Wine Night

Tuesdays are ½ Price Bottles for Wines Under $200

Parties and Events

Thanks for considering Peppervine for your event! We are a chef-driven, globally inspired restaurant with an award-winning wine program.
(Wine Spectator Best of Award every year since 2021)
Because we are chef-driven – each dish we make is prepared only by one person rather than an assembly line team – our dishes require a high level of care. To best provide service both for your party and for the other diners in the restaurant, we offer two options for parties of 10 or more.

Menu Options for Parties of 10 or More

Prix Fixe Menu

For those who want flexibility on the night of the party

Pre-Ordering

For those who want access to the full menu

* We do not book parties of 8 or more on Friday or Saturday.
Spots are limited. Inquire Now:
reservations@peppervine.com
All allergies or other dietary restrictions must accompany the pre-order. We cannot promise accommodations without advance notice.
Peppervine does its best to accommodate dietary restrictions provided we have sufficient notice.
We do not allow outside food under any circumstances, including cakes.
We do not allow outside alcohol. If you have a special bottle of wine that you wish to bring in, we do allow a maximum of one preapproved outside bottle for a corkage fee of $30.
Guests have access to our complete cocktail and beer list for any party.
We have an extensive wine list almost all of which are carried in quantities of 1-3 bottles. If you would like to make general requests for wine (i.e., a Napa Cab or a Rhone Blend), just let us know what you’re looking for, your price range per bottle, and the number of bottles you would like for us to provide. If you wish to request specific bottles of winewe require a minimum of 7 days’ notice. We do recommend suggesting an alternate – wine distribution is mercurial, and we cannot guarantee the availability of any particular wine.
