Check out our NEW Customer Requests Section
We have many new labels in the shop based on your special beer & wine requests - these are items that you purchased at the Grocery Store
or at places like Costco or Sam's Club.  It turns out that our prices are very close or better than what our customers were paying at the other
stores - especially if they are in our Wine Club!

So keep the requests coming and stop in to check out our new "Customer Requests Section!"

And remember, if you are searching for certain wines, we can easily order most wines for you!

New to our e-newsletter?   Here are some of our services and events to look into!
Did you know…?
We actually do have a daily Happy Hour – we call it “Happy Bottles”… because whenever you come in, you can enjoy a select group of wines
for 20% off regular price for 1oz, flight size or glass pours!  The list changes daily - so you’re not stuck with the same flavors everyday!  

Plus – our regular glass prices are like other restaurant happy hour prices!!!  Did you know that we only charge $5.75 for a glass of 14 Hands
Chardonnay, Riesling, Merlot or Cabernet – when other restaurants charge anywhere from $7 to $10!?  You get a better wine for your money
at The Grape Adventure!

People have asked us why we don’t have half off bottles on certain nights of the week… well… Using 14 Hands wine again, we would regularly
charge $18.99 a bottle (you may have seen it for $25-$35 at other restaurants) and if you’re a Wine Club Member, you only pay retail…
$10.99!!!  No $8 corkage fee!  WOW!!  Restaurants typically include their $25-$75 corkage fee in the price listed on their wine menus... so
help us spread the word!!!
