The wine shop has a fun, easy-to-browse vibe that pairs perfectly with shopping and a grabbing a bite next door!

Outside there is cafe seating on the covered porch and additional dining options in the side yard. This setup works well for busy weekends and larger groups, and can flexibly adapt to accommodate pop-up events or dinner parties.
