Man, I don't know how you can't rate this place less than five stars. And honestly, it's 100% due to the staff/owners here.
If you are a pro, slightly experienced, or complete rookie when it comes to beer or wine brewing the staff here will enthusiastically engage, talk, help, and just go out of their way to get you going. From most of the local Sioux Falls breweries that are big names and known across the country to the small pots going in homes across the area, most of them have probably either started or ended up here.
If you come, show interest and support them with some purchases you will not only find a resource for instruction and help, but most likely a friend if you hang out...

I recently went there and purchased an entire wine fermenting set-up and the owner and the other guy that were working in there, were absolutely exceptional in helping me get everything i needed to do it RIGHT.

I highly recommend Stines and Vines to anyone who is interested in wine and beer making. I will definetley be back there to purchase any of my wine and beer...

I'll be back again and I'll look forward to paying the man in cash and saving him that credit card fee. Go on in and meet the man, Russ, and see how he can...
