Vila Viniteca

Vila Viniteca is pure heaven for anyone who loves good food and wine. The cheese selection is out of this world—creamy, crumbly, funky, and everything in between. Add a bottle from their incredible wine collection, and you’ve got yourself the perfect pairing. And don’t even get me started on the delicatessen—it’s packed with goodies like Iberian ham, truffle treats, and other irresistible bites. It’s the kind of place where you pop in for a snack and end up leaving with a bag full of gourmet treasures. A must-visit for anyone who loves to eat and drink well.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Vila Viniteca, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The wine selection is unparalleled, boasting a top collection that caters to every palate and preference. After choosing a superb wine, I indulged in their selection of preserved foods, and I was blown away by the quality and taste. Each bite was a divine experience, with flavors that danced on my palate and left me craving more. Additionally, I was incredibly impressed with the level of assistance I received in selecting the perfect wine. The staff at Vila Viniteca are highly knowledgeable and passionate about their craft, and their expert recommendations truly enhanced my dining experience. Their guidance ensured that I found the ideal wine to complement the exquisite flavors of the preserved foods. Overall, the impeccable service, coupled with the exceptional wine and divine preserved foods, make Vila Viniteca a five-star destination for any food and wine enthusiast.

The BEST place in Barcelona to get amazing cheese and more. Service has always been awesome and personal (but we also speak Spanish). Excellent selection of delicatessen products.

Fantastic selection of delicacies. Kind and understanding personnel!

City center wineshop can “take you for a ride”. Bought 3 bottles of wine and one champagne for a Christmas dinner and did not enjoy anything recommended. There was an unpleasant gesture when they offered me the first bottle for €67, while I saw the second shop assistant giving a smile to his colleague giving a try on a dumb tourist. My budget was not high from the start : €20 / bottle and a bit more for champagne, and I voiced it. Assistants offered something. Subjective taste, but nothing worth a second buy. This Champagne retails for €33-35, while they sell for €44.50; stating that was their cheapest type. I’m far from a specialist in wines, but that store experience left me with a pretty average aftertaste.

Great selection of wines and spirits. Pretty deaf towards customers. They try to upsell on price instead of taste preference. It seems like low volume buyers aren't welcome. Requests for recommendations were completely ignored. Everything we were told was about the price. Left a bad impression although I'm sure the wines we bought will taste good. I'm also sure the same wines we will buy somewhere else will taste better.

Fantastic wine shop with amazing service.

For me, the go to wine and more store in Barcelona. You could be overwhelmed, hang on. Head into the secret cellar at the back for treasure. The owner is such a gentleman and so helpful. Left with a tres mil botteils and the Krypta collectors case!!

We enjoyed tapas in the downstairs "cave" paired with wine from their AMAZING wine shop next door (I stopped in the wine store first to pick the wine. The selection is incredible). Food service was slow but we had plenty of time (drank two bottles of great Spanish wine). Great place to get meats, cheeses, bread, etc. if you want to have a picnic or something to snack on in your hotel.

Bar Brutal recommend coming here. My American interpretation of Vila Viniteca; a true version of a 'High End' gourmet New York deli grocer with a 'Smithsonian' sized Wine Shop. The wine shop looks like a library & indeed it is. You name it, it's probably there & with the most helpful staff. The food & kitchen shop is boutique in style. You can eat tapas made with ingredients available for purchasing. Service was extremely warm, friendly & helpful. If you want to bring home eclectic Spanish ingredients or wines before heading back to the boat or to take back to your room, stop here. It's a must.

Great service and very good selection of wines from all over the world. The staff is very knowledgeable and had some great recommendations for champagne, cava, French burgundy and new Spanish wines for a party we were hosting.

Outstanding selection! As Napa regulars, my partner and I enjoy big, bold cabs, but we are not as familiar with Spanish wines. The staff made some great recommendations for regions and wines that we should experience, so we purchased a few bottles for our stay. We are currently enjoying Priorat and Toro, and the suggested wines are absolute perfection. Thank you for guiding us in the right direction - we look forward to returning one last time, so we can order a last round before our flight. If you're a wine enthusiast, you must stop here!

Amazing wine shop. They were extremely helpful and helped us find some amazing wines. Very accommodating and I wish this place was in my neighborhood!! Thank you!!

They've a wine shop and a gourmet food section(next to wine store). Wine shop: huge selection, service was personable but not super helpful or enthusiastic in contrast to wine stores we've encountered in Spain and elsewhere. Didn't feel compelled to buy anything. Gourmet food shop: service was ok. Had cheese, Jamon, Olive oil etc. and a small snack bar w/vino. Picked up some cheese and olive oil.

I came specifically looking for sherry wines on the recommendation of one of Barcelona's most gourmet restaurants. Vila Viniteca had about ten or so sherries, but only a handful of Amontillado. The service was excellent, but they just didn't have enough selection relative to my expectation. I think the store should still be visited to browse their overall inventory, but not a mega selection of sherry wine. Enjoy!

I came to this place in October of 2010 in search of wines for my friends. There are several reasons why I came to this place: 1) I don't know much about Spanish wine and needed a gift for my friend's husband who happens to know all sorts of wine since he works in a restaurant 2) I wanted to show my gratitude since they hosted me while I stayed with them 3) I was also visiting her mother that weekend and she hosted me back in 2003 4) Birthday party that weekend From the outside, it looks like a regular wine shop however, once inside, you're overwhelmed by the selections in front of you. I was fortunate enough to find a representative who spoke English and took the time to explain several of the Spanish wines. She asked questions and listened patiently as I'm pretty indecisive. She took the time to explain how the wines are grown and how it fit each palate. I wasn't rushed at all and never gave me the glazed look of boredom. I think I spent about 30 minutes thinking about the 6 bottles she showed me until I made my decision. I ended up purchasing two bottle, both red and unfortunately I'm blanking on the specific names. I do remember the care the woman took to wrap the bottles up in boxes as I was traveling by train and she taped them up to provide enough support so it won't break through. I really appreciated the time she took for me and definitely a fan of this place!

I like this place. A lot. It's a great wine shop and also a deli with all sorts of magic in it. I came here many times and could never leave, not without wanting to buy and eat... everything! Get a few tins of Spanish canned seafood (trust me) especially the anchovies and clams, you can thank me later.

Great selection of wine in a variety of price ranges. When asked those working here are very helpful in recommendations. I picked up two bottles for my trip (18 and 30 Euro). Ended up tasting the 18 Euro bottle later at a restaurant after purchasing when a group I was with order a local wine. It was quite good so I'm not disappointed with their first recommendation. The second wine I'll have to wait and try later and come back here to update my review if their advice was good. At this point though I would go back next time I am in town to try some other wines.

Great place I really should give it 5 but I never give 5! Huge wine selection including many high end bottles. Friendly staff and real prices. This review is for THE store as I have not Tried the all eats next door yet...

There's good, affordable wine in pretty much every supermarket in Barcelona. But if you want something special, whether from the region or from anywhere else in the world (not to mention a price range that is just as varied), this is the place to go. The staff speak multiple languages and could not be any friendlier or helpful. Be sure to try the cava; it's wonderful!

Without question the worst customer service I've ever experienced in a retail establishment. Avoid like the plague!

Not only a great wine shop with a selection of fine wines from around the world, but also across the street from it is a deli, second to none with an amazing selection of cheeses, cured meats, and regional specialities.
