As many of you may know, we just recently announced that after almost 13 years in business, the Powell Village Winery has decided to transition from a day-to-day winery, to a wine-focused private event space. Trust me, this decision did not come easily. I have been thinking about it for a very, very long time. The thing is, I’m in love with this winery, this space, and in order for me to continue this little love affair I have with the Powell Village Winery, I need to evolve, just like with any long term relationship. So, that’s where we are today…..an evolved relationship.
I have been here for 12 of the 13 years, originally as a manager, and then as an owner. I knew this place was meant for me the moment I took that first step into the tasting room. And then, when my father suddenly passed away, I took a giant step out of a pretty deep depression, dusted myself off & purchased it as my own. Needless to say, this winery has been my savior in more ways than one. All of the staff, coworkers, guests, and friends that have been created over the years, has truly made my life richer. I have grown close to people 25 years older than me, 25 years younger than me, people of different backgrounds, beliefs, careers, etc. I wouldn’t have had that without this winery. And boy, have I learned A LOT….heck, I’m still learning about being a business owner every single day.
So, what does this new endeavor look like?
-Well, we are now available 7 days a week for your private events….be it a company meeting or luncheon, holiday parties, guest speakers, networking events, bridal & baby showers, neighborhood book club….the options are endless. Just go to our website for detailed info.
-We will be open for holiday retail hours starting Nov. 7 - Dec. 22….Thursdays and Fridays 4-8pm, and Saturdays and Sundays 12-5pm.
-We will still have online ordering available and free delivery…..so you can still get your PVW wine fix.
-We will still have our PVW Wine Club, and will be adding a new “Book & a Bottle” Wine Club.
-We will start pre-selling our 12 days of Christmas Jingle Balls wine, next Wednesday, Oct. 23. We will offer free delivery within a 12 mile radius, and pick-up during our retail hours.
-And in the near future, we will have surprise open hours for drinking wine, guest speakers, book club, music, and pop ups. So stay tuned.
From the very very bottom of my heart….thank you for making my life incredibly awesome, full, crazy, happy, insane….I seriously never expected to be given such a special gift as the Powell Village Winery, and for that, I am forever grateful. See you soon…..cheers!
