You wont find a better Wine store! What are you waiting for? Go get what you want and browse and speak with the very knowlegable staff and leave happy,satisfied,and with a whole lot of what you never knew you needed! The Champagne selection is fabulous and very reasonably priced! I wish I could give them 10 stars!!
Found this wine store online while looking for an Italian red. I ordered 2, got a call from Frank, who works there, saying they only had 1. He held my order, and when he realized hed be swinging by my way, based on the billing address, he dropped off the wine! Not only that, but he also found the 2nd bottle. Franks service is unbelievable. I feel like this is the Four Seasons of wine shops.I look forward to visiting soon!
Best online shopping experience Ive ever had. I thought it was a scam because it showed shipped so quickly. I thought there is just no way that it shipped that fast and is legit. I ordered on a friday it was at my house by Tuesday. I almost want to sabotage their rating so I can have their services all to myself but I want them to be successful. Packaging was the best Ive seen used. I ordered 4 bottles 3 of which were oddly shaped instead of using compromising packaging they upgraded the packaging. I will look here first before I order anywhere else.
A gem of a wine shop! Ive ordered a few of their value cases. Its great to have a shop that you can order a miscellaneous case from and know every bottle is going to be super good. Picked up a couple more expensive bottles for an Italian dinner one time also and everyone was really pleased with both.
UPDATE: They are still the best... even though the restaurant has closed, the wine shop is moving full steam ahead. Give them a try if you haven’t before.They have the best of everything. Wines, spirits, stuff and of course a team that knows how to pull it all together for you - just the way you like it. Did I mention the wine clubs? Also the best.
Great selection for online shopping. I bought several bourbons that I couldnt find by me. They shipped it promptly and they packaged with great care. I will continue giving them business.
I was skeptical about using this company for some shipped products. A personal email from Peter Andrews eased my concern and opened me up for some of the best customer service I’ve ever encountered. All items shipped were superbly packaged. Not a chance for damage. The follow up and communication was top notch. Do yourself a favor and give Prima Vini a chance.
Great knowledge. Reasonably priced. Passionate employees. They have never steered me wrong in my over 25 years of wine enjoyment. Love this place
Small selection of spirits in comparison to their wine, but what they have is special and often hard to find. Good service as well.
Exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful staff. Peter Andrews is anxious to educate with absolutely no pretense. I have found that to be typical of the entire Prima team. Comprehensive selection from every significant wine region in the world. If they dont have it in the cellar they have great contacts to track it down. Fair pricing and none of the silliness that comes with pre-arrival futures typical of some large retailers. They either have the wine, know when it will arrive if they do not, or honestly tell you that it is not available in any reasonable time frame. Like that! Bottom line, a wonderful resource if you live in the Bay Area and with free shipping on many shipments regardless of where you live in the US.
Great selection of wine, found some things I was looking for that weren’t in a hundred mile radius of SF. Accurate online inventory.
The friendly and knowledgeable staff at the wine shop helped me pick the perfect selection of Champagne for my wife, something I could never have done properly by myself. I go there for all the important gifts because it makes such a difference. Thank you to the whole team. I also love sitting at the bar and enjoying the red wine flights when I need a break before heading home to the family.
Fantastic selection of wine and incredibly knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great prices too! And dont miss the opportunity to dine at the adjoining restaurant. Terrific Italian food. And consistent - Ive been buying wine, and dining with Prima for many years.
We are so lucky to have this wine store gem in our neighborhood.The varied selection, wine knowledge and friendliness of the staff have provided me with some wonderful unique wines as well as continued education about wines of the world.The newsletter, written by the owner, is a fun and informative way to try new wines and get great buys!
Prima is superb!The selection in the wine shop is outstanding, and the staff is knowledgable and helpful.The restaurant is beautiful, very inviting and comfortable, the food is delicious (save room for dessert!) and the staff is attentive.Always look forward to going to Prima!!!
Love this place and the people who work here. Its a small wine shop staffed by knowledgeable, passionate folks. While the online site is good, being there in person is far better. If youre a wine aficionado you need come check out Prima Vini.
