You can always go to your local liquor store and buy some basic bottles of wine, but why do that when you can check out a fabulous and elegant specialty wine shop?
Most people don’t realize how many top-notch wine stores and shops are in Philly, but I’m here to tell you about my favorites. I rounded up 11 of my favorite little shops to grab a fancy bottle of white or sit and sip on a tasty glass of red.
Many of these places offer more than just wine, so you can buy craft beer or artisan cheese and charcuterie. Some spots even serve food! Check out my list of the best wine shops in Philadelphia below.

Just a few blocks from Philadelphia City Hall and One Liberty Place, this wine store is a lovely place to stop if you’re visiting the city.
This store is all about offering local products, which makes it endearing and special. Whenever I visit a new city, I try to enjoy as many locally sourced things as possible, and Di Bruno Bros. makes it easy in Philly!
They have a delightful “cheese cave” where you can buy mouthwatering blocks of various kinds of cheese. The store also features a wine bar, coffee bar, a meat and seafood selection, a curated wine and beer section, and a gourmet grocery store!
It’s quaint and classy, like a charming little grocery store you might find in a small European village.
The Bottle Shop

Phone: 215-551-5551
Visit Website
You can find The Bottle Shop in East Passyunk near the Singing Fountain off Tasker Street. I love how distinct this store is, and I see it as a funky cross between a fancy bodega and a casual bar.
I know it sounds unusual, and it is! It’s unusually brilliant with beer on tap from local breweries, dazzling wines, twelve packs of the beers you know and love, and everything in between.
My favorite part is you can take stuff to go. The setup makes it appropriate for an intimate evening with someone sipping on foamy beers or you can just pop in grab some craft wine and then head home to enjoy!

Sally is a classic pizza restaurant that also sells bottles of wine! It’s near Schuylkill River Park in Fitler Square on the corner of S 23rd Street and Spruce Street.
I know this list is about the best wine stores in Philadelphia, but you can’t go here without at least trying the pizza too!
Along with their robust and interesting organic wine selection, they also serve sourdough pizza, scrumptious small plates, and more.
The restaurant has an authentic but modern Italian vibe and every employee is welcoming and helpful. I recommend pairing their saucy mushroom and egg red pizza with a bottle of local Pinot Noir!

You can find this shop near the Delaware River bank in the Kensington neighborhood. It’s in a large shopping complex off of E Cumberland Street, so you can do other shopping after visiting the store.
This wine shop has the more traditional liquor store feel but is still an elevated spot with plenty of natural wine bottles and other offerings.
This quirky spot offers everything, including sushi, artisan cheeses, fresh produce, and delicious sandwiches! And, of course, they have a massive wine aisle to satisfy your vino needs.
I recommend checking out their website before going because they often have stellar discounts and digital coupons available.

Jet Wine Bar is located on South Street, a few blocks from Peirce College off South Broad Street.
It’s one of my favorite spots to take friends when they’re in town because the outdoor seating area is relaxing and cute, with fairy lights strung above and faux plants that add some delightful color. And I can bring my dog!
It’s a colorful bar with one-of-a-kind wine offerings. I recommend buying tickets to one of their wine tastings.
I appreciate the wine packs they sell, like the Ancient World Red Wines option, which comes with three bottles: Karasakiz, Ojaleshi, and Merlot-Cabernet Franc.
