Dominion Wine and Beer

If you like great beer this is the place to be. The store isn’t that large but it is packed wall to wall with a wide selection of all different types. They have 10 – 12 beers on tap which rotate constantly and are happy to give you a taste of whatever you would like to try before filling your growlers. I like to think of this place as the Organic Butcher of beer, not the biggest selection but a good selection of the best beers around.
The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and have never been disappointed in a recommendation. They often have reps from different breweries come in as well to do special tastings of limited/​seasonal releases. Worth a special trip.

Beer aficionados and Winos rejoice because there’s only one place in Falls church for all your beer and wine needs! This is a one stop shop for the drink lover in your life and the perfect place to find those hard to find gems that will make your friends bow down to your god-​like choices. Seriously, no need for those commercial stores when you can get all you ever wanted in a local option that wants to know your name and help you find exactly what you’re looking for or at least something close to it.
The guys behind the counter will bend over backwards to ensure your experience in their store is personal and enjoyable. Every wall is lined meticulously with all your favorites plus some you may have never heard of; then they go that extra mile to not only provide BA scores but also a little bit of description for some of those tasty bottles eagerly awaiting the grip of your hand. And to top off the already awesome experience, they have a growler station with 10 rotating (maybe more) taps that are available for taste testing and then of course growler fills, say what!?! This is a beer heads Mecca for more reasons than one and if you are in the area, it’s a must visit!

Amazing customer service! We had a party and ended up buying way too much beer. Dominion took what they could back! It was beyond kind, and then they helped me carry my cooler back to the car. This place is wonderful! I will go there for all my wine and beer from now on. Thank you for caring for your customers first and foremost, and for stocking interesting and fun choices!

They also have growler fills now! You can’t beat their price point and they have a wide variety that would satisfy any beer drinker.

I know it’s hard to pass on the selection and convenience of Total Wine, but if you’re looking for a place with knowledgeable staff that can answer any of your questions or just want to shop local while still having a great selection of craft beer and wine, this is the place to go. The new growler station is also a huge plus.
They’ll likely ask you to sign up for their weekly email, if you haven’t done so. Do it. They’ll inform you of the weekly beer and wine tastings (on Friday evenings), where you can sample some highly rated drinks. Occasionally they’ll even have beers that aren’t for sale in VA. As I’m not a wine connoisseur, I can’t speak on behalf or that side, but I can say they’re passionate about craft beer and growing the market for high quality brews in this area. That alone is enough to gain my support.

Outstanding selection of (small batch and limited release) craft beers available in both 12 oz and the larger bottles. Smaller bottles can be mixed and matched into custom 6 packs. They offer craft beers from regional VA, MD, and DC breweries. They have a great deal of product you can’t get in the local grocery stores, if you are looking for a custom/​limited edition selection — go here. They offer high end wines and can put in custom orders for you.

Best place in town! They’re knowledgeable about their products and the customer service is great. Most importantly, the beer selection is second to none. I used to always get my beer at Total Wine but now laugh when I go anywhere but Dominion. Pricing is very competitive as well.
Every Friday and Saturday they do tastings which is a fun way to sample new beers/​wines. I highly recommend Dominion.

I’ve given them a few more tries and I think they are much better. Great selection, good pricing. Glad they are making it, customers and beer lovers.

Awesome spot! They do the best beer tasting you will see anywhere. Everything is fairly priced and if your a craft beer lover, this spot is a must.
There is also a great wine selection. The staff selects a few things that they display in the front of the store. Ive had a great experience with everything I’ve seen there and all at a great price.
Convenient location about 2 miles off the beltway on rt 7. You don’t have to be in the neighborhood to make an excuse to come here.

After driving by this store several times, I decided to give it a try. It’s a relatively small store with a nice selection of wines and craft beer. They have wines from the popular worldwide wine growing areas. They had several wines we were familiar with and like from both French and Italian regions. They also have a great selection of craft beers available in both the 12 oz and the larger 23 – 25 oz bottles. The smaller bottles can be mixed and matched into custom 6 packs. They have craft beers from several of the regional VA, MD, and DC breweries. This is a great store for select wines and craft beers. If your looking for cheap commodity wine or beer, go somewhere else.

Nice little store that I drive all the time, but only recently noticed. I finally decided to stop just to see what they had. Despite this small store, they have a pretty big selection of libations. What they don’t have in terms of quantity, they certainly make up for variety.
If you want wine, go the the right.
If you want beer, go to the left.
A small humidor of cigars is right in the middle.
I honestly didn’t see what was so 5-​star worthy of this place, but definitely worth several more tries.

I’m really glad I found this place. The staff was really welcoming when I came during the middle of a tasting, and even though I was looking for a place to pop into I ended up staying for over an hour talking with the owner and other customers who were regulars.
The store itself is really nice. Very nicely decorated, but not overwhelming. It was easy to navigate and find everything I needed. I was also given a great recommendation for a cheese to complement my purchase which was a big hit. I also learned something about the wine I was looking for and learned something new about it that I hadn’t known before.
Now that I’ve been here, I can’t imagine going anywhere else for wine & beer. Every time I stop in I’m treated like more than just a customer, but someone they actually enjoy seeing and talking to. It’s not often you find that these days!
I HIGHLY recommend stopping in. Best shop in the area, by far.

