Vendome Wine & Spirits is your great neighborhood liquor store. They have a great wine and craft beer selection as well as spirits, ice, and other various items. They also have a big selection of cigars in their humidor. They are always helpful and can recommend something if you let them know what you are looking for. They can also place special orders as I will sometimes order a half case or full case of wines that I like a lot. There is usually something on sale being displayed when you walk in. They also offer a discount if you buy three or more bottles. Before Covid, I came here for many years for their weekly wine tastings. For a mere $5 to $10, they would always offer up a great selection of wines to taste. Unfortunately, they haven't had any wine tastings since Covid, but almost everything I know about wine I owe to Vendome and their many years of great tastings. I actually have a file folder that contains a two inch stack of tasting sheets that I kept which go back as far as 2010. Thanks Vikki, David (RIP), Eva, Danny, and everybody else here who is always so friendly and helpful. I always buy my lotto tickets here also. If I ever win big, we are going to have a big wine party! read more

Best comprehensive local liquor, wine, beer store in Placentia/Fullerton... meaning, not a corporate store -- Supprt Local! This store has been a staple in my life since a young age once I started to appreciate complexities and diversity of wines and beers. A wide and wonderful selection. Service is helpful and straight forward , always available. I feel so excited when I walk in, it's so elegant and a vibe! read more

This is a great place to buy wine. I love the atmosphere and selection. Service is always great too. Parking is easy and there are also great gift bags. My husband and I purchased some Italian wine and we loved it. My grandpa was happy he got to purchase some lotto scratchers. We will definitely shop here again. read more

Been going to this liquor store for years haven't been in a while stopped in for a pack of cigarettes for a friend $16.49 for a pack of cigarettes talk about a fucking rip off. I will never go there ever again. read more

Huge selection of rare, cheap, expensive, weird, cool Wines and Liquor. Lots of pictures for this place only show cigars which they have a huge selection of but their alcohol selection will hit a diverse set of needs and is much better than Bevmo, etc... Was on the hunt for a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon as a thank you gift and was blown away by the variety of wines. I found a perfect bottle that had branding that was a hilarious in-joke for the recipient and this was made possible because of the many choices. Straight from the entrance, high up in a locked plexi case, you can see expensive Japanese whiskeys all the way to $500 a bottle. Also great to see Kavalan premium batches of scotch in this case, Japanese Whiskies normally takes all the limelight and Kavalan is my hidden gem that I guess isn't so hidden anymore. Pricing is right on the bottles making it easy, majority of the bottles are dusty and wonder if some of the older ones are properly cared for, rotated, etc... read more

I always pass by this place and wanted to check it out. I started looking around, as they have a pretty big selection. Immediately felt like I was being watched, but I was the only one in the store so I didn't think much of it. I ended up grabbing a can from the fridge and taking it up to the front. I gave the lady my ID, and she scanned it over and over and said it wouldn't scan and she couldn't sell me the alcohol. I told her that I never had an issue with it before and she just shrugged. Like she couldn't just look at my birthday? Not that it should matter but I have a Real ID, the one with the bear with a star in the corner. Never coming back, would not recommend. read more

Love the selection at this store and the staff is always super helpful. You should be able to find anything you need at Vendome.

The first time I went in, I didn't have a positive experience. Lady started to follow me as soon as I worked in, I literally went to the beer section and grabbed a six-pack, and it took me 20 seconds to bring it to the counter. To the owner or employee, get over yourself, and no one wants to steal 2 dollars worth of shit. Then, they overcharged me for cigarettes. Place is dead for a reason. I thought it would be a place I could go as I'm new to the area. First and last time. read more

Don't go here! I walked in the store after a hard days work,"I'm a higher up at one of the largest tech companies in the world by the way" and this young lady had the nerve to make me feel like a transient or something, following me around the store. I love the selection of beer they have. Me being the connoisseur I am with German beer... this young lady decided I was an undesirable. lol! She thought it was South central LA. Can we educate these people doing business here? JS. read more

So glad I stopped in at Vendome hoping against hope to find some Fess Parker Frontier Red. Eve at the order desk said she could certainly order it for me!! No minimum. She ordered it up and contacted me that it was in. So so happy. When y came in for it I bought 4 ( super reasonable $$) with a multi bottle discount. She was also able to find a nice red zinfandel with a screw top for my sister that has trouble w/corks. Couldn't ask for better customer service and a great selection. Staff know their products. Highly recommend and am now a grateful and dedicated new customer!thank you Vendome read more

