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 a large selection of international and domestic wines, with a large focus on getting you the things you can’t get just anywhere. As far as the bar goes, we have offer wine flights daily, wines by the glass or bottle, choices rotate often, and over 30 canned beers/ciders.

We are also known for our fun selection of Internationally themed Charcuterie Board. CUSTOM CHARCUTERIE BOARDS AVAILABLE!

Did you know that Desirae also creates custom charcuterie boards to go!!?? Well, if you are hosting a party, giving a gift, need something for an office gathering....click here

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!
