If you are single and looking for Valentine’s Day plans, Cafe Caturra at Cameron Village is hosting a singles night.
The wine bar and restaurant is serving up ladies’ night wine specials and giveaways, including gift cards for massages and Scout & Molly’s boutique. And the single men shouldn’t feel left out; manager Ryan Jones recently updated the craft beer selection.
The small restaurant chain has seven locations in Cary, Raleigh, Virginia and South Carolina. They offer two dozen boutique wines by the glass or bottle and a menu with salads, sandwiches and pizzas, none of which cost more than $11.
Beyond Thursday’s festivities, Jones shared that they have specials every night of the week: $3 beers on Mondays, half off bottles of wine on Tuesdays, a blind tasting on Wednesdays where folks who correctly guess the wine they are tasting get it for free, Gigi’s cupcakes and wine on Thursdays, a flight of three wines for $10 on Fridays, $10 reserve wines by the glass on Saturdays and $12 bottomless mimosas on Sundays.
The restaurant is at 432 Woodburn Road, near The Fresh Market. For more information, go to cafecaturra.com or call 919-835-9463.
