Ordering Food at Sauer Grapes

Sauer Grapes is first and foremost a wine shop. I do offer a simple menu of breads, spreads, nuts and unique cheeses but I ask that if you would like your food served in a timely manner, please order ahead of time. This is especially true when there are events taking place at nearby venues. I do my best, but for the most part, I’m a one person operation and it can take me a while to prepare even simple menu items when the shop is busy. So please, help me serve you in a timely manner and email ahead at mariedsauer@gmail.com, let me know how many are in your party and what you would like to order. I hate disappointing my customers and this is the easiest way to make sure everyone is happy with their service! — Marie

HOURS
Monday 3 to 7 pm • Tuesday thru Saturday 3 to 8 pm

 

Tasting Cancellations

If you have registered but are unable to attend a wine tasting, please notify us ASAP and your cost for the tasting will be refunded. But when food (beyond simple cheese and bread) is included with a wine tasting, cancellations within 48 hours of the tasting will incur a charge to cover the food cost. — Marie

I’m going to try this for the next two months or so and if they are popular, Trivia and Music Bingo Nights might become permanent monthly events here at Sauer Grapes.

Trivia Night

Ready to groove? Our lively host will play snippets of songs, and you’ll mark them off on your bingo card. It’s a fantastic way to unwind and test your musical knowledge.

Both Trivia and Music Bingo Nights are free to attend, and we’ll have great prizes for the winners!

It’s going to be a lot of fun, hope to see you here!
