To respond on total wines answer : uhm you copy and paste much ? you didn't check my ID when entering, so as I said A JOKE ! read more

Joseph the cashier was hostile and unprofessional maybe train your employees better with simple customer service didnt even say hi just requested ID then called a manager over after I handed my ID I asked for a bag and he sat there arguing with me still over my id unreal experience never going back why drive all the way here to get treated like that read more

Total Wine & More is a very stocked, very organized beverage outlet. If you're looking it for something unique, no doubt, Total Wine carries it. Taylor is very knowledgeable in the tequila, whisky, and for that matter he's good with the wine and champagnes as well. Speaking of champagne, this is a special shout - out to the front manager, Natasha. I called in needing a recommendation and she went out of her way to describe one of her favorites and explained the contrasting characteristics of the wine. She said, "no problem, what time are you arriving?....I'll just put it in the chiller". Awesome. Chiller? Every time I shop here I discover something new. They have this cool, and it is cold, chiller! What? Yes! Over by the tasting table there is a chilling tub where you can put a bottle in and leave with it cold. So whether you are in need of a chilled bottle of champagne or want to bring your wine to temp., they offer this, free to use and it works perfectly. Total Wine also carries my favorite Pellegrino water. The one suggestion I would have is I wish they had freshly squeezed, high quality juices. They only offer 'Langers' and other brands that can sit on a shelf until eternity. Think of all the top-end liquor offered here; if you spend that kind of money and want to make a more 'artisan' cocktail, you want fresh fruit. But, understandably, this store is stocked to the crow-stepped gable in everything else under the sun, so a big 5 stars!!! Oh wait, I cannot be remiss without a shout-out to the young sommelier. Darn, forgot his name. He's always nice to talk to and offers solid advice on the most random of questions. Cheers!! read more

Absolutely love this store. It's like the costco of liquor. I don't drink much wine but the liquor and beer selection is unparalleled in San Diego. Prices are usually lowest around and they have a rewards program. Can't wait to go back! read more

Review for Total Wine - Mission Valley I had a very upsetting experience at this location. The manager, Zana, was extremely unprofessional and made me feel racially profiled and unwelcome. Her behavior and tone were rude, dismissive, and completely inappropriate. Throughout my visit, she made undermining and unnecessary comments that made me feel discouraged and out of place, as if I didn't belong there or didn't deserve to make a purchase because of my skin color. No customer should ever be made to feel that way--especially when they are giving their business in good faith. What happened was wrong and unacceptable, and I intend to take this matter further. Discrimination of any kind has no place in today's society, and I truly hope Total Wine takes this seriously and holds their staff accountable. read more

THANK YOU FOR BEING OF EXISTENCE (5 stars) Not a drinker (anymore) but occasionally will have a sippy when out dining or at a party/gathering celebrating something. This store I feel is for the grown and mature adults. For those who enjoy drinking your gut out you may need to drive down a few blocks to BevMo. This store has a bit more class with the huge variety of wines and stuff! Came looking for items for Holiday enjoyments. Browsed their White wines section from France! I absolutely love French White wines, something about the soil, and harvest of the grapes are something special there. You cannot find Pinot Blanc in many stores but you definitely can find a Pinot Blanc here. If you haven't had a Pinot Blanc, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Also, came here looking for stuff for my Kir Royale! Have not been able to find or order a proper Kir Royale here in San Diego and the knockoff of using chamboard does not do it any justice (yucks, don't do it). I've located "Crème de Cassis de Dijon" here!!! And paired that with the Saint-Reine champagne from France also able to purchase here. Fresh raspberries, not here! Ha! Also-also here for some good stuff for Sangria making. They DO carry Apricot Brandy, do not mistake this with Apricot Liquor; there is a huge difference. They only carry one kind of Apricot Brandy (in the Brandy section)... pricy though ~$30 a bottle. It's been nice to lower my pain medication doses and be able to "indulge" here and there before feeling "on a good one". CHEERS-IES!!!! read more

I've been a long time customer here as I love the product and pricing is competitive, but customer service has really taken a significant downturn lately. Today, I had made an online order and came to pick up early in store hours so there were hardly any customers there yet. I had no fewer than 3 employees basically look right at me as I stood at the pickup desk for well over 5 minutes. Once I got the attention of the manager on duty, he looked very annoyed and came over to help me eventually although his attitude indicated he wasn't pleased. Do better, Total Wine read more

