Archives Wine & Spirit Merchants

Great wine selection and helpful staff. Enjoyed a delicious charcuterie board with local meat and cheese. The fresh made pasta is a must try too.

Despite the fact that I've lived in St Catharines my entire life, I've never been to Archive Wines, and I'm so glad I fixed that today! It was an absolute delight; the decor is gorgeous, it was awesome meeting new people, and even better learning more about local businesses. I did a tasting today with Margherita (I apologize if I mispelled your name) from Fred's Wines and had a great time! It's a great space, and a wonderful opportunity to explore more independent wineries in the region. 100% recommend to those who want to do a wine tasting without going all the way to NOTL

After so many friends and family recommendations I finally had the Archives experience for myself. First off I can’t believe I waited so long. I went in to purchase some wine and ended up having the most amazing 2 hour experience. My thanks to Douglas who help us pick the best wines for us and was incredibly welcoming to the store. If you get a chance it’s worth a visit.

Archives is a great little shop in downtown St. Catharines. Good selection of local wines (some exclusive to the shop!) with great service from owner, Robbie. Robbie knows his wine and is happy to walk you through his selection and give recommendations. I also appreciate that he highlights new up and coming wineries and hosts winemaker-led tastings. 10/10 will come back here!

Amazing little wine shop!!!!! The owner is amazingly knowledgeable and friendly. We had an amazing time doing a tasting with him through Somm and picked up a delicious wine for home. Will definitely be back when we’re in the area!
