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
