The new owners are doing an excellent job. They are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The previous owners were just as fantastic, so I’m really pleased with the continuity. This place is a wonderful resource for wine in Arcata. The selection is fantastic and keeps getting better every time I visit, and the new layout is very user-friendly.
Naryan, the owner, has invested a lot into making this a comfortable place for his patrons. Always clean and inviting. Great view of the Arcata Plaza. Outstanding wine selection and Naryan is always happy to offer his advice on what would be the perfect bottle for your occasion. Visiting Libation on Saturdays is always the highlight of my week.
Amazing ambience, knowledgeable staff and an owner who gives you the feeling that you have come for years. This is my new spot for a drink in Arcata!
My favorite spot for wine. Before visiting, I thought beer was more fascinating than wine; I realize now I was mistaken. Whenever I ask the owner for a surprise, I've always been pleasantly surprised!
