The Gilded Grape was founded in 2016 on a small strip on Church Avenue between East 7th & East 8th Streets in Kensington, Brooklyn.
Our focus is on New York State wines and spirits and we’re proud to showcase some of the wonderful new energy happening hyper-locally in Brooklyn, as well as offering some of the highest quality wines the state of New York has to offer, from Long Island to the Finger Lakes.
We also aim to provide the highest quality, reasonably priced wines and spirits from all over the world as well. Please join us at various events, whether it’s our weekly tastings, or some of our special events that bring our neighbors together. See our Events Calendar below to keep up to date with the fun!
