Durham; directions will be given at ticket purchase

(Rain date: Sunday, July 27th: 4:00-6:00pm)

Fall down the rabbit hole with us! Explore the fantastical world of Alice in Wonderland and immerse yourself in its imagery & lore in the summery magic of Nikaline's gardens in Durham. Think whimsical tea cakes, cocktails, flamingo croquet... If this makes you "curiouser and curiouser," join us!

Join Nikaline and the folks at Little Ridge Farm for a class exploring the versatile world of pesto! Pesto alla Genovese (basil and pine nuts) is the most well known example, but the buck doesn’t stop there! We like to think of pesto as a template, allowing for infinite variations that account for personal preference and ingredient availability. Utilizing farmed and foraged ingredients from Little Ridge, you’ll explore the template, learn the essentials and make your very own custom pesto to take home!

Workshop is $45 per person which includes instruction, a sampling of pestos and other assorted snacks, and your very own pesto creation. Drinks will be available for purchase a la carte.

What better topic to explore in the iconic and historic Art and Architecture room of the 1904 building at the Curtis Memorial Library? That’s right, we will be teaching this class AT the library!!! The martini is surely the most mentioned cocktail in classic literature, and also likely the most imbibed cocktail by the authors themselves.  From the classic Vesper martini of James Bond in Casino Royale to the White Angel in Breakfast at Tiffanys, we’ve got a lot of material to unpack here!

Join us as we recreate classic martini recipes, and hone in on what your perfect martini might be, all while eating some tasty snacks and sipping on your creations -  in the LIBRARY! 

$65 per person!  Limited space available! Call the Vine to sign up.

House Favorites! From time to time, we like to do an in house tasting where we focus on some of our favorite wines that are on the shelf that aren’t getting the love that we think they deserve! These are the gems that have not yet been discovered by enough humans, so we’re going to give them a little love. 

You know the drill. Always Free, No Need to RSVP. Show up anytime between 5 and 7!

Well, all of our Friday’s were taken this month, so y’all are just going to have to settle for a Full Service SATURDAY this time around! If the weather cooperates, grill mom Nikaline will be in attendance, so both the food and drink menus will be very grill heavy.  Stay tuned for more specifics!

Our mobile drink trailer - Jackass Annie will be popping up again at Replenova Farm for a fundraising supper to benefit the Durham Amvets. We will have beer, wine, cocktails and mocktails, and Replenova will be serving some tasty food all made from locally sourced ingredients. A live saxophone quartet will be playing as well!

Members Only!!! For the month of July our wine club members get three fairly obscure, but super cool and delicious Austrian wines.  Grapes I’ve never even heard of! I special ordered these wines just for wine club members.

Join us on Weds July 2 from 6-8pm at Vessel and Vine for our third Pet Portrait Painting Night with Averil! (@averildidit )

🖌️On the night of the event, she’ll guide you step by step to bring your pet’s portrait to life with color!

Sign up deadline is Sunday June 29. Call us at Vine to reserve your spot!

Hey!  How about that heat wave we just had huh? Did you get out on the water? Did you go to the beach or a river or a lake? You know what’s great to bring to such venues? CANNED WINE. Have some preconceived notions about the quality of the wine you find in cans? Well, we hope to dispel some of those stereotypes in this tasting.  Canned wine is delicious, environmentally friendly, user friendly, and just darn perfect for summer in Maine.  We will have six options open for you to try - two whites, two reds, and two wild cards!

These cans are not messing around!  It’s really good juice!  Come taste through them, and stock up for Fourth of July weekend… And, even though they are cans, we are still going to offer you 10% off when you get 6+ more cans/bottles, on the night of the tasting only!
