A "Life of Wine"
Making wine accessible to all through "Educational Retail"
'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 37.
Vino Vitae is your "Neighborhood" Gourmet Wine Shop around the corner. We are located in historic Lafayette Square, offering another reason to live in one of the best St. Louis city neighborhoods.
Our focus is wine education, in-home wine parties, monthly regional focus and wine dinners, varietal comparisons as well as our wine club and annual charity fundraiser. We believe an understanding of wine should be accessible to all. Come and see what we mean by "Educational Retail".
We provide catered wine dinners for all budgets and would love to arrange an event for your next corporate, personal event or holiday party. Take home your favorite wine, spirit or beer or spend your afternoon/evening and enjoy a glass around our cozy bar or relax at one of our tables on the patio.
We are a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. Let us be your guide as you discover the world of wine and learn something new. Join many of our regular guests and meet someone new at our weekly wine socials.
We carry wines from coast to coast as well as around the globe from Peter Weygandt, Terry Theise, Jorge Ordonez and more. We also offer a selection of spirits and beer and can arrange a custom order of all your favorites and deliver them to your door for your next event. Schedule your next private corporate or in-home winetasting, sign up for an intimate class or discover something new. Let us know how we can exceed your needs.
