The Downers Grove location will be the first location in Chicagoland to offer the Cooper’s Hawk Reserve Tasting Experience. Guests will be offered a rotating monthly flight that will be paired with light bites served by attendants who can share insights into the wines and how they pair with certain flavors and foods.
