Join YourClassical MPR for a truly unique and enchanting happy hour experience at Surdyk’s Liquor & Cheese Shop! We’re delighted to invite you to a special evening where you can stroll through the renovated store as you enjoy classical music and complimentary tastings of wine, sake, and innovative functional beverages at multiple tasting stations.
YourClassical MPR host Vernon Neal will set the mood with a curated soundtrack before classical duo, The OK Factor, perform live! Known for their fresh approach to classical music, The OK Factor’s violinist Karla Peters and cellist Olivia Diercks create a warm, inviting experience with original compositions and classic arrangements.
Plus, make sure to stock up on beverages while you’re there! Surdyk’s Summer Sale will be in full swing with over 1,200 items on sale storewide.
