Primo Vino opened its doors on March 19^th 2010 and at the time we were the only independently owned wine and spirits shop in Cape Girardeau, MO. We had a lot of people in Southeast Missouri that were into wine but there were only supermarket options, so it was hard to find higher-end bottles. As a result, we started with a focus on fine wine, a small collection of craft beer, and limited spirit selections. 

We have seen quite a few trends over the years and have adapted accordingly. As the craft beer boom started, we soon found ourselves busting at the seams with beer stacked in every corner of the store. Knowing that we needed more space, we took over the suite next to us and expanded our beer and spirits collection in 2016. It was around that time that the bourbon boom was in full swing so we really expanded our bourbon selection and also added a bar. Because of this, we named the expansion Cask Craft Spirits and Beer Lounge.

In the years since our first expansion we have become a place where people come to gather with friends and family, enjoy a cocktail after work, or attend an educational tasting. As seating became a problem, we could see that we once again needed more space. As luck would have it, another suite next to us became available and we jumped at the chance. We knocked down a wall, wrapped our bar around to the other side, and added comfortable couches and chairs to accommodate more guests. We also listened to our customers that they wanted to have some food options. As a result, we serve a small rotating selection of seasonal bar food. I will say that we also serve some of the best cocktails in the area!!

We are not some stuffy wine shop! We are well educated in all aspects of alcohol and we love to chat with people regardless of their knowledge level. Stop by and let us help you pick the perfect product for any occasion!!
