Any party 7 or under is first come first served. Groups larger than 7 require reservations and fall within our larger groups policy, which you can find by clicking in that section from the Home Page.

We also require reservations for our special tasting events that you can find under "Events" on the Home Page.

Please call us at (949) 916-4810 to make a reservation for a tasting event or for your larger party.

Large Party Policy

To ensure the best experience for all of our guests, the following policy applies to large parties:

• Parties of 8–14 guests can be accommodated on our patio and require a $25 minimum per person

• Parties of 15–20 guests can only be accommodated inside due to space limitations and require a $40 minimum per person

• All large parties are allotted a 2-hour time limit

• A 20% gratuity will be automatically added to all charges for large parties

Thank you for your understanding—we look forward to hosting your group!

Our phone number is (949) 916-4810.

Due to ABC alcohol licensing regulations, we are unable to accommodate anyone under 21 at our establishment, including infants.

Well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome on our patio. However, if a customer has an allergy to dogs and informs us, that customer will have precedent over the pet and we will move you to an acceptable part of the patio away from the allergic customer.

Absolutely! We have GF options for our flatbreads and for our crackers on a cheese/charcuterie platter. There is no additional charge for the GF crackers, but for the flatbreads there is an upcharge of $5. The GF flatbread option is much larger too, so a great tasting option for those needing GF or for those who want a larger thin-crust flatbread.

Yes, just like our platters to enjoy on premise, we can make a small (2 item) all the way to a 7-item platter to go. We can even make party platters to go that have a larger portion of each cheese and meat. A small party platter at $50 serves 6-8 people and a large party platter at $70 serves 10-15 people. Ideally, please give us 24 hours notice on the party platters.

Yes! You are correct that we have a retail wine shop and have excellent pricing on our bottles to go. The good news is that we can open up any bottle from the retail store for consumption in our tasting room or outside on one of our lakefront patios. We charge a $10 service fee to open up a bottle, but you get the benefit of far lower retail prices compared to the exact bottle in a restaurant. This rare “Dual License” of off-premise retail and on-premise restaurant is found at only a select few retail/restaurant locations in the country, resulting in tremendous savings for our customers.

If you are one of our Wine Club members, you do not pay a service fee enjoying a retail bottle onsite, AND you receive a 10% discount on each bottle.

Marty Cruz and Ken Domagalski opened our wine shop and tasting room on September 12, 2012—creating a space where great wine, friendly faces, and a sense of community come together.

When you come in, head right to the front register and ask for a “Wine Tasting Card”. That card will be yours to keep, you pre-load it with any amount $20 or more, it doesn’t cost any money for the card itself, you just load it up and the money is deducted based on what wine you choose out of the station at varying amounts depending on the bottle cost.

You have three pour options, a 1oz, 3oz, or 5.5oz. The prices for a full glass (5.5oz pour) will range from around $10 per glass all the way to $60 or more if you pour from our premium station. There are 20 different bottles to choose from, usually having 8 different white wine options and 12 different red wine options, and every day you come in we will have different wines to choose from.

We have Happy Hour with our wine stations every day from 4pm-6pm, 7 days per week. Happy Hour is 30% off all of the various pours, making it more price effective to pour by the glass than to get a bottle.

You’ve come to the right place if you have any wine-related question! Almost every employee who works for A Hidden Vine is either a Certified Sommelier or studying to be one, so asking any wine-related question is something that we love! We will be happy to help you on your journey of finding the perfect wine for your next meal, a party, a birthday gift, or just a wine to enjoy by yourself or with a loved one. This is why we are here and we love what we do!
