From a press release:

Santé Wine Bar and Tap Room Seeks Buyer

Attention wine lovers, here’s an opportunity that doesn’t happen everyday: Santé Wine Bar and Tap Room is for sale.

Santé opened in 2006 in the historic Grove Arcade and has been a favorite of both locals and tourists since that time. Earlier this year, Santé became North Carolina’s first official wine tap room when it purchased a Micromatic wine-on-tap system and introduced twelve wines served from keg greening their already innovative wine by the glass program.

Carla Baden, Santé’s owner, is looking forward to taking on new projects, including travel and yoga studies. “Santé is a really special place and I’m proud of what it’s become over the last 6 years,” says Baden. “For the right person, this place will be a fantastic enterprise.”

Anyone interested in learning more should contact Jeff Eatherly at National Restaurant Associates at 828- 225- 4801. Santé will maintain regular business hours during the transition, opening at 4:00 pm daily. For more info visit www.santewinebar.com.

Sante is located in the Grove Arcade in downtown Asheville.
