It was already a very hot day in Tarpon, at the Sponge Docks... then the rain came pouring down. Good thing I had already tucked in here to check out a) the menu, b) the fun merch, c) the bottles for saleand d) the ac. I went from happily browsing (and finding fun gift items for friends)... to delightedly sipping at the bar. That's where I learned you can do free tastings. Oh yes, that's got "Jen on a Saturday" written all over it. I told the super friendly and fun owner what I like (Pinot Grigio) and she found three amazing chilled whites for me to try. Two were really good... one was full out fabulous. I ordered a glass.. the owner served up a great pour-and I sat there happily chatting with the folks around me-who were more into the social scene than their screens. It was such a fun place to perch. They have a nice selection of craft beers-some local. And I know they had big pretzels, for those weren't full of saganaki and salad like I was (that would be a fun band name-Saganaki and salad). There are board games to play at the scattered tables and really good live music. (it was mid-afternoon when I was there.) I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had another engagement to get to--and a short window between rains to get to my car-at the other end of Dodecanese--so I had to dash. It would be the perfect place to hang with friends. I'll rally the troops. This fun spot is located on the far end of the main drag... past the fudge shop-adjacent to the tea and flag shops-across from the mini light house and parking. The prices are very reasonable-selection is large and interesting-and the staff is very welcoming. I took home a bottle of my new favorite wine... and can't wait to come back ti taste and buy more. Cheers! read more

Jim's daughter Karissa worked here part time for years. He has a fond memory of a "Big Bad" Pinot noir. "Best I've ever had.", he states. A very attractive space, the chairs are comfortable and there are many options for wine, beer and home made sangrias. Nice soundtrack playing, sports on the TV. read more

Some friends of mine were here from New York so we decided to visit Tarpon Springs one of the days. My favorite shops are in the plaza with the Wine at the Docks store so we started at that end and as we were leaving the Tea and Spice store, it started to pour. What better way to wait out the rain than to have a glass of sangria at Wine at the Docks? The store has moved to the end of the plaza where the old aquarium used to be. It is a much bigger space and a nice space, I am sure, for happy hour as well. We sampled some wine, had some of the sangria and purchased some cool wine, themed merch. Our bartender was super friendly and very helpful. I would absolutely stop here on an afternoon at the docks! read more

5 Stars: Sangria Shenanigans and Pirate Antics on the Sponge Docks - A Sip of Greek Magic! Oh, Tarpon Springs, you salty siren of the sea! This past weekend, my girlfriend Ivana and I sailed into Wine at the Docks like two love-struck pirates chasing a fruity treasure map. Nestled in the heart of the world-famous Sponge Docks (where the air smells like feta dreams and salty adventures), this boutique wine haven is equal parts cozy nook and flavor fiesta. Picture this: bougainvillea-draped walls, the gentle lapping of the Anclote River outside, and a vibe so chill, even the sponges would blush. We kicked things off with the star of the show - the sangria flight! Five glorious goblets of rotating ruby elixir, each one more tantalizing than the last. The Sangrito? A sassy sangria-mojito mashup that had us giggling like tipsy mermaids - zesty lime, minty whispers, and a boozy hug that screams "summer fling!" Ivana declared it her new spirit animal (she's a sucker for anything that fizzes with citrus), and I? Well, I got so swept up in the moment, I stood on a chair, fashioned a paper napkin into a pirate hat, and let out a hearty "Argh, matey, this be the finest sangria in all the seven seas!" (The other patrons clapped, so I'm basically a local legend now.) Tasty? Honey, these weren't just tasty - they were a flavor rebellion, plotting to overthrow your boring old rosé. Non-wine drinkers beware: one flight and you're hooked, begging for an encore. They poured us complimentary tastings of local gems and ouzo-infused oddities faster than you can say "opa!" We snagged a bottle of something bubbly to take home, because why let the party dock when you can bottle the buzz? If you're wandering the docks dodging tourist traps (looking at you, overpriced baklava stands), detour here for a quirky escape that'll have you toasting to more weekends like this. Ivana and I left floating on a sangria cloud, with me still sporting my makeshift pirate hat - 10/10, would dock again. Prost to the docks! read more

Cool spot that offers locally created wines and some good stuff from other regions as well. The bartender took us on a fun ride while he let us try 3 wines explaining each in detail and he was spot on. Picked one and enjoyed ourselves. Nice and relaxing. read more

What a great place! The perfect balance between a winery with a brewery vibe. Patti was incredible, knowledgeable, and friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

The large pink building has a set of shops where Wine at the Docks is located. It's a quaint little place that houses many local flavors and it gives you a variety through a mini tasting tour as well. Since I did not have a lot of time, I could not take the tour so I grabbed a couple of bottles for the trip home. I like ALL wine so I didn't care what it tasted like. I just wanted something local from that region to commemorate my trip with friends back home. The ship's owner is a lovely and friendly person who welcomed me in with a small plastic cup to at least try one. I was so glad because it was the hurricane wineI brought home. Tarpon Springs is such a lovely place to visit with lots of history and local flare. I highly recommend checking out Wine at the Docks for a lovely sip and allow the locals to share stories with you. It will make your trip more interesting and enjoyable. read more

