Simply Sangria: Sip and savor flavorful delights

Simply Sangria is a delightful store known for its signature sangria. The journey began a decade ago when the owner, Brian Miller, sampled a blackberry sangria during a trip out of town. Its remarkable flavor inspired him to create his own version, leading to the creation of Simply Sangria, which has become a beloved spot for many. You can taste and purchase their wines at their shop or find them at the Old Town Farm & Art Market in downtown on Saturdays when it opens for the season this spring. The space can be rented out for parties and other events.
