”Wine makes daily living easier, less hurried, with fewer tensions and more tolerance.” – Benjamin Franklin

Perched on the corner of Green and Polk, Biondivino Wine Boutique specializes in Italian wines with an extensive and diverse selection of international flavors—ranging from iconic French Champagne and rare Swiss blends to Eastern European varietals from Austria, Croatia, and Slovenia. Whether you’re in the mood for a quiet night at home or putting the finishing touches on an important dinner party, the friendly staff at Biondivino promises to introduce the perfect bottles to ensure any evening’s success.

Priding itself on stocking hard-to-find varietals and small-production vintages from Italy previously unavailable in California, this specialty wine boutique’s honed, simplistic elegance is evident in practice as well as appearance. Biondivino’s walls, adorned with hundreds of wine bottles resting on laddered rungs stretching from floor to ceiling, create a chic, yet utilitarian atmosphere around an understated farmhouse table. If the selection alone wasn’t enough, Biondivino also features an eclectic schedule of wine-related happenings like exclusive winemaker tastings.
