Good selection of wine in a comfortable location. The food selections were reasonable and went well with the wines. We enjoyed the flights we tried. Service was a bit slow, but certainly friendly. read more

Vintage Wine Bar - Nice night in Santana Row - Wine Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

I've given this place multiple chances over several visits, but unfortunately the service has been consistently disappointing. My first experience should have been a warning sign. I walked in and stood waiting to be seated while an employee, who appeared to be the owner or manager, continued talking with her kids instead of acknowledging customers. I don't mind waiting, but a simple "We'll be right with you" would have made all the difference. I decided to give them another chance. On a later visit, I spent a few hours working there and ordered drinks. When a friend joined me, he sat down and was completely ignored. No one came over to greet him or ask if he'd like anything. We eventually had to flag someone down just so he could place an order. After that, our server mentioned that Tuesdays were buy one, get one free on wine. I ordered my second glass, but it never arrived. When I asked another server about it, I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing them. The irony is that I would have happily paid full price--I wasn't the one asking for a deal. They were the ones who brought up the promotion, then acted bothered when I politely asked about the wine that was never delivered. The final straw was our most recent visit. We were seated at a table by the staff, only to be told a few minutes later that we had to move because the tables were supposedly reserved for the party sitting behind us. We moved without making an issue of it, but no one ever ended up using those tables for the entire time we were there. It was frustrating to be relocated after being seated, especially when the explanation didn't match what actually happened. At this point, it's hard to view these experiences as isolated incidents. The common theme has been inattentive service and an attitude that makes customers feel like they're an inconvenience rather than guests. There are too many great wine bars that genuinely appreciate their customers for me to spend any more time or money here. read more

We visited during Super Bowl weekend after walking by it a few times before, so we were excited to finally check it out. This spot is really cute. From the outside, it looks like a small church, and inside it feels like a greenhouse. Unfortunately, the service was pretty disappointing. We were seated right away, but no one came by to take our order. After waiting for a while, my husband ended up going to the bar to order directly from the staff at the front. The wine itself was also just okay and was served fairly warm. Not sure if that was intentional, but it wasn't what we expected. Overall, it's cute, but between the lack of service and the underwhelming experience, it's probably not somewhere I'd go back to read more

Vintage Wine Bar - Outside - Wine Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

I visited this past Sunday and though it was a cute outdoor space, unfortunately didn't have the best experience. We were seated almost immediately and ordered drinks, which were good. We wanted to order the cheesy pizza, but the waitress mistakenly brought out a charcuterie board instead. When we pointed it out, there wasn't really an offer to send it back or comp it, so we just decided to take it to go and ordered the pizza afterward. Since we were taking the charcuterie with us, we asked for a bag to carry everything. The waitress came back with gallon-sized Ziploc bags, which honestly felt a little weird and kind of summed up the experience. I'm from San Francisco and went out of my way to try this spot, so it was pretty disappointing overall. read more

Came here and ordered one of their Pinot flights. The portions were fair, and each wine had a unique profile, ranging from lighter to bolder flavors. We were seated right away upon arrival, which was much appreciated. Even though the seating is outside, the heaters made it warm and cozy. I've been here multiple times before but kept forgetting to leave a review. The charcuterie plate is also very good and pairs well with whichever wine you choose. Overall, I've always had a great experience coming here. read more

Cute spot in the middle of Santana Row! Mainly outdoor seating but a cute vibe to sit with friends and talk! We shared a bottle of their riesling which we thought was a good deal for 3 people. It was very sweet and was an easy wine to drink. I would come again to get this wine and for the vibes! read more

Location, location, location. Vintage Wine Bar is smack-dab in the middle of the Row. It's beautifully lit up at night and even more whimsical during Christmas time. Depending on their menu selection, I usually go for either their sparkling flight or a bottle of bubbly. Their menu does alternate, as one time they had lambrusco! Knocking down a star due to slower service. Even when the place is empty, it still seems to take them a bit for turn around time, but it's not the worst thing in the world since the vibes are always vibing there. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Santana Row. Ambiance is great, fabulous wine selection, and the snack selection has variety. The service, however, is very slow. I often find myself waiting much longer than I should for food+wine and even longer for the check. The bussers are kind but a bit inexperienced and unprofessional. I will be back but hoping for faster service. read more

