PRIVATE event calendar
Located in an historic 110 year-old building at the heart of North Williams Avenue, Ora et Labora’s Vinum Lounge (separated from our shop by a wall, and connected by doors) is an intimate space celebrating community and a love of wine. Casually elegant, our lounge is ideal for small-to-medium size gatherings with people of all ages. Our space features soaring ceilings, wood floors, and lovely light. Bring us your vision, and Ora et Labora will be the palette upon which you paint the experience.
You’ll find information about venue fees and additional details above. If you have questions, or would like to inquire about booking, please contact Sarah or Dave.
P.S. In case you need an officiant for your micro wedding, Dave is ordained in the church of Dudeism (which is like a super laid back sort of thing, man). He’s officiated two weddings thus far, and as a former theology teacher, is well-versed in a variety of humanist and spiritual traditions.

“It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend; one’s present or future thirst; the excellence of the wine; or any other reason.”
