About
Look, we know what it's like.You're a little older now and your palette has evolved from throwing back shots until you vomit, to sipping on good wine. Bars & Clubs are no
longer an option because the wine sucks and you don't want to be "that old guy" or "gal". Wine bars aren't an option because "party" is still part of your vocabulary and
you don't want to necessarily put on a tweed jacket and brush up on your wine vocabulary before going out. We wanted a place where we could relax, talk it up with some
friends, and maybe meet some new people…all with a good drink in hand.
We looked high and low and couldn't find this social sanctuary, so we built it. In doing so, we had to ask ourselves, what do we know about wine? The response was simple,
two things, 1) we like good quality wine and 2) we like to drink it, as opposed to sniffing, swirling, staring and describing it with funny words.
Our Philosophy
Have a good time. Isn't that why you go to a bar? We've created an atmosphere where you can simply come in and hang out for as long as you
want, or until the bartender kicks you out.
No BS. Our wines are good, really good. (We sampled over 200 wines in the region to narrow it down.) We are NOT, however, your typical wine
bar. Our slogan is "wine without attitude" and it's something we live by, so you will never feel intimidated or stupid!
Meet new people. Our space is not by any means the Taj Mahal. Think beer garden with wine. In other words, while everyone has their own
space, you are in close proximity to others, so feel free to strike up a conversation with a stranger.
Good food. One thing that can't be denied is the magic between wine and food. We acknowledge and respect that. We won't tell you how good we
think our food is, we'll let the reviews speak for themselves.
Taste is subjective. To hell with the experts, if you like it, you like it. How can someone tell you what you do/don't like? It's your taste
buds, let them decide on their own!
Great location
Located in the heart of Downtown San Jose, at the end of the restaurant district on San Pedro Square
(corner of St. John), Vino Vino is the cure for the common wine bar. Our famous tap system pumps out 13 wines by the glass, all at the same price.
We also feature over 30 in the bottle from local Santa Cruz Mountain and Santa Clara Valley Wineries, along with half a dozen local beers.