Vendome Wine & Spirits - Fess Parker Frontier Red ordered!! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Fullerton, California

June 2019 Very large selection on Wines, Spirits, imported and local. The owner of the shop was friendly and ready to assist us with questions we had. The location offers Wine tastings based on the vendor? The prices of the wine are much better than most stores (grocery stores, bevmo, wine and more). Great selection on wines that are higher end. I found some wines that Disney generally serves (Magicale (sparking red wine "notes of cherry, raspberry"). read more

This has been my go-to place for years. Such an impressive, affordable option when selecting all your needs. I often come in here to perise their bottles of Moscato, the sweet, dessert wine. The selections can range from an affordable $4.99 on up to nearly $30.00 based on age, location, or region for example. I also love stocking up on special event/vacation cigars. I maybe indulge in 2-3 a year, so I love walking in the humidor and inhaling that scent! I usually choose the blue-labeled Blondie, by Acid. It's my favorite and tastes so good on my lips! They carry a huge selection of reds, white, liquors, spirits, and gift items. There are even those adorable .99cent plastic bottles which make for great stocking stuffers or gifts to friends. Check them out! read more

Vendome Wine & Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Fullerton, California

For a place that prides itself on being one of the best liquor stores in OC, their customer service is an absolute dumpster fire. My fiance and I are a week away from getting married and had placed an order nearly two months ago for a keg of Coors Light and Bud Light. Arguably the two most consumed beers around. We were told that it was not going to be a problem and we would be all set.. Well today we received a call today from the female manager/owner. She proceeded to tell me that they couldn't get any kegs in, but they could try next week. Mind you, my wedding is in 10 days. When I asked what the likelihood of it happening was and how they couldn't have kegs after a 2 month lead time, the manager/owner immediately snapped at me and let me know that if I "don't like it, then take your money back." Well with an attitude like that, why wouldn't I! Too make things even better, when I went in to collect my refund, the cashier said that the same manager/owner would have to process the refund. When they went back to get her, she refused to assist me and would not even offer an apology. Vendome used to be quality and I've always tried to support local small businesses, but this was just too much. Between their ridiculously high prices and abysmal customer service, I'll definitely be taking my business elsewhere. Trust me, you're better off going to Bevmo or down to Hi-Times in Costa Mesa, they know how to treat the customer right! read more

Found some surprisingly obscure and hard to find wines here. My husband now shows here regularly for cigars - they have a good selection. PROS: Good fair prices on wine, alcohol and cigars. Good selection of hard to find wines Pick any 3 wines is 10% off, any 6 are 15% off daily Cigars - on Tuesday's- 15% off cigars CONS: None except wish they were bigger and closer to me ;) read more

Owner/manager Vikki has been my go-to for wine & spirit recommendations for the last 20+ years. Her knowledge is expansive. If I need a gift for a vodka drinker, she'll ask questions and make an appropriate suggestion. When I needed to buy a case of good, but affordable white & red wines, she pointed out exactly what I needed. Though I don't drink (or buy) as much as I used to, she is always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Bc of COVID, I haven't shopped in about two years, but I reached out and we arranged a time for me to stop by. She spent 30 minutes (I was in a rush, ha!) asking questions trying to assort the perfect 6-pack of wine to be shipped across the country. Based on the two bottles of wine that the recipients LOVE, she curated a half case of impressive, mid-range reds & whites. Yes, the prices may be a bit higher than large box stores, but I shop here for their selection, knowledge and experience. It definitely feels like I'm with a personal shopper at the Nordstrom's of spirits. Depending on the time, there's plenty of parking in the lot. They also offered wine, whisky, beer tastings pre-COVID. Hopefully, that will return once COVID is gone. They have an amazing selection of wines, vodkas, whiskys, beer, etc. Oh, they also have a nice selection of cigars, for your one-stop-shopping needs. Do I recommend? Absolutely! read more

