More than a wine store! I may have found where the Christmas Spirit starts and spreads from in this store. Trees, wine, decor, and more around Christmas. This is a browsing store, not just a grab a bottle of good wine and run store. I was up and down the display aisles checking out all the goodies for easily 30 minutes before I realized the time that had passed. Bought a couple good bottles of vino. Was excited to see there's a regular wine tasting posted and it is my understanding it is very well attended.

My friends and I were looking for something different to do and we found Wine tasting bingo! The place is nice and quaint. We had a blast! The wine was fabulous and so was the owner.

The gifts and wines here are unique. There is always new inventory to check out. The weekly wine tasting and other in-store events are a highlight and allow you to learn about wine, connect with the staff, and meet other patrons. If you are looking for wine in Woodstock don't go anywhere else.

The store is cute on the inside with lots of wine and various holiday items. While shopping inside, the only employee was outside smoking a cigarette. We had to ask him to come inside to ring us out. The worker would not say total after asking numerous times. Unfortunately, this was not a good customer service experience.

I have been coming here on and off since before. The tastings are always a huge value, especially in these small batch rarities you would not otherwise experience. The owners and their fam is always onsite and on point, pouring kindness and joy. The regulars are awesome humans from all over the world, everyone is so fantastic. All the wines are fantastic as the owners test and vet each fortunate enough to land in their store.

While taking my dogs to the grooming shop next door, I had an urgent need for a bathroom. The owner of the grooming salon curtly told me to "go find a public toilet". Thank God for the kindness of the owner of the Gifted Ferret who graciously welcomed me into his store and let me use the restroom.Just. In Time.Canine Chic has lost a decades old customer but the Gifted Ferret has found a new customer for life. Kindness - it's a wonderful thing. Thank you so very much.

My husband and I always prefer to shop local so we were thrilled when we came across this establishment thanks to a friend. I wish I could express how wonderful the proprietors at The Gifted Ferret are. They immediately make you feel welcome and are truly a place for all. They are extremely knowledgeable about the products they carry and will take the time to make sure you leave happy. The environment is warm and even the people we've met who frequent their store have been lovely. Most importantly though, the owners are beyond kind and gracious. We found ourselves in a bit of an unexpected predicament at closing time and they patiently and without complaint or hesitation stepped up to help while we had to replace a dead battery in our car. There are not enough local businesses to shop at anymore but there are even fewer people of their caliber just in every day life. Take the time to visit this quaint and joyful business. You will not regret it.

I visited the store last night for the first time and had a wonderful experience with their Saturday night tasting. I highly recommend it.

This is such a fun shop. Kevin and co were great hosts during the wine tasting. Left with some more wine knowledge, fun story about how the shop got its name, and some excellent wines. Highly recommend coming to the wine tasting. They say that they will soon bring back the wine tastings with puppies! Covid adaptations: With the new CDC mask guidance, if you show your vaccine card (and you're fully vaccinated), they will give you VIP wrist bands so that you do not have to wear your mask indoors. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.

The most fabulous gift shop in Woodstock. The owner was so incredibly friendly, and not only went above and beyond to make my boyfriend and I feel like more like friends, but we stayed for a couple hours chatting about everything under the sun. Also, so many fun trinkets and wines that you will not find anywhere else. The atmosphere and shopping experience was outstanding. 10/5 stars.

If you enjoyed the Ferret's Saturday night wine tastings pre-COVID, don't give up on them now. Small businesses are hit hard by the pandemic and the Gifted Ferret is open and ready to serve. They're still receiving shipments of excellent and well-priced wine, in addition to a variety of gift items. As anyone knows who's been to the shop, the proprietors, Kevin and Vinny are as nice as nice can be. The other day Vinny texted me photos of recent imports that he thought I'd like. (We stopped by, and he was right!) If you're COVID compliant, know that the store is too. Staff and patrons are masked, surfaces sanitized and a lucite shield is up to protect you when checking out. In addition, they use UVC germicidal lamps at night for extra protection. While it's not yet safe to resume their signature and party-like tastings, plans are in the works for different events, notably outdoor movie nights. Parking is easy and credit cards are accepted. Like always their "wine lovers loyalty club" is in effect: a free bottle -- maximum value $19.95 -- with every twelve bottles purchased.
