How it works
Seven Jars offers a distinctive experience centered around tasting a diverse selection of wines and spirits. The company provides 16 different wines and 7 spirits, including two specialty bourbons. Customers interested in creating their own beverages can find nearly everything needed for brewing craft beer and making wine at home. The company's roots are intertwined with local history, dating back to the time of prohibition. Frank Ratcliffe, a significant figure in the story, was known for his activities during that era and later ran a well-known nightclub.
The legacy of Frank continues through Seven Jars, which remains a family-owned business. The team also hosts private events, allowing groups to explore the rich history while enjoying locally sourced products. The story of Frank and Velma adds an interesting backdrop to gatherings held at this venue. Parking is available on-site at no cost, making it convenient for guests attending events or simply visiting for tastings.

Our Review
Updated
Our first impression of Seven Jars is that it offers a unique blend of historical charm and contemporary tasting experiences, making it an intriguing option for team building activities. The combination of wine and spirit tastings with a narrative rooted in local history provides an engaging backdrop for teams looking to bond over shared experiences. For small teams or newly formed groups, the intimate setting and storytelling aspect can serve as excellent icebreakers, fostering conversation and connection in a relaxed environment.
However, one thing to keep in mind is that while Seven Jars is well-suited for teams interested in creative or leisurely pursuits, it may not be the best fit for highly analytical groups seeking structured problem-solving activities. The focus here leans more towards cultural enrichment and sensory exploration rather than competitive or strategic challenges. Additionally, larger groups might find the space limiting if the event requires more extensive interaction among participants. Overall, Seven Jars is a good choice for teams looking to explore local culture and enjoy a laid-back yet informative outing.
