Little Vine is a charming artisan shop in North Beach, stocking a curated selection of wines, cheeses, and delicious sandwiches, all served with friendly expertise.
"Small but mighty, Little Vine punches above its weight when it comes to selection, quality, and customer service. Owned by the same folks as Russian Hill wine bar Union Larder, this retail shop boasts an encyclopedic array of bottles and fresh sandwiches to go. Cured meats, stinky cheese, and wines are all top quality." - Paolo Bicchieri, Caleb Pershan, Eater Staff
"Little Vine Wine and Provisions offers a diverse selection of wines and provisions, including a rotating sandwich that’s only available from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. On Thursdays, they serve their most popular Spicy Turkey Sandwich, which features calabrese salami, gochujang aioli, provolone, cornichons, and romaine on an Acme Bread roll." - Matt Tillquist
"Looking for something to do on a Thursday evening or hoping to expand your wine palate? Little Vine artisan grocer on Grant Avenue between Union and Filbert streets offers free monthly wine tastings featuring small-batch, hard-to-find bottles. The shop carries about 75 bottles of red and white wines priced at $20 or less. Cheese samples are offered during the wine tastings as well, though cheese sampling is free anytime. The selection includes a small but well-chosen international selection from California, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland and beyond." - Volume
