We have a lot of places to buy wine in Petaluma, so I was really surprised that yet another wine shop would be opening up in downtown. After frequenting the shop several times, I've come to really enjoy their selection. Their proprietor, Damien, is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about wine. The selection in the store isn't vast, but there's a focus on smaller producers you're unlikely to see at other shops in or out of town. In the past 18 months, we've purchased over 30 bottles from Avinage - some from regions and/or of styles we know we enjoy, but many others simply on Damien's recommendation. Of the bottles we've opened and enjoyed, every single one has been great! When we've brought wines from Avinage to dinners, we're always complimented on "our" selection.Additionally, you'll find wines of all price ranges, from under $20 to over $200+ from everywhere around the world, including local, small producers. Whether you're looking for a bottle to lay down and age or one to enjoy right away, you're guaranteed to find something great at Avinage.Lastly, they've recently been hosting FREE instructional tastings where you can meet the importer/distributor/winemaker and taste some of their recent offerings. Do yourself a favor and get on their mailing list or follow them on Instagram to find out when the tastings are happening!One tip - parking in front of the store is quite challenging so skip that and park on the street around the corner on 4th St/B St, near the hardware store. It's a 2 minute walk and there's generally plenty of street parking.

Cool wine shop in downtown Petaluma that specializes in small production wines from around the world. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Price points for all levels. The day I was there, the shop had a wine tasting and a record sale! There are also non-alcoholic options available for purchase. I'll surely be back!

We were in Petaluma for the night and stopped in Avinage to see their wine selection. They had exactly what we wanted! Nice variety of choices and the staff was helpful.

I love Avinage! Damien's selection of wines is well-curated, unique and always delicious. I know that whatever I walk out of there with will be high quality and excellent. Plus, the design is such a welcome modern, minimalist addition to DT Petaluma. So happy Avinage is here!

Definitely come here if you're into wine. Fun wines that are somm favorites and interesting local producers. I picked up local Pinot and French rose and the owner showed me a great Sonoma cab that was aged a bit and ready to drink. Great spot!

This place is great! I wish I'd known about it sooner. Spacious, but with a fabulous, diverse wine selection and a healthy selection of exotic liquers. The staff was super helpful, the prices were reasonable. I'll definitely be back!

As has been mentioned, Petaluma has been sorely in need of a quality wine shop and this fulfills that need and then some. Damien has excellent selections to choose from, whether it’s supporting small labels, sustainable practices, unusual varieties, or just plain old great values. We couldn’t be happier for this great addition to our town!
