Seagrape Wine Company is a pleasure to visit and where I plan to shop next time. Thomas, the owner, is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. My previous go-to wine now has a competitor that Thomas recommended in a similar price point and that is more interesting.

By far the best wine store in Sarasota, if you like a curated wine selection. The knowledgeable staff always suggests the right match with your food or the party you need to bring wine too. They have a great selection of European wines, focused on terroir. The domestic wine selection is also wonderful, if you like that stuff. Their prices are among the best in the US. The shop also looks nice and you can buy really good and well priced Spanish oil. A great place in Sarasota.

One of the things I appreciate about wine is its almost infinite variety. I enjoy being surprised by the flavor of a rare or lesser-known grape, or a wine made using an unusual process in an out-of-the-way place. I don't buy wine by the case because I don't want to have to drink twelve bottles of the same thing.This makes Seagrape an ideal wine store for me. They are constantly bringing in small lots of interesting and reasonably priced wines, and featuring them in an entertaining, informative, and well produced email newsletter. Each week I look forward to reviewing their new featured wines, and I am often inspired to visit the store to pick up one or two bottles.Sometimes I have difficulty choosing which wines to buy, and they are always friendly and helpful, very generous with their time even though I'm just buying a bottle or two. In season they host some modestly-priced dinners where people can sample wine from a featured vineyard.Seagrape is more than a wine store -- it's part of a terrific experience and education in wine as well, owned and run by people who love wine and share that enthusiasm with their customers.

First time stopping in to Seagrape Wine Co. and it most certainly will not be our last. Thomas was so welcoming, and their selection is unlike anything in the area. We are lucky to have such a community-minded place with incredible, hand-produced wines at a very accessible price point.

I called Seagrape last minute on a Friday for a wine delivery for my friends to celebrate them moving to Sarasota. Thomas was so kind, helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. They got my delivery out right away. My experience was above and beyond what you hope it would be. Cannot wait to check them out in person next time we are in town!

Best wine store I've ever been to in my life. These guys are truly passionate about wine, and it shows. Everything they've recommended has been simply stunning. The wines here are so much better than the average stuff sold in most stores.

I’ve gained a greater understanding and appreciation for high quality wines thanks to Seagrape Wine Co. And that doesn’t always come at an expensive price point thanks to the knowledgeable staff and owner. I’m so thankful a community driven and fun wine shop exists in my town. Make sure to participate in their food/wine events which happen regularly. I’ve met so many wonderful people at these gatherings!Highly recommend, I’ve been going here for years and I wouldn’t buy my wine anywhere else.

It's always a pleasure to call in a gift order for my Mom who lives in Sarasota. Thomas and Fred provide exceptional customer service and they are VERY knowledgable about the products they sell. I live in PA and therefore I am subject to State Stores (PALCB) ? I'm looking forward to visiting Seagrape Wine Co. What a gem!

I went on the recommendation of my daughter and her boyfriend to find a hostess gift with a budget of $50-$100. I ended up getting two delicious Italian wines within my budget. The owner was kind enough to give me a quick education on the wine's prevenance. I felt like a valued customer who had been coming for years, not someone new to the area.

We live out of state and needed a bottle of wine delivered to family in Sarasota for a birthday gift. They were wonderful to help me with a selection and set up a delivery for the next day. But to my embarrassment, I gave an old address. When they attempted this delivery and were informed that this person had not lived there for a few years, Seagrape Wine Company quickly called me. I was able to furnish them with the correct address (with many apologies!) and they quickly delivered the wine to the correct place!They could have been very irritated with me since it probably caused a delay and should have accounted for an extra delivery fee. But they went above and beyond to make sure my purchase arrived where it needed to go and without hesitation. Kindness and caring sure came through!It is rare these days to find such great customer service and people who care. Next time I am in Sarasota, I will definitely make a special trip to enjoy their wines in person!Please...make sure you support this great company.... and I am sure some great wines!

I’ve been a regular for a few years already and overall I’m just grateful that a wine shop like this exists. When people are passionate about what they do, it shows, and that’s the case at Seagrape. Some of my best memories in wine are thanks to Seagrape, Tom, and the team. Sarasota’s best wine store, no doubt.

Finally! After three years in S’sota, my search for a good drinking sherry took me into Sea Grape Wine. Thrilled that not only did I find a great selection (also of port) but also benefitted from Thomas’ deep knowledge of his brands and their nuances. Though a busy re-stocking day, Thomas, Fred and the team were welcoming & fun to engage with. Sea Grape is now on my south S’sota route for sure!

Seagrape is a gem. Affordable wines, expert advice and wonderful weekly wine events. Thomas and his team are "top drawer" and ready to help with wines they have in stock or special order for you at the best prices around (including better than I find online).If you want personal and friendly service - this is your place. Tell only your best friends!

Thomas and Fred have been an invaluable source of wine knowledge for myself and my husband. We began to explore and learn about wine during Covid (fun!) and we have been so so fortunate to have found Seagrape! We have never felt snobbiness in the shop and both Thomas and Fred have been so great, giving of their time and their knowledge to help us learn about wines from various regions and to help us hone in on what type of wine we prefer and why. This has helped us with purchasing wines on our travels and when we dine out. The atmosphere is very friendly and casual, you can purchase and sip in the store and chat with the staff and other customers and they have great pop-up food truck and other food events throughout the year. I highly recommend Seagrape to anyone, expert and novice alike! I am writing this as I sip a delicious rosé from the shop! ;)
