Vintage 53 aims to bring together the old and new. Mario, the owner of Vintage 53, has been developing the idea for this wine bar for almost 10 years. His love for wine began in childhood. Back then, his passion was not for the drink but rather for the joy of a family gathering around the dinner table, drinking wine, and enjoying each other’s company. Now, he has a location where he can share that love of wine and bring together a whole new family: the people of St. Charles

NEW THIS YEAR! There are 5 partners; Andy Marck (principal investor), his two boys (Dave & Steve Marck), Eric Bramwell (head brewer from Naperville) and myself (Jason Arges also from Naperville). Andy has been a resident of St. Charles for over 50 years and raised his family here. About 3 years ago at backyard 4th of July party I was hosting, Andy who was recently retired tried some home brews that Eric made and wanted to see what it would take to open a brewery. Many months later we opened our doors to the public on March 15th in St. Charles.
Soda and Water are Complimentary. Additional drink tickets will be available for purchase at the event and will be $20 for 4.

Fresh Ground Coffee is about three things:
1) Great Roasted Coffee with a purpose - everything starts with the bean. Without great beans, you can't have great coffee. Great beans come from relationships with farmers dedicated to quality.
2) Equipment and Supplies - Espresso, drip, pour over ... whatever you are doing to make coffee we can provide you the tools to make it even better. 3) Training and Support - Come to our coffee cuppings, sign up for a home barista class or a brewing class. Our mission is not only to provide great equipment and beans, but to teach you how to use them effectively.