We needed to pick up a gift for a friend's birthday. We were in the neighborhood so we decided to come in and check it out. Total Wine & More is a very large liquor store. They are one of the many shops in the shopping center. With that being said, it's a shared parking lot. They have large varieties of wines, beers, and hard alcohols. If you're looking for something unique, this is probably a good choice. We came in for Bombay Sapphire East Gin. Our friend enjoys this particular one for its unique fusion. It's the Bombay Sapphire Gin with the addition of four more botanicals. ( Grains of Paradise, cubeb berries, Thai lemongrass, and Vietnamese black pepper ) Overall, a nice variety shop to ensure you will find something for everyone. They even have the loyalty program to earn points towards discounts. read more

Total Wine is like BevMo on steroids!  Located on Rio San Diego Drive in the Rio Vista Shopping Center in Mission Valley next door to Living Spaces.  Becky stopped by once on her way home from work to grab some White Claws, which were $4 per 12 pack cheaper than even Food 4 Less. When she arrived home and told me about it I just knew that I had to visit this magical place called Total Wine. On weekends I like to kick it old-school and sit in the backyard and read the newspaper.  An actual paper newspaper.  In Sunday's paper was an advertisement for Total Wine that included a $25 coupon off of $75 or more purchase.  It was fate.  We had to go.   I walked in and it was nirvana.  The store is huge.  The selection of wines, booze and beer are seemingly endless.  They also have mixers, bar accessories, and snacks.  Lots of snacks!  Including Boar's Head cheeses and cured meats.  They didn't on Sunday, but they do have in-store wine and beer tasting too. The layout, organization and displays are all top-notch.  The store was spotlessly clean and the staff super friendly and helpful. We filled our cart with White Claw, AleSmith San Diego State Ale, Stone Buenaveza, Cutwater Bloody Mary Mix, and a bottle of Demitri's Bloody Mary seasoning.  At checkout we were invited to join their rewards club, which we did and when we got home, I downloaded the app.  All coupons and specials are on the app so no need to cut out hard copies anymore. Total Wine is totally cool.  Move over BevMo, there's a new sheriff in town read more

Total Wine & More - Mmmm...beer. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Diego, California

Well alrighty then....Step aside BevNo, there's a new top dog in town. Some things are even cheaper than Costco! Deals and steals and free liquor for reals! Located next to Living Spaces. Popped in for the first time to snatch up some flavored Tennessee Whiskeys...Ole Smoky Tennessee Salty Caramel and Mango Habanero. The Mango Habanero is a hit and Total Wine carries it for the cheap. Total wine is a large and beautiful space. I felt a bit overwhelmed when first walking in, however I was quickly able to acclimate myself. Seeing as they have so many options, it might take you a minute to find what you're looking for. Luckily I found Steve, who provided some excellent customer service and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Steve's customer was definitely 5 star. Thanks Steve. I not only found what I came for, but I was also able to snag some hard to find Puerto Rican Rum, "Don Q Grab Añejo I see YOU!" The store has wine tasting and beer tasting so check-in to see when you can get your free LIQS, YA HEARD! I gotta say, today was a good day. read more

The cashiers here show little to no customer service skills. I first asked one of them for a box to hold wine bottles, and he insisted on giving me a beer case, claiming the bottles would fit. When I showed him they wouldn't, he huffed and reluctantly got a larger box. I was also trying to purchase a bottle of wine that had an "ask a sales rep" slip on the shelf. A floor associate went to check on it and came back to say someone would need to retrieve it from the back since it was out of stock on the shelf, but that six were available. At checkout, I told the cashier about it, and she said she'd start ringing me up since it shouldn't take long. After about 15 minutes--and with a line starting to form--she asked me to step aside so she could help other customers until the bottle arrived. When she was done and after another wait, I asked if anyone was actually looking for it. She checked with the order desk, where the employees looked completely lost, then came back to say they couldn't find it. It would've been nice if someone had communicated that earlier. I suspect no one actually looked very hard. Everyone behind the registers seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else. I considered tracking down the one floor associate who actually seemed engaged, but at that point, I just wanted to leave. This place may have a larger selection than Bevmo, but at least the people who work there don't look like they are in hell, and they actually try to help. read more
