Wine
We at The Sunflower Cafe are committed to a wine program that celebrates the strength and diversity of our terroir. Our curated list features artisans whose work in the vineyard is defined by natural principles, a genuine respect for the land, and the nuanced expressions that each parcel of land can produce.
To ensure that our wines always complement our food, our by-the-glass list changes as frequently as the chefs change our menu. If you have something in mind, we will do our best to find match from what beautiful bottles we have open.
Tasting portions are 3oz, a full glass is 5oz, and sweet wine is 2oz.
Many of these wines come from small producers and, as such, cannot be found locally. If you’ve loved the wine that we have provided, we strongly encourage our guests to purchase a bottle to take home.
(Our pricing is known to be quite generous once you’ve dined with us.)
