Wine Club at Maple

First Sunday of Every Month
4 - 5 p.m.

Drop in the first Sunday of the month for a meeting of our casual wine club. We’ll open two or three wines from our list (or bring in new wines for the club), arm you with information on the varietals and vineyards, and simply drink and discuss. We’ll keep the cost at $15 - $20. Try pricier wines for a bargain, learn something new about wines and your palate, and make new friends. You’ll get a 15 percent discount on any food orders, too. No reservations required. 

Wine Classes

We host Saturday afternoon wine classes at Maple every other month. Watch this space for details on the next class.
