Calivence Wine Tasting Bar + Bistro

09/17/2026

Consider this your new weekend dinner ritual. ✨

Every weekend, our three-part dinner evolves around a single idea — an appetizer, an entrée and a French reserve wine chosen to pair with it. It’s our upscale weekend dining experience, offered Thursday through Sunday from 4 PM to close.

Here’s what’s on the table this week:

🥖 Salmon Rillettes
Served in a Le Parfait jar with toasted crostinis + cornichon pickles

🦆 Crispy Duck Breast
Parsnip purée, Enchanted Mushroom ragout + lavender essence

🍷 From Our Cellar to Your Table
Domaine Michel Magnien Bourgogne Côte d’Or 2018 Pinot Noir — a biodynamic red Burgundy with ripe cherry and raspberry, earthy spice and subtle forest floor notes. A beautiful pairing for the duck.

A little French inspiration, a great bottle of wine and dinner upstairs at Calivence. We’ll be sharing a new pairing each weekend.

Thursday – Sunday | 4pm – close

Organic Month, the Calivence way. 🌿

For us, living organically isn’t about following a rulebook. It’s about being a little more thoughtful about what we pour, what we eat, and the rituals we bring into everyday life.

🍷 Wines grown with regenerative farming practices
🫒 Estate olive oil for the table—and your skin
🌱 Seasonal ingredients that follow the rhythm of the land

Because Calivence was never meant to be just something you drink. It’s a way of living well, eating beautifully, and staying connected to where it all comes from.

Here’s to making the everyday a little more intentional. ✨

Still thinking about this night. 🤍

There’s nothing better than gathering around the table, sharing a glass, and spending a summer evening with wonderful company. Thank you to everyone who made the Fredericksburg Food & Wine Festival Preview Week's Summer in Saint Tropez Calivence White Party one to remember.

Until next time. 🥂
