• Book swap table inside the tasting room
• Opportunities to read/craft, socialize with others, and make new bookish friends
• Delicious drinks offered by our incredible host venue

How The Book Swap Works

Our book swaps are all about the cozy, casual vibes. They're designed to feel like a social event where you just happen to be surrounded by books. Here's how it works:

1. Bring 1–3 gently pre-loved books you’ve already read or are ready to pass along. Any genre is welcome! The only rule: bring books in good condition (something you’d feel good lending to a friend).
2. When you arrive, drop your books at the swap table (look for signage!), then grab a drink, browse, and start picking your next read.
3. To keep it fair, please take home the same number of books you brought. In the last hour, we’ll open it up to grab extras from what’s left.

Note: Most books* left over after the event get distributed to little free libraries around the area.

Shop the Pop-Up

While you’re there, explore our curated collection of new and used books, “Blind Date with a Book” surprises, and bookish merch.
