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.

PRODUCT

We carry bottles no one else does.

Rare, vintage, and left-of-center local - we pride ourselves on stocking and supporting the best small artisan winemakers, brewers, distillers, and producers. 

We have cultivated strong relationships with our extensive network of vendors, allowing us to source products that are hard to find elsewhere. Looking for something specific? Just ask, and we'll get right on the case! 

SERVICE

We are incredibly passionate about our customer experience.

We take the time to get to know our customers - preferences, special needs, hobbies, and even families!

Our customer base is as diverse as our selection, and we value each and every person who shops with us. Our warm, knowledgeable team is always here to help you find just what you're looking for - whether it be the perfect pairing for dinner or a new favorite. Your questions and stories are always welcome!

We give back wherever we can - including with our monthly Give-Back Wines which benefit a different local charity each month. Visit our Community page for more information.
