Sunday, May 5th is “Cinco de Mayo!” Though we will NOT be open on Sunday, you can still get your “Cinco de Mayo” fix at Carpe Vino today – Saturday. Tonight from 6-8PM, CV Wine Club Members can taste SIX different agave spirits (Tequila & Mezcal) in the Carpe Vino wine mine. Next to whiskey, agave is the fastest growing segment in the spirits industry and CV has taken a very quiet, but extremely calculated approach to growing our collection of some of these harder-to-find Tequilas and Mezcals. Are you a lover of Tequila and Mezcal? Than you must come Thursday night (no tickets or reservations necessary!
