Apricots & Honey is not only your friendly neighborhood wine shop, it is a destination. A source for dinner ideas, a small gathering place where delicious finger foods might be on the menu, a “ladies night” venue,  a place where you might discover a good bedtime book, or perhaps share a cozy evening with a loved one.

Apricots & Honey is a place where people can pick the minds of the knowledgeable staff, introduce themselves to wines from all across the world, meet other wine lovers, take beginning classes in wine education, and network with their neighbors. There will be live music (occasionally), art auctions, and - once Apricots & Honey has planted its roots - wine auctions. 

They have free WiFi, as well as a neighborhood recipe book for you to share your favorite recipes or browse for ideas for a romantic meal or dinner with the family. They are more than happy to assist you in pairing your meals with our great selection of wines. A perfect reason to forget about take-out and to take-in a moment with the ones you love.
