Every Wednesday, April 2- October 22, 2025

Every Wednesday, we offer 50% off wine by the bottle, featured wines, special small plates, and live music on the patio from 6p to 8p!

Chapel Hill’s mid-week social, complete with mingling, sipping, and beautiful NC weather is here for its 9th year! Wine Down Wednesday is 5p to 8p, with live music on the patio (weather permitting) 6-8p. We don’t take reservations and we often fill up, so we recommend arriving by 5:30p to get a table (or bring your own chairs!).

Our patio is kid-friendly and dog-friendly, so bring the whole crew! Small plates, gelato, and sorbetto are available for order in addition to wine and beer.

In addition to our regular wine list, we also offer new featured wines each week.

To those who enjoy our bands by sitting across the street on the Green: we’re thrilled you enjoy our event and are so glad to have you! You are welcome to purchase food, unopened beer, and wine by the bottle (guests cannot take open containers off our property) and we encourage you to support the event and the bands so we can continue to pay musicians and host this event for years to come.
