Unexpected Goodbye: The Wine Café Hits the Market

I think it’s safe to say, the community was shocked this week. This week, a surprise Facebook post began circulating, announcing that the beloved Wine Café is now listed for sale. Scrolling through the comment section, you’ll find several crying emojis and that sentiment seems to be shared. Several other commenters reminsiced about past events held at the Wine Café.

Anyone familiar with the local scene, the Wine Café has been a go-to spot for a plethora of weekly in-person events. Whether it’s trivia nights, craft sessions, lively games, or captivating live performances, the Wine Café has carved its niche as a social hub with an ever-packed calendar. 

The news was affirmed on their official Facebook page, stating, “We would like more time to travel but have greatly enjoyed your support the past seven years.” Owning a business, especially food and beverage is no easy feat. Their dedicated team deserves to be recognized for creating a true community staple over the last several years.

As the owners step into a well-deserved retirement, I am looking forward to the fresh perspective and energy that will hopefully be brought under new ownership. In the meantime, I encourage everyone to continue supporting the Wine Café and all of our local businesses throughout the holiday season and beyond.