This is our go to local wine shop. The wine selection is great. They specialize in Italian wine but carry plenty of wine from the rest of the world. Their selection of bubblies is great. The staff is very helpful and can direct you to what you want. Their wine tasting events are delicious and fun. We be long to one of their several monthly wine clubs, the Italian wine club and really enjoy the wines. The Prima Vini champagne tasting in early December is fantastic!
Love this place! Staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable! Great range of selections, including terrific affordable choices.
Primas wine selection is unsurpassed! Whether its California, Italy, France or any other wine region on the globe, John and his staff offer the best! Make sure to join their mailing list as the insider specials are amazing.
Any stuffed pasta on the menu here is worth the price of admission! The agnolotti and ravioli are just genius! And the pork chop is a national treasure too. Barolo list is sensational!
Prima Vina Wine shop is my go to for fine wines, as well as everyday wine. The Prima team always has great recommendations, and fun wines you cant find in most places. Highly recommend.
Prima Vini has an amazing selection of wines that are reasonably priced and well worth drinking. The staff is extremely knowledgeable in an unpretentious way, and can guide you to finding gems for good value from all over the world.
Im a Virginia customer and I have to say that it is an absolute pleasure to receive the recommended or curated wines from PV every month. There are so many I had never considered trying that have made it to new house hold favorites. Every order Ive received came with literature on where the flavors are coming from, the vineyards back story, and more. Id recommend this company to the wino you know.
Small but still awesome. I needed to get a few bottles for family members. They were extremely helpful when I needed some questions answered. Thank you for all your help.
Our go-to place for wine. Especially if planning a special meal and need the perfect pairing.
Knowledgeable staff. Good selection. All whites and Rosé available chilled. Nice bonus.
Great selection of well known and boutique wines. A bit on the pricey side for like wines at other retailers.
I had the best Birthday dinner ever. 6 of our closest friends shared an Italian evening with great food & fine wine
Besides having an incredible wine selection, it is the customer service at Primas that continues to amaze me and bring me back. It doesnt matter what my question is or what my need is, all of the staff are knowledgable, personable and always make me feel as if I were the only customer in the shop.
The restauraunt is fantastic, but the wine shop is a gem that should be visited, increable wines from all over the world that are priced from inexpensive value wines to very hard to get wines. The staff is very knoweldgeable when they speak to you they dont just say this is great they tell you what you are going to taste without arrogance. Also the hard liquor is very unique in that there are again very hard to get Bourbons, Scotch etc. there.
Whenever an event calls for something special, we go Prima in Walnut Creek and are never disappointed. From the extensive wine list and tantalizing Italian fare to the personal, yet efficient service, Prima makes every meal a memorable dining experience. Our friends and family are always impressed by the unforgettable meal enjoyed at Prima. There is no better place in the East Bay for authentic Italian food and elegant wines.The sommeliers are experienced and offer great suggestions for wine pairings. The wait staff describe the specials in such exquisite detail that it is often difficult to choose just one thing. With a variety of rooms, the ambience is inviting and encourages you to linger long into the night. Even when we dont have time to linger, hors doeuvres and wine at the bar make any evening wonderful. Once you try Prima, you will return time and time again.
In our digital age of corporate chains and on-demand everything, the level of service and personality of prima and their knowledgable staff is a breath of fresh air. To have a local, independent wine-shop with the selection and prices to compete with the big boys is rare and were all so lucky to be able to support stores like prima where the experience goes far beyond a mere transaction.
Great store, great restaurant, cute street, awesome quality.I wish there was an operation like Prima Vini in Downtown Los Angeles.
A great selection of wines (emphasis on Italian wines) at good prices, and coupled with exceptional Italian cooking - you cant go wrong!
Prima for me is THE EXAMPLE of great hospitality and absolute passion for wine and great people...
Best staff and wines in the area. Cheers to Prima!
Our favorite Italian restaurant and wine shop for the 25+ years weve lived here!
Outstanding best wine shop in Calif
I love these guys.
Best wine shop in the Bay Area!
It is always a safe select and a shop that offers delicious wines. And the correspondence is appropriate and satisfied. I have my wine delivered to Japan, but there is no problem with the same feeling as in Japan takkyubin.