I love this place! Awesome selection of Craft and hard to find beers, and you can make your own 6 packs. Most of the beers have Beer Advocate ratings which is very helpful due to the wide variety available. The wine selection is also top notch and I haven’t gotten a bad bottle yet. I’ve even bought a few presents here and they’ve all been a hit.
If you like wine and beer, get in here…

Wow!
Well let me just start off by saying I didn’t think it would be possible…
After moving from the sunny and warm West Coast paradise to this blistering cold tundra we all know as NoVA… I was already miserable as hell. I’ve grown used to spoils such as 300+ days of sunshine, beaches, shorts and t-​shirts in February, good wine, tours in Nappa Valley and Sonoma Valley, countless mingles and schmooze sessions with the «wine experts» at these events! Over a period of time… I developed this dainty attitude like I was from France and could teach you everything about wine and cheese (Sorry for the stereotype). I thought I was Paul Giamatti in that movie «Sideways» When in reality, I didn’t know a thing, I was just a good bullsh*tter…People soon defined me as a douchey wine snob… I’d proudly let my pinky stick out with each raise of the glass (some people would call this something else… but that’s besides the point).
Good wine was easily accessible and I took it for granted. These were good times and I never realized how much was missing until I moved. You’d never catch me in a regular grocery store looking at wine… yes… it’s that bad. I thought I was screwed and almost gave up. I almost started ordering online instead, but where the hell is the fun in that right!!!
Then on one absurd cold winter day I saw light at the end of the tunnel. That light had this sign called Dominion Wine and Beer. Curiosity struck and I knew this wasn’t a grocery store. It was a clean breath of fresh air. It’s a nice and tidy place with it’s own personality. I am still overwhelmed by the selection of wine, AND it brought back those sunny flashbacks! There was a variety I thought I would never find on the east coast! It brought back that warmth I was missing. «Kid in a candy store» would be a heavy understatement. People use the term «food porn»… well this is «Wine Porn» ladies and gentlemen. There’s a lot to choose from and I’m excited about every visit knowing I’ll have something of great quality to enjoy in the comfort of my home. Now, since I am a «wine snob» I don’t drink beer, but after taking a look at the selection that was available I may break the code from time to time.
The icing on the cake is the owner and the rest of the staff. He’s very well educated and informative (probably more than a lot of those nappa folks out west), You’d think he was a prodigy of Nappa or Sonoma. And a super chill dude overall. If I do take the beer plunge, I know someone who’ll educate me on what to chose haha!
So wait… I moved back to NoVA with the mindset of «I’ll never find the quality of wine I had in California»…or «It’ll be impossible to meet people with the same caliber of «wine talk and influence»…BAM! JACKPOT! Two birds with one stone! I couldn’t be happier to be proven wrong! As I said in my opening statement: I didn’t think it would be possible
Thank you Dominion Wine and Beer! You guys kick ass and I hope you stay around for a long long time!

Dominion has quickly become one of my go-​to shops for great craft beer & good wines. I’ll make my comparison to their main Falls Church competitor and focus on craft beer. Their selection isn’t as large as Red, White & Bleu, but their prices are often better. I’m more likely to come here when I want a refrigerated six-​pack. Most of their beers are sold cold, but their bomber selection has expanded recently. I can walk to either shop easily, but Dominion is also on my way home from the grocery store. Bonus points for having a logical parking lot.
The few times I’ve been in to look for wine, the staff has been knowledgeable & friendly. The selection runs the gamut from very affordable to more than I’ll ever spend. I appreciate good wine, but I’ll never master it. Most wine shops make me feel belittled for my wine ignorance. That’s not the case here. I’m more likely to come here when I don’t know what to get.

What an awesome little find!
I’ve passed this place a few times on my way home down Leesburg Pike, but never really had a reason to stop in. So glad my husband wanted to check it out! It’s a smaller place, but its packed with some great stuff. A little over half filled w/​wine, and craft beer on the other side.
We went for the beer side. You can make your own 6 pk here as well as take home a 6er of some really great brews. They also sell 22oz bottles (limited selection). AND they have a beer tasting every Fri! We ended up taking home a make your own as well as a 6 pk of one of the brews we’d tasted.
Prices are decent, and the owner is super nice. They apparently also have a couple other locations in MD.
If wine and craft beer is your thing, definitely check this place out.

I love this store. Much more personality than the bigger stores. The staff is very friendly and quick to help. My new weekend stop and shop! Btw, definitely try the feta cheese spread! Its awesome!

If your anything like me, you not only love to drink wine but you like to think you know a little bit about wine too. So of course I was excited when my friend told me a new wine shop was opening in our neighborhood. I am a bit of a snob so I set my expectations high and was pleasantly surprised with the selection. The guy that helped me was very attentive and educated. He helped me pick 3 delicious bottles.
The shop itself is beautiful. A very thoughtful selection of high end chocolates, cheeses, cured meats, pickles and olives. I am not much of a beer drinker but the guy that helped me did recommend a light craft beer that I am thinking of trying next time.
My last comment: When I was shopping at Dominion Wine and Beer a gentleman came in looking for a specific bottle, the shop did not carry it but they said that they could order it for him. Extra brownie points:)

Great little store in Falls Church. Good selection of chocolate, craft beer, decent selection of wine. Owner was very helpful. I’ll be back!!!

Really beautiful store in downtown Falls Church City. Convenient to McLean and Falls Church residents who don’t want to deal with Total Wine or a disappointing grocery store selection.
Fair prices (competitive pricing with larger selection), easy access (directly on Rt. 7), easy parking and a knowledgeable, friendly staff.
Visited several times for the grand opening party and subsequent tasting events– very enjoyable shopping experience and a nice store to spend time in. Personalized attention is appreciated especially with such an impressive selection, too many great options to choose from.
Pictures to follow.
