Wine Tasting

As you know, wine is something which is best when shared. Exploring new releases, varietals and winemakers is a great way to expand your personal knowledge of wine. At our Friday evening wine tastings, you can accomplish both and have a heck of a good time doing it. The tastings are usually well-stocked with tables full of friends, conversation, and laughter. The tasting is only $5, and you’ll receive 15% off of wine purchases from that night’s selections. How cool is that?

Sunday Night Supper
Sunday, May 28, 6pm
SpringHouse
Sunday Night Supper is a family-style dinner that is slightly different from a normal dinner service, with only one seating time. Doors open for cocktails and mingling at 6:00 pm with food served at 6:30 pm. We will limit these dinners to 80 guests, seated at ten 8-person tables. Our Front of House Manager and Sommelier, Daniel Goslin, will have a small selection of wines chosen exclusively for each dinner, with Scott Burlingame mixing up a tasty seasonal cocktail as well. The cost is $40++ per person (not to include alcohol), and $15++ per person for children under 12. Since family-style dinners are not like a normal dinner service, there will be no traditional dinner menu—instead, the menu will be crafted to include shareable dishes that Chef Rob has hand-selected to make for one delicious dinner.
For reservations, call SpringHouse at 256.215.7080.
