I absolutely adore Bubbly Side of Life!
I’ve tried a number of their in house events and they are fun. Vicky is a gracious hostess and uplifts other small business by partnering with them for Bubbly’s workshops and even a pop up market. She has a great knowledge for all bubbly delights. I highly recommend attending one of their events or stop in for a tasting!

This was a fun place to have a tasting experience of sparkling wine and have a enjoyable time learning about the products from the owner, Vicky. Bubbly Side of Life has a large selection of sparkling wines including Champagne, Prosecco, Cava and Cremant. They also have a great selection of sparkling wines to grab and go. We got an explanation of many of the sparkling wines and that made our experience even better! They also have a party room in the back. The store is super cute and we definitely will be back!

Vicki was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable. She made my best friend’s birthday extra special and we just happened to stop by! She was so welcoming and the bubbles were all incredible. It’s my new favorite local shop! This rare place of a gem is an absolute treasure!!!

What a great place! The cozy environment is very welcoming and Vicki has so much knowledge about sparking wine and champagne. I tried my first flight of champagne and found out the different types and how each are made. Very cool!

This place is a true gem. The atmosphere is inviting, the selection is fantastic, and the experience is unlike anything else in town. As a champagne shop dedicated to celebrating life’s special moments, it’s the perfect event venue for all.kinds of occassions.
I had the pleasure of helping Vicki find the perfect space that could bring her vision to life, and share her talent with the community. I am so happy she chose Downtown Downers Grove. Whether you’re toasting to an occasion or just enjoying a sparkling moment, Bubbly Side of Life is the place to be!

I wanted to be excited for this place but I wasn’t. The wine flight was three pours for 18 dollars. Small pours- average I guess. Plastic cups-no glass. Bags of oyster crackers as a palate cleanser. There were no seats because there was a private event in the back- a small one, I’m guessing with relation to the owner being as she was back there most of time. There was no bathroom to use because of this event. They told us to go to a different restaurant. It’s all white walls and fluorescent lights. Just not a cozy vibe like other places nearby. Could’ve been great, but just isn’t there at this point. The server we had was nice and pleasant.

Vicki was so accommodating and generous for a last night minute birthday party. She allowed us to set up in the back room, gave us control of the music and checked in on us during our cocktail hour. I highly recommend the Bubbly Side of Life for a drink or fun gathering spot before a dinner out. Thank you, Vicki!

RUN, don’t walk, to Bubbly Side of Life! Vicki’s shop is bubbly focused, offering thoughtful flight options, glasses, and bottles for purchase. The last time I was in, I purchased a sparkling rose that was SO good!

I’ve been here twice, one for a tasting I was invited to and 1 for a tasting I hosted. Both experiences were excellent! Vicki was very knowledgeable and friendly. The shop has a bunch of great champagne and sparkling wine options that are all reasonably priced. I would highly recommend if you’d like to host an event or pop in for a tasting!