Went here on a hunt for some tequila. They didn't have what I was looking for but they had a large selection of all kinds of spirits. Bought a few bottles because the more you buy the bigger the discount. Prices are fair and the staff is awesome. I've visited their other store but this one I feel has the larger selection. I'll be back. Actually I'll be back tomorrow. read more

Uhm why go here when you can drive 5 minutes to Total Wine & More on Imperial? I don't get the rave reviews. The selection is nowhere close to Total Wine and prices are ridiculously high like BevMo's. Even though I live closer to Vendome, I am going the extra mile or two and shopping at Total Wine. read more

This place used to have a great craft beer selection. Now it seems they think everyone wants whiteclaws and truly. The service has always been total shit but at least the selection was good. Alas, it is no longer leaving me a reason to return. Womp womp read more

Careful. They'll up charge you and hope you don't notice. The lady charged an extra couple bucks for an atm fee but there's no sign posted and when I asked her about why, she stumbled a few words out and looked away. Never coming back. read more

This is only for the cigar section. My homey works at the butcher place (we shall call him Obama) and he asserts the staff & mgmt is legit. I will say, they have a really cute redhead cashier there. She's uber chill and all that. However there is only one person who has a sense of cigars and that's the owner. It's the first time speaking about good smokes to a women. Whether she's a textbook cigar fanatic due to business interest or not, she's knowledegeable. On Tuesdays, they have buy 2, get one free. This is really good when they have Padron #1-#3 and 80th anni stogies in stock. They would be losing money if that was the case. The humidor appears small but space is well utilized with a plethora of options. Most of the usual suspects are in stock and for a few stogies brands they had them b4 the other areas however, the majority of the time, v-dome is 20-40 days late with new stuff. V-dome also has cigar of the month deals. Sometimes they are great deals like when they had Oliva G series for a couple months. I think cigar people will be shocked how good this place can be but another issue was the humidifier. It can be a bit too moist sometimes which is no bueno. read more

The selection is great, but all the bottles are pretty dusty and the store is pretty run down. Big store, endless variety of liquors, while we did get what we were looking for, there are much nicer liquor stores. Prices are on the high side as well, not really any specials going on. Service was nice and there is a ton of easy parking out front. Not worth going out of my way to come back for. read more

Visiting from out of state and was looking for a particular wine to give as a gift. A Google search led us to believe Vendome would have it so we paid them a visit. The clerk behind the register sent their resident wine expert over to help us and we discovered said requested wine was sold out but after a conversation about the likes/dislikes of the gift recipient, she helped us choose a nice wine. I wish I had caught her name (she was Asian) but she sure seemed to know her wines. After settling on a 2007 Sweetwater Ranch Levendi Cab our sommelier just disappeared without a word. I guess we were done? Prices were a little high but I felt we were well taken care of and were guided to an excellent choice for our gift. read more

This place has a serious selection of wine and beer. I could (practically) find pretty much anything I ever wanted to drink. The atmosphere is laid back and not pretentious at all. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. David Sanchez is THE BEST! Wine tasting is a must whenever you can fit it in. The price is right ($5-10 depending on the day) for a flight of about 5 wines. read more

This is the only place I can find Bitburger 5L mini keg at a reasonable price. They also have a few more Keg selection that I love such as the DogFish Head 90 min IPA 1/6 size keg, perfect for mid-size home party. They have a decent setting for wine, you can find wine at different price range, region, and category. They also have a description tag on some of their recommend wine. It will give you some basic background and taste note on wine that are new to you. I would give them a 5 star if they have more keg selection on Belgium and German beer. read more

Looking for some Caymus and Opus one. Couldn't get the clerk to even respond to my questions. I was the only one in the store.. Not sure why he was so pre-occupied. End up getting 6 bottles of Caymus 2018 at Ralph's off Rose. Way better deal and Ralph's . read more

Awesome customer service! Definitely will be a regular. The owner typically doesn't give discounts on the red or yellow labeled price tags but he was feeling generous. He mentioned about only getting an hour of sleep because he camped out for a bottle release. I can relate since I recently waited six hours for a pour of Pliny last month. Bought six bombers plus two four packs of Modern Times. Really great place! Small craft area but nicely organized. Hopefully he can expand the craft beer shelves and fridge. :) read more

Always hard to find a good bottle of Japanese Whiskey, more so now that Japanese Whiskey has been getting more and more popular. They have hibiki here. When you can't find your bottle of harmony elsewhere come here. This is a fancy liquorstore and they have top shelf selections. Will definitley come back. Also they have amazing customer service. The cashier helped us wrap our bottle up on Christmas Eve! read more

Not really, but if you are a student at CSF or any where else use your student ID card and save a couple of bucks to buy your self a new beer bong or a beer pong set college life needs its diversions! Money's tight why waste it. Also they do wine tastings here too! I've never been to one but have plans to check out the grapes of wrath there.

