Welcome to UpNorth Social Tasting & Grazing Room

Our Story

UpNorth Social was born from a passion for great food, community, and memorable experiences. We wanted to create a space where people could come together, explore a variety of flavors, and enjoy each other’s company in a beautifully designed and welcoming environment. With our innovative self-pour taproom featuring local craft brews and specialty wines, and our customizable charcuterie options, we offer something truly special for every guest.
