Our Menu
At Vintage ’78 Wine Bar we strive to offer the finest selection of Artisan and Farmstead cheeses, as well as the best selection of world-class charcuterie in the Midwest. To do this, we searched for the highest-quality products we could find from small, artisan producers. Most of our cheese and charcuterie are priced a la carte – enough of a single selection for one person (we recommend a selection of 3, similar to our wine flights). Accompaniments are also priced a la carte. We want to offer our guests the opportunity to create their own flights, or tastings as they see fit. Our team is well-versed in all of our offerings and can help you select just the right items to fit your tastes. All of our cheese and charcuterie offerings are also available by the pound if you would like to take some home with you. Please inquire about pricing • Warning: The State of Kansas Requires That We Tell You Eating Undercooked or Raw Food May Kill You!!!!
