Website for new-concept ‘Le Cave’ wine bar by Michael and Lindsey Tusk.
Verjus Le Cave and restaurant is a new concept developed by Michael and Lindsey Tusk, owners of 5-star Michelin rated San Francisco restaurants Quince and Cotogna. The concept evolved over many years of travel to foreign cities where enjoying natural wines and small plates is the norm. Verjus is a casual environment where patrons are encouraged to try new dishes and wine pairings while socialize among friends.
Two distinct spaces, the wine bar and the shop, serve two different purposes, so it was important to convey that concept through the user experience. The shop is a place where people can browse products, listen to music and enjoy some wine whereas the wine bar features a full kitchen and menu where more casual and ample seating is offered. The website also needed to incorporate a fully functional e-commerce experience as well as a monthly wine club subscription model.
