1. Whired
We are happy to tell you about Whired Wine Bar located at 410 L St. in Sacramento. They are open on Monday through Thursday from 4 PM to 10 PM, on Friday from 4 PM to 11 PM, and on Saturday from 5 PM to 11 PM. They are not open on Sundays.
More than anything else, this is an excellent spot to go when you’re looking to get wined and dined or do the wining and dining. It’s really a special place and they have something exceptional every day during the work week. The daily special is always going to be different, so it’s hard to tell you what they are going to do from one day to the next. But if you like nice surprises, this is reason enough to stop by if you’re looking to relax and unwind on a weekday.
One of our favorite things is their “build your own cheese and charcuterie board.” The platters taste absolutely amazing, they are savory and you get to choose the particular taste you’re going after. This will really make any date night extra special.
Lastly, they also have a promotion called Paint & Sip. Get together with a group of friends and go for an enjoyable evening while learning how to paint with a talented artist as you imbibe some of the best tasting wine that money can buy. It’s a fun and interesting way to spend an evening to say the least!
