Super cute place! We signed up for a free wine tasting! It was held in the evening and completely FREE. The shop owner was super nice and friendly, brought us out little cups of soup as it was was cold outside and wanted to warm us up. Then took us to the back room and we had free wine tastings for the evening plus other free nibbles. Really cute little venue for a wine tasting, in like an old Victorian house. During the day they make nice sandwiches and soups and sell wine & other things. Get on their wine tasting emailing list for sure!
