PHILADELPHIA, PA (September 12, 2019) – City Winery Philadelphia has announced its opening at 10th & Filbert next week, debuting as the city’s first-ever local urban winery, restaurant, private event space and live music venue. Philadelphia is the seventh city to host this iconic concert hall for music lovers. The intimate cultural experience will feature well-known artists like Josh Ritter, Emmylou Harris, the Mountain Goats, and Macy Gray. Other upcoming shows include Bilal, Eric Hutchinson, Raheem DeVaughn, Jon McLaughlin and many more. City Winery opens on the same day as the all-new Fashion District which is the largest premier shopping, dining, and entertainment destination in the heart of Philadelphia.

The opening will take place on Thursday, September 19 and it is City Winery Philadelphia’s honor to show guests their impeccable customer service and delectable Mediterranean-inspired menu. City Winery Philadelphia will be serving all-day wine samples during regular restaurant hours from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. but guests can also order from their award-winning wine list featuring over 200 wines with hundreds more to come from many of the top producers from all over the world. There will also be a contest for all guests who come in on the opening day. They will be eligible for a chance to win a pair of concert tickets for one show of their choice each week, from now through the end of the year. Participants must provide their email to a City Winery staff member in order to be in the running.  

During the event, the Founder and CEO of City Winery, Michael Dorf will give guests an intimate tour of the newly completed location. He will kick-off the tour with a toast at 5 p.m. to celebrate this iconic day. 

“We’re excited about Philadelphia because it is such a great culinary city with a deep passion for culture and entertainment. The combination of what we are offering feels like a home run,” says Founder and CEO, Michael Dorf.

City Winery Philadelphia offers a unique combination of wine and concertgoers that cannot be found anywhere else in the city. The brand new location includes two performance venues; a 300-seat intimate concert hall and a smaller 150-capacity loft space. Both of these venues offer full food and beverage service during concerts and have trained staff to provide superior service without compromising the listening and/or viewing experience. The 150-seat restaurant will serve locally sourced dishes crafted by Executive Chef, Jason Heim, and house-made wines, crafted with grapes carefully sourced from acclaimed vineyards on the West Coast. The main entrance to the location is at the corner of 10th and Filbert Street and the hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
