Find a Good Bottle of Wine in Vancouver at Legacy

Whether your preference is red, white, sparkling or something in between you’re sure to find something to tickle your fancy at Legacy Liquor Store in the Olympic Village in False Creek.

There are more than a few reasons to check out Legacy Liquor Store. The high ceilings, the attention to detail and the ambiance are but a few. More importantly, the staff are knowledgeable and eager to help, but never pushy. I never get the feeling I’m underdressed or my lack of knowledge is a hindrance to getting excellent service. I don’t know a lot about wine, and I never get the impression the sommeliers on staff are anything less than eager to share their passion for wine.
