Vine Styles

We did a tasting for my sister’s 40th and it was perfectly curated! Each wine took us on a journey and Nathalie had her maps to guide our pallets through the regions she carefully selected. Coupled with an amazing charcuterie spread, it was a 10/10 tasting experience. I have been a customer for a very long time and don’t plan on going anywhere! Thank you for ten years of amazing wine!

This is my favourite wine store in Calgary. Once you understand what style of wines you like, it’s easy to walk up to your “wall” because literally anything you pick will be something that satisfies your palate. Don’t know what you like? Head over on a Saturday and try 6 wines and discover your style!

Nathalie has done a great job in curating an exceptional wine experience. Her staff is excellent and super friendly, all of them scholars at various levels of Wine Spirit and Education Trust certification. They know what they’re talking about. I have a group of friends that meet every month at the shop for a wine tasting, and every time the wines are top notch.

It’s always my first stop when I go shopping for wine. And usually I don’t need to go anywhere else. I’m delighted and grateful something like this exists in Calgary.

Don't like to use the term "hidden gem" as it's so overused, but it definitely applies in this case. Fabulous service, knowledgeable staff and a great selection of wine. I actually prefer having wines grouped by tasting style rather than geography/country, and the tasting notes beneath each wine were very helpful. The store is truly a bit hidden, but you will be well rewarded if you seek out this exceptional wine market!

Whether you're an oenophile or a newbie to wine, get thee to Vinestyles! Great knowledgable staff that always introduce me to different styles and discover new favourites, they take the time to help you make the right choice. A boutique approach to wine with unique producers along with some stellar liquor and a wall of delicious beers and ciders to choose from. If you've never been, check out their Saturday Style Day tastings and it's also a great spot to host intimate events for teams. A woman-owned business, Nat and her team always make my experience a good one, even though I always leave with more than I came in for, I'm never disappointed. Here are a few of my favourites...

Natalie shared her wealth of Sommelier knowledge on sparkling wines with us at our corporate event. I was very impressed with her enthusiasm and the depth of her experience. It was a very enjoyable event. I loved the selection wines that she shared, and the exceptional cheese pairings. I was also delighted at the partnership Vine Styles have with another Kensington favourite - Peasant Cheese Shop!

A hidden gem in Kensington. Wonderful and uniquely curated selection of wine, spirits and beers. One of the only places in town to find rare favourites such as Harris Gin.

The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. The owner Nathalie runs fantastic tastings and events where you will be sure to find a new wine that you love.

Worth a visit for sure.

One time I was on the phone with my mom (in Winnipeg) when I went into Vine Styles. Natalie greeted me and said "here's a bottle you'll love" (I did). My mom got mad at me because she was like "are you drinking THAT much that the owner knows what you like?" And I said "Noooo don't worry it's just Natalie!" everyone in this shop is so knowledgeable and they have way more non-alcoholic options which is amazing (maybe I was going in there too much... it was the pandemic okay). Absolutely go to Vine Styles for your tasty beverage needs!!

Carefully considered personalized recommendations EVERY SINGLE TIME. From funky varietals I wouldn't have ever heard of, much less tried, to standard, go to grapes from lesser-known wineries...in (nearly) every price range. Tell Nathalie and crew what you like (or don't), what you're cooking, what's the occasion, what's your budget and you will walk out of the store with a bottle (or a case) that you love.

The whole team at Vine Styles is so knowledgable and friendly. Organizing their store by wine “styles” makes it approachable and fun to try new things! One of my favorite places in Kensington

A diverse selection for every preference, at every price point. The least intimidating wine shop in Calgary, with the best staff. The tastings are not to be missed, with a free one every Saturday! Dogs welcome.

I’ve shopped at Vine Styles for many years- from having a wine tasting for my birthday party, to being part of the smart buys club, and ordering wedding gifts for friends. I cannot recommend vine styles highly enough- the organizing of wine by flavour profile is brilliant and makes wine shopping approachable, the staff always have great recommendations and are friendly, and the selection is great. So happy to have them in my neighbourhood!

Stopped by today for a free wine tasting! They have them every Saturday and will be back for sure. They were super loving to our pups and were very friendly. Would recommend stopping by!

Huge fan!!
What Nathalie’s done for wine and wine drinkers is beyond compare! Please come open a VineStyles in Whistler Nat!

Coolest guy ever. You can tell he has a passion for wine and is super talented - on my personal top 5 stores to go to in calgary!

I'm glad to be able to walk to this fabulous wine store in Kensington! All the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. The wines on offer are a carefully curated boutique selection that you would have to work hard to find elsewhere. On Saturday afternoon "Discover Your Style Day" you can taste a selection of wines so that you can buy with confidence, knowing that you will like it! Also, if you're "into " wine, they host a variety of private tastings and functions. I have been to many of these over the years, and always come away happy, having been introduced to yet another amazing wine or two! Nathalie, the owner, does a fantastic job. Somehow she remembers what you like, and skillfully steers you towards new suggestions. I would give this place ten stars if I could, but five is the maximum allowed!

Lovely people to deal with. Super kind, patient and quick to respond. They have a good selection of non alcoholic wines that actually taste like wine! Which was perfectly on time for my husband's birthday getaway. I saw they have fun wine tastings with macarons and other events too. So I'm def signing up for those! Thanks everyone!

Nathalie and her staff are always a pleasure to deal with. I purchase the wine for our gallery events through her as well as am a member of her wine club. Love that I am supporting smaller producers and a local business owner, like myself. My eyes have been opened to so many new and amazing wines outside of those you find at the big box liquor stores.

I've been going to Vine Styles for years and would highly recommend visiting this awesome and well curated wine shop! All of the staff at Vine Styles are extremely knowledgable, friendly and helpful. Everybody goes out of their way to understand your taste and help you pick the right bottle that fits your needs. I especially want to thank Nathalie - thank you for all of your help and wonderful recommendations. I love trying new things, and Nathalie brings in a lot of fun and unique bottles.

Another aspect of the store that I really like is the rotating art that is showcased in the store. Not only can I buy wine, but I have also bought a few cool art pieces as well.

Overall, it's a great hidden gem in Kensington that I highly recommend visiting!

Absolute best wine store. The folks there are passionate about wine and go above and beyond to help customers. Also the Saturday tastings are a great way to discover new wines!

I went in one day looking for 3 different rose’s to do a little tasting with friends and Jen helped me so much and even emailed me some info on each wine and on the rose wine making process! I was truly grateful that she took the time to do that and it made the experience unforgettable!

All the staff at Vine Styles are extremely knowledgable and friendly. Everybody goes out of their way to ensure every client is satisfied.

But I have to give a huge shout out to Nathalie.

She truly has amazing sense of what the client is looking for. I trust her 100%, all the things she’s chosen for me. I’ve been amazing.

Whatever price point, whatever you are trying to pair… She always has the right choice.

I couldn’t recommend this store more strongly,

If you are looking for exceptional wines, and spirit at all price points that served with a friendly smile and outstanding knowledge than this is the place for you. 🍷
