Why did you start AURA Wine Bar?
We started AURA Wine Bar because we saw a need for a cozy, intimate space in Ridgefield where the community could unwind, connect with friends, and explore new and exciting wine selections.
Tell us a bit about your new home at West Lane Inn.
The wonderful owners of The West Lane Inn have been incredibly supportive as we search for our permanent location. Their charming porch provides the perfect setting for friends to gather over wine and small bites while enjoying the estate's beauty and ambiance. While here, we'll offer a preview of the experience and offerings you can expect at our future permanent home.
Will you be collaborating with local businesses?
Yes, absolutely! We’re excited to collaborate with other local businesses by featuring specialty items and locally made products on our menu. Supporting our community is vital to us, and we look forward to highlighting the incredible talent in Ridgefield. We’re also available for private events and would love to partner with others to create unique, memorable experiences.
We want the community to know that AURA Wine Bar was created with them in mind—a welcoming, comfortable space to unwind, connect, and discover new wines. We're here to bring people together and create memorable experiences, and we’re excited to grow alongside this amazing community.
