About us

The Grape Choice is a Wine Store and Wine Bar in Downtown Kirkland. We are a small female owned business with a big personality.

We have been serving the Kirkland Community for 40 years with the largest privately owned wine selection on the eastside. Over the years we have slowly grown into a fun place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine, whether indoors or on our large water view patio.

We have weekly events like wine tastings and live music nights as well as monthly events like wine club release tastings, larger tasting and presale events (like our annual Champagne Tasting & Thanksgiving Tasting), and monthly birthday bashes!

We DO NOT take reservations. We love our casual first come first served atmosphere, we have lots of room, and it’s a great place to make a friend at one of our community style tables!

Looking for an easy gift this holiday season? Give the gift of wine with one of our gift cards!
