The Culver City store, at approximately 24,000 sq.ft., holds over 8,000 wines, 4,500 distilled spirits and 2,500 beers at all price points. The Culver City location includes a climate-controlled wine cellar for high end wines and carries a full selection of glassware, gifts, and a walk-in humidor for fine cigars. 

Our store team members are the most knowledgeable in the business and participate in extensive education and training on wine, spirits, and beers. Total Wine & More team members' training includes weekly, monthly, and quarterly classes.  In addition, annual regional and international education trips are sponsored by Total Wine & More for its wine and spirits store team members.

The new store features the latest version of the Total Wine & More Wine Education Center, dedicated classroom space in which the stores' category specialists and certified wine, spirits and beer professionals offer a series of consumer education classes and special tasting events with master winemakers, distillers, and brewers.
 

When the classroom is not in use for store purposes or other bookings, the wi-fi and high-tech video-enabled classroom is made available, at no charge, to local civic, business, and community groups for their meetings and events. 

Total Wine & More is committed to the communities it serves. The new Culver City Store will celebrate its grand opening by partnering Culver City Education Foundation, the first of many community non-profits that the store will partner.
