Liquor Stores near West Brattleboro, VT

“The store in front may be open however the Redemption Center out back has different hours. I took a photo just incase they are not listed under the stores listing. These hours took effect last year(2022) including days they are open and holidays they observe.”

“My bride and I stopped in this weekend on one of our serendipity drives. We had stopped at the Retreat Farm Market for some cheese tastings and the conversation turned to wine pairings. One of the service people suggested some great choices. She was exceptionally knowledgeable about wine having lived most of her life in Oregon. She encouraged us to take a 15 minute drive north to this shop. Serendipity is such a wonderful thing. This shop was amazing. Not so much for the selection. Though it is extensive. But for the owners who quite simply are incredible. We visit wineries and vineyards often. It's one of our favorite things to do. If we are on a road trip enjoying scenic roads and see one we almost always stop. We've met so many interesting people with great knowledge about their wines and willing to share that knowledge. The Green Mountain Wine Shop is a must see if you're ever in the Brattleboro area on scenic route 30 heading north. Their knowledge and willingness to share it is 2nd to none. We live a bit over an hour away but are already looking forward to our next visit. Maybe a stop at the covered bridge on the way and a drive farther north to explore what's there. Charlton Heston once said Sometimes life drops blessings in your lap without your lifting a finger.”

“Windham Wines is certainly worth the visit! It is right off of main roads, so it is easy to get to and well worth the time. We went in with hopes to buy a nice Cabernet, and the owner showed us around the selections with ample knowledge and with really great price values. We will definitely make this a habitual stop on our future trips to Vermont.”

“I’m not sure who the silver fox was who worked Saturday night but he was helpful, hilarious and handsome. Respectfully. Smiles were had by us all. Had us girls giggling. The store was just like any other store but all other staff made it unique!”

“This is a huge wine and spirits outlet. It is an easy off, easy on at Brattleboro exit 3 on I-91. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It has restrooms for that road-trip relief!”

“Pancakes are unbelievable, dinner plate size, with filling whole grains served with whipped salted butter and local maple syrup...great start and excellent for sharing. And did I mention they're inexpensive! All of the breakfast options were great. Must visit... really a quintessential general store”

“This small coop is truly a gem. I initially thought it would be larger, but it certainly isn't. However, it has some fantastic features. They offer a plentiful produce section and a hot and cold food court that serves homemade soups, sandwiches, and a wide variety of dishes. It's a great place to find that something you might have forgotten during your grocery store trip. I particularly love the area; there is a farmers market right outside the establishment during the summertime, where I have bought some great items as well.its definitely worth checking out if you're in the Putney area”

“The Brattleboro Food Co-op is not a grocery store—it’s a commons.

Yes, it is expensive. And that truth deserves to be said plainly. But the cost reflects intention: locally curated goods, ethical sourcing, non-GMO standards, and a refusal to stock products that cut corners at the expense of human health or land. What you buy here is meant to nourish, not simply sell.

The Co-op wears many hats at once. It is an apothecary, with multiple aisles devoted to tinctures, vitamins, herbal remedies, and supplements. It is a full grocery, stocked with Vermont-sourced meats, produce, grains, dairy, and flours worth baking with. It is also a prepared-foods destination—offering a working deli, made-to-order sandwiches, generous grab-and-go options, hot foods, pizza, rotisserie chicken, and fresh seafood handled with care.

For those in a hurry, there are pre-made sandwiches—substantial, thoughtfully assembled, often on rye or sourdough—that don’t feel like an afterthought. Refrigerated cases nearby hold an ever-changing selection of drinks and curiosities: bottled teas, functional beverages, cold brews, juices, and the kind of oddities that reward curiosity rather than brand loyalty.

And then there’s the whimsy. Ethically sourced hand and finger puppets hang from a tree like small emissaries of joy—playful, unnecessary, and somehow essential. It’s the kind of detail that reminds you this place is human before it is commercial.

Membership is modest, paired with a small commitment to community service. What you spend here does not vanish into abstraction—it circulates back into the local economy, the growers, the makers, and the people who keep the doors open.

I come here regularly—for kefir, flour, vegetables, supplements, and the simple assurance that what I’m eating will leave me feeling better, not dulled or depleted. Walking through the Brattleboro Food Co-op feels like stepping into its own ecosystem: intentional, alive, and quietly reassuring.

You will spend more.
You will also leave knowing exactly why.

A genuine gift to the community.”
