In the heart of Lincoln, California, there’s a place where the clink of glasses and the hum of lively conversation create a symphony of good times. Welcome to Citizen Vine, a family-owned wine bar and eatery that’s been stealing hearts and pleasing palates since its inception.

A Family Affair

The Daley Family, the proud owners of Citizen Vine, have poured their hearts and souls into creating a space that feels like home – if your home happens to have an impressive wine cellar and a chef whipping up mouthwatering tapas. Their motto, “Pouring for the People,” isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s what makes Citizen Vine tick.

Wine for Every Palate

Whether you’re a wine newbie who can’t tell a Merlot from a Malbec or a seasoned sommelier, Citizen Vine has something for you. Their carefully curated wine list features selections from around the globe, ensuring a perfect pour for every palate. And if you’re more of a hophead than a grape enthusiast, fear not! They’ve got a stellar beer selection, too.

Tapas That Will Make Your Taste Buds Dance

Now, let’s talk food. Citizen Vine’s award-winning tapas menu is designed to complement its extensive drink selection perfectly. From their pride and joy – the charcuterie board – to crowd-pleasers like the Margherita flatbread, each dish is crafted with care and bursting with flavor. It’s the kind of food that makes you want to order one of everything and then return the next day to do it all over again.

A Community Hub

Citizen Vine isn’t just a place to eat and drink; it’s a community hub where friendships are forged over shared bottles and shared stories. The warm, inviting atmosphere makes it easy to converse with your neighbor at the bar or bond with the friendly staff over a wine recommendation.

Wine Club: For the Serious Sippers

For those who take their wine seriously (or seriously enjoy drinking it), Citizen Vine offers two tiers of wine club membership: The Enthusiast and The Fanatic.

The Enthusiast membership, at $99 per quarter, offers perks like discounts on menu items and bottles to go, exclusive pick-up parties with live music and wine tastings, and priority booking for special events. It’s perfect for those who want to dip their toes into the world of wine without diving headfirst into the barrel.

For true wine lovers, there’s The Fanatic membership. At $199 per quarter, it includes all the benefits of The Enthusiast, plus some extra-special treats like free wine tastings at partner wineries in Napa, Sonoma, and Paso Robles. It’s like having a VIP pass to Wine Country.

Events That Will Make Your Calendar Jealous

Citizen Vine isn’t content with being a great spot for a casual night out. They regularly host events that’ll have you clearing your schedule faster than you can say “Cabernet Sauvignon.” From wine dinners featuring top vintners to live music nights that’ll have you tapping your feet and nodding your head, there’s always something exciting on the horizon.

A Toast to the Future

As we raise our glasses to 2024, Citizen Vine continues to shine in Lincoln’s dining and drinking scene. It’s a place where wine flows as freely as conversation, strangers become friends, and every visit feels like coming home.

So, stop by Citizen Vine, whether you’re a Lincoln local or just passing through. Grab a glass, order some tapas, and prepare to become part of a community that celebrates the good things in life – one sip at a time.
