Mural City Cellars Garden Closing Event

Amplifying Mural Arts Month spirit, this October we welcome a new collaboration with Mural City Cellars (MCC), Philadelphia’s first urban winery, creating minimal intervention wines made with locally available grapes. MCC sources fruit within a 300-mile radius and works with Philadelphia-based artists to design their labels and give back to their neighborhood through their Community Supported Winery (CSW) program. Co-owners Nicholas and Francesca are partnered with Mural Arts Philadelphia for their co-branded wine, the sales of which will contribute to the vibrant public art scene in the city of Philadelphia.

Join us for a toast to celebrate the new Mural Arts Red Wine and our partnership at the Mural City Cellars Wine Garden! There will be live music, a food vendor, and artist activations, and we will—of course—be pouring the new wine and selling bottles for folks to take home.

The 2022 Mural Arts Red is 100% Chambourcin, a local varietal that grows just over the bridge in Swedesboro, NJ. The grapes were picked in the Fall of 2022, and the wine spent eight months aging in neutral French oak barrels at the winery in Fishtown. It’s fruit-forward and light with notes of cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate and tastes delicious with a slight chill. The winery will also sell the Mural Arts Month-themed wine, donating 15% per bottle for every sale.
