KAT +muse: BLUXOME STREET WINERY

Bluxome Street Winery :: San Francisco, CA

The Bluxome Street Winery epitomizes the idea of simple sophistication and elegance. The large expanses of wood in varying textures are complemented by warm lighting and the simplicity of the concrete floors. Spectacular custom glass pendants (positioned on cranks to adjust heights if desired) dot the event space and contribute to the overall sexy vibe with the exposed filament bulbs. Positioned slightly off the main drag in San Francisco SOMA(South of Market District), this space is perfect for a private tasting or an intimate event with family and friends.

These pendants are actually Italian Demijohns which are used to make wine, store and transport via ship. Isaac of Bluxome Street Winery informed me that garage wine makers still use these today! (pretty cool, huh?)

This Saturday, thanks to Natalie Bowen Designs, I stumbled into one of San Francisco newest(and best kept) secrets. The San Francisco Meet Market is designed to help local, small businesses gain exposure in the SF foodie community. Each vendor being featured has been hand picked to showcase their talent, delicious food, and true originality. This week's market was held in the beautiful Bluxome Street Winery, and proved to be the perfect setting for this type of intimate event.

Here's a few of the goodies I splurged on---ALL natural and oh so delicious...

And who could resist some beefy boys and their granola? San Franola Co. is the one and only granola company that roasts their granola instead of baking or frying.
