FINE WINES, WAREHOUSE PRICES
If you haven't yet discovered the wonders of the Wine Pavilion in Lake Forest, you're missing out on a premium selection of more than 5,000 wines, spirits and beers at warehouse prices.
And the Wine Pavilion carries an extensive selection of more than 80 gourmet cheeses, imported deli meats and an international selection of premium gourmet foods.
We love the intimate wine bar for wine tastings, flights and even specialty beers on tap.
The Wine Pavilion's staff and customer service are top rate. London-born James Drakeford, a cheese and charcuterie expert, oversees the Wine Pavilion's specialty foods departments. Drakeford's background is impressive. He purchased cheeses for Harrods Food Hall in London, and managed and consulted for Dean & Deluca and Balducci’s charcuterie and cheese departments in New York.
The Wine Pavilion also offers memorable wine and food tasting events. You can get a taste of summer at the Wine Pavilion's Italian Wine & Cheese Celebration on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Ferragosto, a national holiday in Italy, is enjoyed at the Wine Pavilion, too with wine, food and cheeses from Italy's mountain and coastal region.
Open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. 24366 Swartz Drive in Lake Forest. 949.206.9531.
