Oh Little Vine, how I love you let me count the ways.
In all seriousness this place is an absolute neighborhood gem! Wide price range of wines most $ 20+ but you can find some great finds for below that.
I moved here in June, before going to the Ferry Building, Little Vine introduced me to my obsession with Acme Bread, their locally produced Mozerella (be warned sells out quickly), and the glory of Cow Girl creamery.
Everyone here is so knowledgable and learns both you and your dog quickly, if you’re lucky you might get a tasting of an open bottle of wine and a slice of Procuitto.

I love spending time (and $$) at this fun, cute little store. If you’re in the area, you should check it out. They offer unlimited cheese tastings, have a great wine selection, and have many other options for you to chose from. I purchased some of the best pork chops I’ve ever cooked from this place. Cheeses are super yummy, service is great. People are very friendly. I love picking up something new to try (last time it was black truffle salt, which is fun to season with). Great gem on Grant Avenue.

Great little shop with employees that know what they’re talking about. Happy to have this in the neighborhood — and they have great truffle butter, too.

Love the duck moose! Remember to call to reserve as this store doesn’t have it all the time; even if it does, duck moose is gone very fast. A great neighborhood store.

So today I stumbled upon this place due to the fact that I was waiting to get a haircut and needed a quick but tasty bite. The Saturday special was the prosciutto sandwich, which had prosciutto, burrata, arugola and marmelade. First of all I’m not a big fan of an Italian sandwich with marmalade due to the fact that it’s not traditional. However this Italy meets France sandwich was amazing, the burrata and marmalade went so well together which I didn’t expect, the bread was fresh and soft unlike molinari and the prosciutto was fresh and cut to perfection (thinly sliced that is). Yes $ 12 bucks for a sandwich is a bit much I agree, however they use too notch ingredients and to me it was worth every penny. This was by far one of the best sandwiches I have ever had, perhaps even better than ones I had in Europe.
Well done. I will see you again!!!

Little Vine is a dream. A gourmand’s dream.
I don’t think they could possibly fit anything else in here. The shelves are chock full of epicurean delights. I think I counted 4 different kinds of honey alone. If you want to stock your kitchen w goods that you’ll never find at the likes of any Safeway, this is the place for you.
Salami, cheese, crackers, olives, mustards, jams, nuts, sweets…
Absolutely everything you need to make a stellar picnic or meal.
Maybe you want a sandwich. They’ll take care of that. Acme bread is in the house. Nothing but the best.
And they carry one of my favorite things, nduja. Props.
Don’t forget the wine.
A nice bottle of red that won’t break the bank? You’ve got several to choose from.
A perfect specialty store.
5 stars.

The perfect wine and cheese shop. Thursday wine tastings are a local favorite. Bonus: The store is dog-​friendly so you can stop in before or after hanging out at Washington Square Park.

Vin-​tastic! It is the perfect little spot for all the necessary things in life… wine, cheese, Acme bread and all the accompaniments (even gelato). Reminds me of the shops you find tucked away on a narrow street in Barcelona or Florence. Excellent selection of wine in every price range AND they are all incredibly knowledgeable. Friends coming over, picnic in the park, just need a glass (or two)… I run down the street and grab all that’s needed. Love it!

I’m extremely critical of my sandwiches, perhaps even more suspicious of pre-​made ones. I walked into this amazing store on a whim, asked for a sandwich (apparently pre-​made), and walked out with what was one of the best sandwiches I’ve even had. Spicy turkey, perfectly paired cheese, soft french roll, perfect greens, perfect aioli. It was fan-​tastic!
Absolutely will head back, and, recommend others to it.

Awesome selection of interesting wines under $ 20. Pro-​tip: Ask whoever is working what their favorite is. The employees of this business know whats up.
Ever want goodies from the Ferry Building but don’t feel like making the trek and dealing with the masses? Go here and get your fix of Cow Girl Creamery Red Hawk, Acme bread, burratta, great wine, imported European butter, Mary’s chicken, charcuterie, Castevetrano olives, quince paste, etc, etc.
They carry shallots, canned San Marzanos AND the best ricotta in the hood.
They host complementary wine tasting every Thursday.
This place is yuppie heaven. If you have expendable income and want to treat yo self… just do it at Little Vine.

This place is artisan awesome! (Does that sound snobby? :)) Seriously though, love having this little wine shop in my hood! Great selections and recommendations from staff. Grab a baguette and some vino and head to Washington Square!

As a cheese lover (addict?), I think it may be impossible to live in North Beach without this shop. Seriously, there is no other place to get this quality of cheese within reasonable walking distance. They carry a small, but well-​curated selection and have always been able to make great recommendations when I tell them about another cheese I like. Definitely try the Pico if they have it in stock. Good selection of wine and picnic items too, though the picnic items are all high-​end and can add up quickly. So nice to have this great little shop in the neighborhood!

Super friend staff and very cute shop! My first time in, the guy helped me pick a bottle of very delicious red wine for under $ 20 for my mellow night in. This place would be perfect go-​to for a dinner guest gift or special picnic with quality wine, cheese and snacks.

LOVE THIS SHOP!
I work across the street and it’s rad to see a family owned and operated little shoppe on Grant. I get my coffee here when I can and buy their bicycle coffee by the pound for home. Always have amazing service and their sandwich’s are amazing. I also love buying wine for people’s birthday presents and they definitely have a nice affordable section that’s 20 $ and under. Thanks Little Vine!

adorable little shop on grant up past «house» restaurant (one of my favs!). i’d imagine it’d be hard to find this place unless you happen to be wandering on grant at the shops or lived close by.
i WISH this was my local/​neighborhood grocery/​cheese/​wine/​sweets shop.
they do 1 sandwich special day and on friday it was roast beef and for $ 10 it did not disappoint. love the «locals» feel and the husband and wife duo.
everything in the shop looks amazing, local, artisanal … delicious. i will be back to get my hands on some of the sweet revolution caramels!
what a wonderful find/​gem.

It’s like someone stocked a hyper small selection of all of my favorite things from Cowgirl Cheese to organic milk (in the bottle from Straus no less) to Acme bread. Plus, it’s just a scant few blocks from my house. Perfection.
Now I just have to tame my decidedly first world desire to drop $ 100 on fancy groceries every time I bop in.

Second time to Little Vine I seemed to like it better.
I picked up:
McQuade’s Fig n Ginger Chutney $ 9 — heard it’s good, still unopened.
Heslet Honey the bees/​honey are in SF 7.75oz for $ 15
They have Bundaberg Ginger Beer you can buy — it’s sweet soda with a ginger kick! 170 calories in the glass bottle.

Super impressed with this store in North Beach. The product they have is hyper local… and that makes this little store unique.
I picked up some bickled beets, anchovy paste, and a cute little jar of bay leaves.
They have a small cut to order cheese counter supporting artisinal makers.
Two Tips:
1.) They open at 11am on weekdays
2.) If you are driving there, park as soon as you see a space. It’s North Beach!
