ACOUSTIC HARBOR SESSIONS: LIVE MUSIC & WINE ON THE LAKE MICHIGAN WATERFRONT

There is no better soundtrack to a weekend on Lake Michigan than the gentle strum of an acoustic guitar paired with the sounds of the harbor. At Cavelier Wine Bar, our regular Acoustic Harbor Sessions bring together talented regional musicians, exceptional wines, and breathtaking waterfront views for an unforgettable afternoon by the lake.

Whether you're unwinding after a day out on the water or meeting friends for Sunday afternoon drinks, our sunlit outdoor deck and stylish lounge offer the ultimate coastal listening room. Settle in, feel the lake breeze, and experience the vibrant rhythm of Port Washington’s premier waterfront wine destination.

THE PREMIER WATERFRONT LISTENING ROOM AT CAVELIER WINE BAR

Music brings people together, and there’s no setting quite like the harbor at golden hour. Cavelier Wine Bar offers a warm, sophisticated haven where guests can slow down, connect, and enjoy live acoustic performances in a welcoming coastal environment. From easygoing Sunday afternoons to holiday weekend showcases, our harbor sessions celebrate the vibrant artistry and hospitality of our local community.

"Live music has a way of turning an ordinary afternoon into something truly special. We love hosting incredible acoustic artists on the deck—there’s nothing quite like seeing our guests relaxing with a glass of wine, listening to great tunes, and watching the sun set over the marina."


— Kelly, Owner of Cavelier Wine Bar

"JOINING THE CLUB WAS THE BEST DECISION WE MADE ALL YEAR. THE MONTHLY SELECTIONS ARE PHENOMENAL, THE EXCLUSIVE TASTINGS ARE INCREDIBLY FUN, AND WE’VE MET SO MANY TRULY WONDERFUL LOCAL FRIENDS HERE."
