I was so excited to see nonalcoholic options on the drink menu! While it is becoming more popular, I’ve see a lot of places turn to canned N.A. options, which have mostly lacked flavor and depth. To be able to get an N.A. margarita on happy hour and a whole flight of N.A. wines was so exciting! The marg was amazing and hit those “margarita” notes it’s hard to replicate without tequila. Numerous options for N.A. wines including reds and white. Overall, I was so excited to see the offerings Cavelier had that allowed me to still enjoy a happy hour afternoon with family. Can’t wait to come back! Definitely worth the drive up from Milwaukee!

Wife and I decided to stop in this afternoon on a whim, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. It turned out to be exactly what we needed to relax before the start of a busy week. The location itself is stellar, right on the waterfront. Because it wasn’t crowded at the time, we were able to snag a great spot and really appreciate the peaceful views and the relaxed atmosphere.
Stepping inside, the ambiance was immediately welcoming. They absolutely nailed the holiday spirit. The Christmas music playing in the background was perfectly curated, festive enough to set the mood but not so loud that it drowned out conversation. Coupled with the charming Christmas decor, the whole place felt incredibly cozy and nostalgic.
A major highlight for me was the drink menu. I loved the creative touch of focusing the cocktail list on National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation; it was a fun detail that really added character to the visit. We decided to try the eggnog and the spiced cider, and neither disappointed. The eggnog was rich and creamy without being overpowering, and the spiced cider was the perfect comforting warmer for a crisp afternoon.
The only slight downside worth mentioning is the food selection. It is a bit limited, so I wouldn’t recommend coming here expecting a heavy, full course meal. However, that is genuinely the only critique I have, and given how high-quality the drinks, service, and atmosphere were, it is certainly not worth knocking off a star. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to get into the holiday spirit. It’s a solid 5-star experience!

Great little wine bar on the Lake Michigan shoreline, overlooking the harbor! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the drinks were fantastic! Took a ride up after Summerfest and we will definitely be returning! There are cozy seating areas inside and a spacious deck for outdoor seating. Great for a date or a visit with friends. There is a good selection of reasonably priced and generously portioned cheese curds and cheese wedges available to snack on with your drinks. There are also crackers, pretzels, chocolate-covered potato chips, and mixed nut options. We tried the red port wedge and the crackers found next to the cheese case, and it was a terrific addition to our delicious cocktails! We had the Razzmataz and On Deck cocktails – both very flavorful and refreshing! We followed up with the spiced peach sangria which was also very good! The bathrooms are very clean ( always a good sign) and super cute. This is an hour and 20 minute drive from home, but we will definitely be returning! I highly recommend stopping in.

Absolutely love the October drink menu and decor!! So fun and would love to return to try more. Came in with five girls on a Tuesday around 7pm. No one else was in there but it said the location was open till 9pm. Maybe the bartender was having a bad day but she barely said any of three words to us and it was quite awkward. Never asked if we wanted a new drink or refills so unfortunately we had one and left.

A Hidden Gem with Big Charm – Cavelier Wine Bar
Downtown Port Washington just keeps getting better — and Cavelier Wine Bar is the crown jewel I didn’t know I was missing! Tucked into the heart of downtown, this spot has been quietly perfecting its vibe for just over a year, and now that I’ve discovered it, I can’t stop raving.
I stopped in during the morning and was instantly wrapped in the kind of ambiance that makes you exhale and smile. Cavelier’s warm industrial charm with its deep green and gold accents, black industrial ceiling, and just the right lighting, strikes the perfect balance between cozy and refined. It’s equal parts moody and magical, like your favorite indie movie set in a design magazine.
Their morning coffee game? On point. The signature coffee beverages are thoughtfully crafted, delicious, and served with genuine warmth by a staff that clearly loves being there. Friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The team sets the tone and makes you feel like you’ve found your new favorite haunt.
While I didn’t get to sample the wine, cocktails, or Hill Valley cheeses this time around (that’ll be my next visit, count on it!), I have no doubt that their evening offerings live up to the same thoughtful quality. The live music lineup is just another reason I’ll be returning soon. This place isn’t just a wine bar, it’s an experience waiting to be had.
Whether you’re starting your day with coffee or planning your next night out, Cavelier Wine Bar is a beautiful, cozy, and vibrant place you’ll want to keep coming back to.

Beautiful spot looking out on the marina. I loved the interior style, classy but cozy, and comfy bar chairs. The bartender was so friendly and they allow kids to sit inside which was a plus since we had our 1yr old with us. I got the raspberry cocktail-zero proof since alcohol doesn’t agree with me-and it was tart, sweet, and delicious. They used house made raspberry syrup. My hubby got a wine flight and really enjoyed his two white and two red wines. It was a relaxing environment and not overly crowded.

Great selection of drinks, including NAs (which I appreciate as I’m trying to drink less alcohol while still being able to socialize). Made with care and absolute attention to detail.
Beautiful view which makes a great spot to impress out-of-towners! If busy, the inside is incredibly noisy (maybe due to the high ceilings?). So if you want to chat, maybe come when it’s less busy or grab a seat outside.
I don’t think there’s much to munch on, but perhaps that will change in time. There are some good restaurants nearby otherwise.

Cavelier Wine Bar is an absolute delight! I stopped in recently and was so impressed by their amazing non-alcoholic (NA) selection—it’s not something you find often, and I appreciate that they offer something for everyone. It’s clear they put real thought into curating their options.
The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the live music added such a fun, vibrant touch to the evening. Even though my bartender was new and still training, she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. Great service all around!
Huge thanks to Cavelier for offering NA choices and creating such an inclusive and enjoyable space. I’ll be back soon! Keep up the great work!
