Join one of our upcoming classes on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.:
The Urban Wine School is just one of many wonderful local businesses to visit in the Cedar Lee district. Make a while evening out of it and enjoy a neighborhood adventure.
Savor before you sip with dinner at one of the many delicious restaurants on Lee Rd., including some of our favorites like Anatolia Cafe, Dewey’s Pizza, Zoma Ethiopian Restaurant, and Cozumel Mexican Restaurant. There are also plenty of great shopping options, from Olie’s Gift & Ship down the road to Peace Lily’s plant store right next door to us. Pick out a great book to enjoy with a glass of wine at Hexagon Books, or find the perfect pairing at Marchant Manor Cheese.
You can also catch a movie before or after your Urban Wine School class at the historic Cedar Lee Theater, located across the street from us at the corner of Lee and Cedar. Head further south for a theatrical production at the Dobama Theater on Lee and Corydon. And if you come back to CLE Urban Winery on the weekend, check out Wizbang Theater, a quirky stop just steps north of our winery.
The Cleveland Urban Wine School is located in Cleveland Heights, in the heart of the Cedar Lee neighborhood. Our address is 2180B Lee Rd., Cleveland Heights, OH 44118.
