City Winery at the Riverwalk is a riverside wine garden in the Loop, Chicago, that hosts private parties, corporate events and happy hours for up to 100 guests. Groups get an outdoor patio steps above the Chicago River, with the city's architecture all around and a glass enclosure for colder or wet days.
The main private option is a full venue buyout, which gives a group exclusive use of the Riverwalk property, including the patio and the climate-controlled, retractable glass enclosure. In bad weather the enclosure holds up to 100 guests.
Food at a private event is served from reception stations, set out for an hour and a half: chips and dips, salads, Mediterranean, cheese and charcuterie, flatbreads, a slider bar, a ceviche bar and sweets. Drinks come as beverage packages of two, three or four hours, from beer and City Winery's own wine up to premium spirits, with an Aperol spritz bar and signature cocktail or mocktail upgrades. The feel is open-air and relaxed, with river views and a dog-friendly patio.
Events are planned with the venue's dedicated event staff, who help each group choose stations, a bar package and the details of the day. Regular table reservations cover parties of up to 10, so larger birthday parties, anniversary parties, bar and bat mitzvahs and company gatherings are arranged as private events. Menu prices for private events exclude tax and additional fees.