While on Santana Row we popped in here to check it out and get a glass of wine or two. Looks like a great place with mostly outdoor seating. Upon entering we were seated quickly. The wines and eats on the menu looked totally ok. We decided on wines then we waited. And waited more. And waited a little but more. So wine was good but I don't recall what I had other than a heavy red. My partner had the riesling. The patio is really nice. So maybe if we stayed there longer service might have improved but we decided to move on. Next time in the area may try again. 3 stars for now. read more

Very convenient spot and vibes BUT the service is truly disappointing!! Sometimes all you need is is a good glass of wine and a refreshing space unfortunately they only have wine. Many other places around with better experiences for sure read more

Vintage Wine Bar - Mid - Wine Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

Service is HORRIBLE... Literally came before 8pm and we were sat down and took the server more than 10 minutes to get to us when the place wasn't even busy ... we had to wave her down to even get her attention and then she tells us when we are ordering that kitchen is close. CRAZY.. just unacceptable when they don't close until 9pm and it wasn't even 8pm yet And our last visit wasn't great either. Keep in mind this place isn't cheap either. But the food and wine are good but the service sucks ! I feel like it just gets even worse every single time. They really need to work on the service. And if they're closing at 9 PM, their kitchen should be open to 830 at least. And my recent visits have been in the last month I don't think I will be back for a while, even though I love this place ... We came on a Friday evening 5/30/25 and a Sunday evening 6/8/25 read more

One of my favorite places in the South Bay for hanging with friends. Park at nearby garages, deal with the Santana traffic, sit in the middle of chaos and feel cozy. They have good selections of wines, whatever kind you like, they have something. Prices could be high, a default tip of 18% is added with a group of 6 or more - could be hidden, service is okay ish and can be hit or miss depending on the person you get. read more

Absolutely amazing! You can get a three wine flight for less than 30! Waitress was amazing and allowed for ample time for a much needed girls night, we didn't feel rushed at all. The wine was excellent read more

I stopped by this place while shopping with friends and it's a nice little spot in the middle of Santana Row. I got their Funday Cabby Funday flight and their burrata primavera. It was a bit pricey for everything but considering that it's in Santana Row it's not unexpected. The wine was okay but I wish our server could have pointed out which wine was what when she brought the flight out. Overall the service wasn't bad but it can get a bit slow when it gets busy so just a heads up. read more

Lately, the volume of music played at Vintage Wine Bar has been too loud for my and my husband's liking. We used to really enjoy sitting at an outdoor table and people watching, but for the last several months we have been having a glass and sometimes a charcuterie plate at Vintage Wine Merchants around the corner. Maybe the music would be OK for a club at night, but it doesn't work when you want to relax with a glass of wine. The servers and the quality of the food and wine are still very good, but the atmosphere is not as nice as it used to be. read more

Vintage wine bar is one of my favorite places in the South Bay! To be honest Desiree is the driving force behind this. Waiting for a dinner reservation, a casual girls night out, or if you just need a glass of wine and a good book this is the place. Come for the charcuterie and Riesling and all of your problems will vanish! Service is excellent and if you get a chance to meet Desiree or Taryn your night will be made! I can't recommend vintage wine bar enough! read more

Cozy spot, but be mindful of the noise! It's a small and cozy place with both indoor and outdoor seating. Since it was raining, my friend and I chose to sit indoors. Initially, it was perfect -- quiet and relaxing. A couple of tables were occupied by two people, and everything seemed peaceful. Then four guys walked in, and it completely changed the atmosphere. It got incredibly loud to the point where I couldn't even hear myself talk. I had to raise my voice so my friend could hear me, which definitely ruined the cozy vibe we were hoping for. Tip: If you choose to sit inside, make sure the space isn't filled with loud groups. Other than that, the food was good, the wine was delicious, and the servers were very friendly and polite. Worth a visit, just be mindful of the noise level! read more

We loved everything about this sweet little find! It's right in the middle of Santana Row, so people are walking around shopping while you leisurely enjoy your meal.