Had to come in and check the place out since they had free wine tasting! I love that I could sample before I buy. Made my choice so much easier. As soon as I saw the Mama Guava wine I knew it has to be good. I asked if I could sample and it was absolutely delicious! I bought 1 bottle and will definitely be getting more on future trips. read more

My boyfriend and I went out to Dunedin for an exploration date day and saw a sign for free wine tasting and went on it! They helped me find some reds I actually like which has been hard for me! One of the owners was there and it had small town vibes where people knew each other, yet fun for out of towners to explore too! The sangrias (the owner who wasn't there makes) will even have non-wine drinkers coming back for more! I was obsessed with the Sangrito (a sangria mojito!) so refreshing and yummy and not too sweet! I loved their license plate signs too, cool and unique! Would definitely stop there again when in Dunedin! read more

Service was very welcoming and helpful. Wines purchased were delicious! Love to support local businesses.

The selection was very good. They have something for everyone. I prefer sweet and they had several sangria to try. The owner was there and she was very friendly to talk to. I could have stayed and had several more glasses but the sangria is sneaky as by taste alone you wouldn't assume that it had much alcohol but three glasses in (one of each flavor) I had to take a break. You can't beat the views if you sit outside but getting to sit at the bar allowed us to really meet the staff. read more

Very cool place. Free tastings. Nice selection of local and Greek wines. Ed welcomed us and explained about the wines and other fun places to visit in Tarpon Springs. Can't wait to come back! read more

A great little wine bar that serves beer too! The wine shop attached has a great selection of bottles to choose from. And the owner is ready, and willing, to let you try the wines, and get you tipsy in the process!! read more

Wow nice place with such a great atmosphere, the owners are friendly, beer and wine are amazing, live music! All I can say you won't be disappointed read more

Highly recommend! We were encouraged to try as many free samples as we wanted and the woman there was very friendly and helpful!

This store is very welcoming and offers a sit-down bar and lounge area attached. The owners were friendly and provided free wine samples to anyone that wanted to try local Florida wines. They carry a great selection of wines from Greece, Florida (Clearwater, St. Petersburg), and Germany. If you like sweet or fruit wines, this is the place to go. read more

Wine At The Docks - Store inside. - Wine Bars Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

What a charming little shop! We popped in to pick up wine for dinner and the owner let us sample quite a few to choose the right one. She really knew the flavor profiles and made some great recommendations. They have some exotic and Florida specific wines, such as Key Limen, made only with limes, no grapes. They also have a bar on the other side, as well as some outside tables, and wines are available by the glass. read more

Disappointed. They have a neon sign in front that says FREE Wine Tasting. Went inside and everyone I asked said that they did not offer it and were rude about it. Would not go back. read more

Unfriendly people... they just treat you right if you buy a lot. Nobody wants to help you when you get there

Second time I've tried to come and look around at local wines and was highly disappointed by the worker. She was unpleasant and unfriendly and not even helpful. I work at a winery and therefore was curious as to some of the wines they had in the tarpon springs area, but barely could get an answer. I was looking to try some wines but was never asked or even wanting to ask if we could because I didn't want to deal with the worker. Disappointing. read more

Oh my gosh! Wine at the Docks is the best stop on Tarpon! Kathie and Char were the absolute sweetest, full of knowledge and more than helpful! They navigated me to the best wine choice for my taste buds, and did not leave me disappointed! And I hear they are on the list for some tours! So defiantly make them your next stop! read more

The reviews were very good but it seemed like they were under staffed and not super friendly. Super cute little place. I would still recommend going! Could have been an off day read more

We had such a pleasant experience sampling some wines here with the owner. She was extremely knowledgeable of their offerings and provided some excellent recommendations. There's also a bar where you can sit down and have full beers and wine. read more

So the bartender at this place was the most unfriendly bartender I've ever met. That alone would keep me from going back. The place looks decent and I'm sure the wine is OK but customer service is paramount! read more

This store is located along a Tarpon Springs street full of activities. It's attached to a bar as well, which makes it even cooler. They sell all things wine including lot of different Greek wines. They do wine tastings as well. Added to all the different wine options and wine accessories is a very friendly and helpful staff. I really loved this place! read more

Cute little shop where they had all the local wines in one spot. They had some samples for you to try and the more bottles you buy you get a little discount per bottle. The staff has a great idea of flavor profile. read more

I probably won't go back here. Although they sell nice wine, I've not been impressed with the people who work here lately. They generally are not helpful to customers and have very poor customer service skills. read more

The wine bar is very pleasant, and a great place to relax while visiting the sponge docks. However, I was disappointed in the selection of wines at the wine bar. A disclaimer, I did not visit the wine shop to check out the selection there. The first glass of wine I was poured was bad, I could tell immediately by the color. The second glass was bad as well Obviously the bottles had been open a while and should not have been served. The bartender opened a new bottle, which was fine. I was a little disappointed in the temperature thought, I like my white wine quite chilled and I thought they were close to room temperature. Overall though I enjoyed the atmosphere and the wine I finally received. read more
