Somers residents Rich and Jeanne Credidio established 12 Grapes in April of 2008. They named the restaurant after the harvest celebration tradition and the 12 reds and whites served by the glass.
The restaurant is Zagat rated, has an extensive wine list and is known locally for its music. From Thursday to Sunday each week, there is blues, rock and 12 Grape's "Unplugged Sundays." In addition, the restaurant also hosts an 18-piece swing band once a month on Mondays.
In 2009, 12 Grapes won Westchester Magazine's Editor's Pick for the Best New Live Music Spot. In 2010, 12 Grapes was also selected by the magazine for the Best Place for Date Night.
