A sign that it is finally spring! Outdoor spaces are opening up for the season!

Jet Wine Bar, Philadelphia’s global vineyard, is thrilled to announce the seasonal reopening of Jet Wine Garden, South Street’s urban oasis – just in time for the beginning of patio season!

Guests are invited to indulge in an array of ancient world and contemporary wines, specialty cocktails, plus Mediterranean and Middle Eastern-inspired bites by Chef Jacob Fram.

In the foliage-filled space adjacent to Jet Wine Bar, surrounded by greenery and the mural-clad walls, guests can sip on an array of rare white, red, rosé, orange and sparkling wines, as well as an extensive bottle list filled with indigenous varietals from emerging wine regions. Jet Wine Garden also boasts a menu full of local beer and cocktails that are all inspired by different wine regions. 

“It’s been a long winter, but we’re finally ready to have guests back in the garden!” said Emily Gordon, General Manager of Jet Wine Bar. “We’ve missed our South Street regulars and can’t wait to see the familiar faces as well as the new crowds this season. The warmer weather is coming early this year, and it’s perfect timing to come and try out our ancient world wine list, revamped cocktail menu, and new food menu, inspired by some of our favorite emerging wine regions. Come for the drinks, but stay for the vibes!”
