Six years ago, we opened Cork & Cap with a simple idea: create a place where good wine, good food, and good people could come together.

What happened next exceeded anything we could have imagined.

We've shared thousands of bottles, hosted countless tastings, celebrated milestones, weathered challenges, and built friendships that mean the world to us.

So if you've noticed the large blue "For Lease" sign on the fence, don't be alarmed.

Cork & Cap is not disappearing.

But this chapter is coming to a close.

At the end of June, we'll be saying goodbye to the yellow cottage, and introducing something entirely new.

A new name.

A new look.

A new space.

And a concept that reflects everything we've learned over the past six years.

Expect a more intimate experience centered around thoughtfully curated wines for purchase, a new wines by-the-glass program, and simple snacks built from the provisions we love.

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported Cork & Cap along the way. You helped shape what comes next.

Today we're excited to share the first glimpse of the future.

Vignette, Wine Bar and Cellar, coming later this summer!

More details soon. 🥂

A quick note from us this week ❤️

If our hours or communication have seemed a little off, we wanted to share that we had a medical emergency in our family and needed to step away to take care of what mattered most. It was one of those weeks where a couple of things unraveled at once, and we’re incredibly grateful for your patience and kindness while we navigated it.

We’re thankfully on the mend and looking forward to seeing everyone today from 12–7pm!

No tasting this Saturday, but come by to stock up on wine, grab lunch from one of our awesome neighbors, and spend a happy afternoon in downtown Aiken. We’re grateful for this community more than you know.

From 12-7pm today (Thursday May 7) we’ll have parked out front and delicious chilled wines inside to pair perfectly with your crustacean feast!

The weather will clear up this afternoon so that the yard dries out, so grab an umbrella just in case and head on out for one last blast with our friends at Cousins!

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know Cork & Cap has always been about one thing: helping Aiken discover great wine.

Over the last 5 years, we’ve loved seeing how you all use this space—lingering on the porch over a glass of wine, sharing bottles with friends, and settling into the easy rhythm that’s made Cork & Cap what it is.

We’re planning to carry that same feeling forward in our next chapter.

So… what’s next?

Thoughtfully chosen bottles, as always.
A rotating by-the-glass list.
A few good snacks.

Still right here in downtown Aiken.

More soon! 🍷
