Sovino Wine Bar & Merchant

Very civilised and fantastic service.

Great wine, great atmosphere, great staff! I absolutely love it here and so does my dog. Extremely dog friendly, very laid back and fantastic wine. My boyfriend and I stopped by on our little trip and we’ll absolutely be coming again. My in laws met us here and didn’t want to leave. We’ll be taking some bottle home to ride us over, but can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful wine and service!

We stayed at the Portola hotel and came in for a good glass of vino. The server/Owner was wonderful and the space is really neat. We went back the second night because we loved the service and good atmosphere! Only place we went to twice on our trip! Highly recommend!!
PS-the Jesus wine was absolutely fantastic;-)

Fun place for trivia.

Don’t come here unless you want to get robbed. I came in on a day where not one person was here so keep in mind it wasn’t busy at all, got one glass of wine to sit outside, study, and enjoy the weather. My total came to 12$ and some change, and I wrote that in the total on the receipt very clearly. But somehow when I checked my credit card statement I was charged $25.13… it was not just a random hold charge, why was the charge not an even number? And the money did come out of my account on my end, that has never ever happened to me as a hold charge anywhere else that I have been. So I called and the “manager” seemed very overly flustered and guilty on the phone when I told her what had happened and kept saying I dont know how that happened, it has never happened before, blah blah blah when this was very clearly on purpose. It was overall just a really weird experience and I recommend walking the 20 feet down to the other wine place who has way better customer service and wont rob you!

Great atmosphere to share some wine and light snacks with friends, cozy and quiet spot in downtown

Two girls at the bar ignored us when we walked in until we asked if we could sit anywhere, got told yes, thirty seconds later a very curt dude asks us to move to a much smaller, uncomfortable table with less comfortable chairs to make room for a trivia party that wasn’t starting for 40 more minutes it was off-putting at best, and downright asinine in reality. Puma Road a ten second walk away made for a much better choice to spend our night.
