Experience the Difference of Naturally Good Wine.

Gist Wine Shop isn’t just another wine store – it’s a movement. As the only natural wine shop in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, we’re redefining how the community experiences wine.

Natural wine celebrates authenticity, sustainability, and craftsmanship. At Gist, we carefully curate our selection to feature wines made with minimal intervention, organic or biodynamic practices, and the purest expression of the vineyard. Every bottle tells a story – of the land, the grapes, and the passionate winemakers behind them.

Whether you’re a natural wine aficionado or just beginning your journey, Gist is here to guide you. Our knowledgeable staff is dedicated to helping you discover wines that excite your palate and deepen your appreciation for this art form.

More than a shop, Gist is a hub for wine lovers – a place to explore, connect, and celebrate the magic of natural wine. Step into our world and taste the difference.
