About us

The STORY

Barrington had long been Rhode Island’s last ‘dry town’, but that all changed in November 2011. Lifelong resident and wine enthusiast, Matthew Amaral finally decided to end the prohibition, and Grapes & Grains was opened in March of the following year.

Matt did not want to open just any bottle shop - Grapes & Grains has a focus on customer service and quality products outside of the mainstream. Whether it is from the smallest local craft breweries, exclusive estate vineyards, or limited production micro-distilleries, our buyers seek out the best of the best.

We hope you will stop in and see what sets Grapes & Grains apart.