Everyone has their quest...the best donut, the best pizza, the best breakfast burrito... My buddy calls me the Huell Howser of liquor stores...I will stop in the most random liquor store to pick up some obscure beer or spirit. That's my thing! Chang, Xingu, Harbin, Cerveza-Aguila, Zhu Jiang, Mackeson, Cusquena, Prime Max, Imperial, Cristal, Alhambra...yeah, I like imports... He-Brew, Kona, DogFish Head, Che...you get the idea, yeah, I like domestic craft brews as well... Vendome is NOT a liquor store...Vendome is a gourmet liquor market! Quality wine, spirit and beer selection to fit all budgets...heck, you can even pick up wine or beer gift baskets year round! Something for the classy alcoholic in your life... Although there are some good values here, this is not the place to pick up beer for your college party (where you're just drinkin' to get drunk)...If you're looking to pick up a 12, 18 or 30 pack of some cheap macrobrew, you'd be better off going to the nearby Albertsons or Rite-Aid. However, if you are a beer snob, or just want to enjoy your beer, Vendome has everything from classic Belgian ales like Duvel and Chimay to more western flavors like Urthel Hop-it and DogFish Head...want to go further west?, they have Hawaiian Primo Beer as well. Great selection, there is something here for you, but as a couple other reviews mention, this isn't BevMo...there are no club cards, ads to look through, etc... Also, not that Vendome is NOT open as late as other reviews suggest...I'm not sure what their schedule is, but I pass by hoping to pick something up and see them closed well before 9PM... Dammit, I need a beer... read more

I had to come here after Catherine N said that it was the "Hi-Times of North OC." She wasn't joking. Upon walking in, you see that wonderful sign about the student discounts for you college folk- something that I wish I would have known about when I was a CSUF student, I would have definitely taken full advantage of it. Upon entrance, my heart skipped a beat. There was soo much inside in terms of booze. Beer, wine, and hard stuff- all different types, all different colors. I headed over to the beer section to scour the different countries they had. Since I was going to a party that had an Asian theme for food, I decided on a crisp Chinese beer- Yanjing I think it was called. It was quite nice. I'm definitely going to come back to indulge in their Hofbrau Haus and German beers for the fall- they had a huge section devoted to them. They do wine tastings- I would check their calendar for their schedule since I didn't pay much attention. The staff was nice and ready to give recommendations and Jaime P freaked out because they had a wine called Magicale that I guess was only offered at the Disneyland Parks but has been since pulled away. I've never heard of it- then again, I'm not a huge wine drinker. Though it's not as big as Hi-Times, this is definitely a great place to go without making the commute to Costa Mesa. I'm definitely coming back! read more

What do you get when you have a place with a great wine selection, awesome and helpful customer service and a wine tasting section? Heaven, duh!! Well if you are into any of the things I mentioned above you have to stop in. This place is located on Yorba Linda right by Albertsons. They have a really refreshing selection compared to any other store I've been to besides total wine. Even then, Vendome had varieties I hadn't even seen before. Obviously I had 4 or 5 I couldn't decide on so I asked one of the associates for help. The guy was super nice and actually had me put all of the choices I had back and he selected one that was half the price. Sean Minor Cab for 13.99. He was very friendly and you can tell he knows his stuff. Well, got home and popped it open and boy was he right. Smooth, strong and slightly dry. Yuuuummeeee! I will definitely be back to try other flavors. Located in a small strip mall an parking was not a problem. Prices are a little on the mid range side but good wine is not cheap. Thanks Vendome, see you again soon! read more

Vendome Wine & Spirits - Pretty darn good! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Fullerton, California

