Hi-Time Wine Cellars Wine Bar Schedule

 

The weekly Hi-Time Tasting programs are on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  The "U-Serve" bar is open daily where customers can taste from a selection of current wines featured in our newsletter for around $1 per taste (self-serve format).  If you are interested in a corporate or private group tasting at our wine bar, please click here for more information. There is no more sharing/splitting of wine tastings. Also: Please refrain from wearing perfume/cologne as it can interfere with one of the key components of wine tasting: the sense of smell! Thanks.