I love this place to hang out and chat with friends and/or family. They have great wine selections. You can order by the bottles or by the glass. They have wine and whiskey flights too, if you would like to taste different ones. I like the French wine flight. Their selections changes from time to time, so we like to come by when we can to taste different wines. Service is mostly great... just sometimes they could be forgetful when they get busy, so we just needed to remind them what we needed. read more

I had an awesome pre-birthday celebration here with my partner. Love the atmosphere right in the middle of Santana row. Prices are high but cheaper than other wine bars I looked at. Wine was great, charcoochie plate was even better. Except for the nasty old looking chocolates they included. Waitress dropped wine glasses near us but nothing spilled on us. She apologized a million times and comped our charcoochie plate. Huge win. read more

My boyfriend and I visited the Vintage Wine Bar on Sunday, 11/26/23, in the late afternoon. We decided to get the Sauvignon Wine Flight: -2020 Grgich Hills Sauvignon Blanc Fumé Blanc Napa Valley -2020 Château Lilian Ladouys St-Estèphe, France -2021 Post and Beam Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley The wines tasted amazing. We also ordered our own cup of Tomato Bisque soup with bread. The soup itself was so warm and flavorful. The bread was tasty as well. I loved the friendly and quick service from the staff. The outdoor ambiance was very lovely and beautiful. I recommend coming here. It's a great spot, especially for a nice date. read more

Vintage wine bar has been one of my go-to places at Santana Row for charcuterie and wine. The majority of their seating it outdoors, so if you love al fresco dining you'll love this place. The patio is also pup-friendly! When the weather is bad, you can visit their shop Vintage Wine Merchants across from the theater that provide a more casual indoor tasting experience. Service is hit or miss, but that's what I've come to expect from all the restaurants at Santana row. I always order the cheese and charcuterie plate, but they also have a small food menu if you're looking for something substantial. Personally, I always get one of their wine flights. Their pours are very generous, and I find it a better value compared to the individual glass pours. read more

I used to come here more often, and I forgot what an amazing and relaxing place this is, tucked in in the middle of Santana Row. I will certainly return!

It is perfect setting for a glass of wine after shopping or a pre (or after) dinner drink and conversation. read more

In the heart of Santana Row, this unique building encompasses everything you would need a wine bar to have, plus more! This place not only carries wine, they carry whiskey and more! And from all areas of the world. You can sit and order 1oz tasters of each which I loved. They have a little outdoor area with heaters in the back whixh helps with the cold front that recently came in. Highly recommended for wine sipping and soaking in this vintage styled ambience! read more

My friends and I visited Vintage Wine Bar on a Friday evening and were seated right away with no reservation. We sat outside, and while the tables weren't the most comfortable, it was a great place for people watching on Santana Row. It's also pretty cute at night with all the string lights. I also have to mention that our server was very sweet to my dog and brought out a water bowl upon request. All three of us decided to try the wine flights - I got the Cabernet & Friends Flight and my friends chose the Wide World of Reds Flight and what I believe was called the Juicy Flight? I don't see it on their menu now, but I'm 80% sure that was the name. We genuinely enjoyed all the wines and the pours were quite reasonable. We also decided to get some snacks - my friend's Tomato-Pesto Grilled Cheese was good but ultimately nothing special (it's just a grilled cheese, after all). However, my other friend really enjoyed the Burrata Primavera and my Nuts for Brie was easily the star of the show. They import their Brie from France, and it tastes incredible - very generous portion size too, so I recommend sharing this one! Overall, I would happily return to Vintage Wine Bar. read more

I walked from my hotel to Santana Row. Absolutely lovely area! I walked into Vintage Wine Bar after having lunch and doing some shopping. Empty tables abound but the patio looks like it might possibly be full. As she dries 3 clean wine glasses, she tells me if I'd like to be seated to come back in 15 minutes to allow her to clean the stemware....mind you, I only need one and I just watched her dry 3. There are a lot of great places on Santana Row. I'm going to check out my alternatives. read more

Vintage Wine Bar - Great ambience, bad wine. I can buy any $10 wine and it's guaranteed to taste better than anything they have in the menu. - Wine Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

I've been coming here for years, and I love that they have a nice selection of whiskey now! Wine: meh. Over half their wines are NOT good. Despite wine being their bread and butter, their selection is average or miss. Ask to get a small taste before ordering, and ask to mix and match if you get a flight. Because 1-2 of every 3 wines are not great. Food: the only thing that's worth getting (maybe) is the truffle chips. But after inflation the chips have half the truffle flavor LOL. Service is not bad though and it's a fun place to hang out with plenty of patio seating and heat lamps. read more