Forget BevMo in Brea. This is where it's at. Let's get straight to the heart of the matter: The Booze: Excellent selection of everything under the sun. From beer & wine to champagne & whiskey, a great tequila selection, and tons of vodkas... Vendome is anything but average. They even carry a ton of stuff that I never see at BevMo, including exotic pale ales and stouts in large champagne bottles, not to mention, they always have great specials going... A Walk-In-Humidor: For cigar lovers, tracking down a spot that won't rip you off when it comes to tobacco is big business. Even bigger business than you'd imagine. Most places' markups are ridiculous and I'll spare you the percentages. Just know that at Vendome, you can grab a good (quality) stick, and at a fair price. If you go on Tuesdays, there's a buy two, get one free deal on cigars, which is right up my alley since I don't know when I'll get the time to come back. Add the option to purchase Lotto tickets at the register when you're tipsy, some candy bar action, and I'm sold. 4 stars for now, I'll re-rate upon my next visit. read more

Christa has died and gone to heaven! Vendome should replace all Bev Mo's. Please visit and don't judge a book by its cover. It needs some renovation in my opinion but I am convinced they rather budget for amazingness on their shelves. Vendome I love you and I miss visiting like we used to. Sorry I moved further away but I will be back to hang out soon. I promise. read more

OVERALL RATING = 4 / 10 The BEER SELECTION (purchased items) = 8 Bruery Cuir = ? Russian River Temptation = ? The PRICES = 6 The SERVICE = 4 The APPEAL = 5 I once tried to purchase a Pliny here. The price tag on bottle read $5.99. I thought, "Hey, that's not bad." When the cashier rung me up... That'll be $6.99. It's not $5.99? (pointing to the price on bottle). No, it's $6.99 ... ... oh, ok then... nevermind. I only come here on occasion to see if they have anything I can't get anywhere else. Their selection's not bad, but they charge a bit too much. They happen to have some decent older beers like Lost Abbey's Gift of the Magi. So it's pretty much hit or miss (usually miss) on visits here for beer. Also, the atmosphere feels like a craft beer/wine store. It's a shame that their service is pretty bad. Cheers? read more

Vendome has an incredible assortment of beers. Their wines are also plentifull. But beer is running the show here. Bitburger, Stella, European craft beers ... just, a lot! Tobbacco selection is still decent. Their prices could be a little bit lower, though. Same goes for the service, they can be on the rude side I guess. But, if you're looking for a specific brand of beer (even wine/spirits) you will most probably find it. read more

I have gone here many times to get items that just can't be found anywhere else. If they don't have it in stock, they will order it for you. There is nowhere else you can get some of them in the entire state! Wine and More may have a larger selection of wines and beers, but the liquor selection here is the best. You also can't beat these guys on customer service! read more

I've been coming to Vendome's now for well over a year and I am continually pleased with what they have to offer. Whenever I need a wine, beer, or spirit for an event, whether it's a birthday party or some fancy dinner, all I have to do is tell David the details and he always selects the best possible match. Dude hits it on the head every single time and I've never been disappointed. The weekly wine tastings are great. The staff is great. The prices are competitive with everyone else; I'm not sure what all these yelpers are complaining about. I highly recommend to check them out if you're ever in the area. If you can, attend one of their wine or beer tastings! read more

Vendome, is like my liquor Mecca. I've been coming here for a few years now originally just for the wine tasting, but what started out as a little flirtation has turned into a serious relationship. First the wine tastings, they have them weekly, there's usually some kind of theme behind them, and it's a great opportunity to try new wines. Plus after a while, either Vikki or David, will really begin to have a feel for your palate, so they can tip you off if an upcoming tasting will be to your liking or something you can pass on. Second, this place has so much more than wine, they have a great beer selection, which they are also more than happy to give you recommendations on and they have turned me on to more than a few of my favorites, but they'll also host the occasional liquor or cigar tastings nearby. That's another thing, they've got a decent selection in their humidor and there's almost always some kind of cigar special going on to. Now I'll admit, this isn't the place to hit up for liquor that you can buy on sale at your grocery store, obviously the prices won't compare, but it is the place to go if you want some high quality wines, beers, liquors or cigars. read more

Super helpful staff here. They know what they have in stock and where it's located. The parking here is a bit brutal since it is shared with the rest of the stores around. So you're gonna have to walk. read more
