PERMANENT SNOW DAY: CARAVAN’S CLOSING!

We will be closing our doors officially at the end of the day on Thursday, December 5th. Please come on out for a final visit to the space and grab a cocktail or some special spirit sips before it’s all over.

We’ve been working our tails off for the last five years and have decided to step away from Caravan to give more time to ourselves, each other and our kids. It’s been an absolute thrill to collaborate with so many wonderful people and businesses here in Stevens Point.

And most importantly, Caravan has been possible because of the customers that supported it! So many people were excited to try something new and be adventurous with their beverage choices. This allowed us to provide wine/beer/spirits that you might not otherwise be able to find.

Some people think a shop like Caravan should be in a bigger city. Well, it should. And! It should also be in a place like Stevens Point. Curiosity and creativity exists in everybody and we were lucky enough to encounter it on a daily basis. We will miss all of you.

Our shelves are pretty bare, but we’ve got some drinks to pour behind the bar. So, come on by for a final visit.

FEAST WEEK HOURS!

Leave your house for the comfort of some other place! We’ve got the space for you to tell it like it is and taste the shaken (or stirred) reality of your choice…well, our choice really.

Cocktails, wines, spirits, and plenty of good music and conversation.

HOW TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU FORGOT:

1. Brew a strong cup of piping hot coffee.
2. Put on some music you’ve never heard before.
3. Sweep the floor.
4. Pour coffee.
5. Add booze.
6. Top with whip cream.
7. Turn up music.

Spiked coffees all the time!

Add rum, bourbon or rye and top with homemade whipped cream. For you polar bears out there, we do have cold brew as well if you need an iced cup of cold Joe.

See ya soon here at Caravan.

EXTRA EXTRA: BIG BOTTLE BY THE GLASS

It’s time to have plenty of wine on hand. So, we decided to open one of our magnum bottles of the 2018 Batic Merlot from the Vipava Valley in Slovenia.

Made by the Batic Family, their wines are all grown and produced using biodynamic practices and minimal sulfite additions. This is a family that’s been making wine here in Slovenia for the last four hundred years. Yes. I did say 400 years!!

So, if you need a slow sip of the good stuff, grab a friend and come contemplate the state of the cosmos while swirling them around your glass.

A magnum is 1500 liters. So, we’ve got about 10 glasses to pour for well below restaurant pricing.

See you in the swirl!

AS THE RECORD TURNS: A SWIRL OF SIPS AND SOUNDS

3 Sides With DJ Brad
Thursday, September 19th
6:30 Spin Begins
7pm Side 1 Starts

DJ Brad has picked three fantastic sides of three fantastic albums. Come on out to experience this dude’s top level musical curation experience.

While this may sound like a high-brow night of stiff spine all-ears, it’s actually a relaxed environment where one need not even stay in their chair. You can get a three-glass wine flight to pair with the sides, you can sip some absinthe or punch, deep dive into a glass of whiskey, or just take it easy with your trusty water bottle. No judgements!

On the list:
Nina Simone
Ryo Fukui
Neil Young

Grab your pals and do what people do: listen to the music of others.

MISTAKES WERE MADE: A LIVE PIANO BAR AND STORYTELLING WITH CLANCY CRAMER

Friday, August 2nd@
7pm
F R E E

Thelonious Monk once said, “If you play a wrong note in jazz, play it again so people think you did it on purpose.” Clancy Cramer, local jack of all trades, will be accompanying some storytellers who will be telling tales of glorious mishaps.

We’ve all made mistakes, and that’s okay. But don’t make another by missing this show. The Lounge will be in full relax mode: chairs, tables, dimmed lights, bitter amaro to sweet moscato, powerful punch to fizzy pear cider, and always, always, Absinthe.

Expect a night filled with a mix of mingling and listening, sipping and softening your heart to understand that mistakes were made and listening to Clancy on tue piano can make it all better.

See you Friday! (No tix needed)

MILES OF DANDELIONS: LIVE AT CARAVAN
Friday, July 19th 7PM

Sheilagh Lyon and Ben Lila bring that one two punch of a guitar and fiddle riddle backed by their own space-grass cowgirl star-struck vocal harmonies.

The beer fridge will be fully stocked, the bar fully stacked. So get fully stoked to stay groovy.

Get your cheap tix at the link in bio! We are so lucky to have such talent come through the doors of Caravan. This will surely be a night to forget then wish you remembered.

And oh yeah…when you’re here….wish Sheilagh a Happy Birthday!!

THE BLOOD OF THE SUN: IS PURPLE AND FIZZY

We are talking about dry Lambrusco! This stuff is slam-jammin’ goooood. A little fizz to lift your summer spirits and then all that dry red to satisfy your animal soul searching.

You think I’m joking? You think I’m all talk?

I don’t know what I am, usually. But, when I’m drinking Lambrusco, I know exactly what/who/how and why I am. It all comes down to fill in the blank.

MORNING QUESTIONS: AFTERNOON ANSWERS

We don’t always have to have full-throttle ambition. Sometimes we need to rest, or just simply take a break. And what that looks like is different for everybody. When I drank this beer and ate the chips, I was focused , studying, visioning, working. It was a perfect session of productivity. Then, I took a break and swept the floor.

For some people, these pictured accessories might be right for pursuing your goals and doing what it takes to carve a new path in your life. For others, chips and a beer could be the perfect way to rest your weary, over-thinking mind. Listen to the crunch of a chip, rather than the crunch of a number!

Whatever you are doing or not doing, we’ve got the tools for the job.
