Frequently Asked Questions about Events at the Winery

We are committed to providing a safe and sanitary environment for you and your guests! We have no outdoor seating, but we will open the garage doors when the weather permits!

We care deeply about you and your health and safety, so we have installed an Ultraviolet Germicidal Air Purifier in our Tasting Room ventilation system. This system treats the inside air to remove viruses, allergens, bacteria and mold from the air. This non-chemical application is deadly to micro-organisms exposed to the UV light rays, ensuring air is treated before being released into the room. Our Tasting Room also has a high-efficiency ventilation system for exhaust air, which ensures our air circulates and stays fresh. The investment in this air treatment system is another example of steps we take to enhance the safety of our indoor space, and we continue to abide by all state and federal coronavirus safety and prevention guidelines and directives to the very best of our ability. We thank you for your continued support - be safe and well!

CLE Urban Winery does NOT have private parking. Metered public parking is available on Lee Rd and in the large parking lot and garage across the street from the winery behind the Cedar-Lee Theater. Of note, metered parking in Cleveland Heights is FREE right now, so there is no need to put quarters in the meter!! There is also a municipal parking garage off Tullamore Rd across the street from the winery.
