How Vision, Vino, and a Woman-Owned Mission Shaped Ada’s Most Elegant Gathering Place
In the heart of Ada, Michigan, a European-style wine bar is turning heads and topping group chats. Welcome to The Lark—an elegant, women-forward destination brought to life by majority owner May Graceffa, alongside Chef and General Manager Greg Kellermeier and Certified Specialist of Wine Jeremy Jurewicz.
Nestled in downtown Ada, The Lark isn’t your average wine bar. It's an experience—no TVs (THANK YOU!), no rush, just cozy corners, velvet banquettes, and a carefully curated wine selection designed to surprise and delight. The space was created intentionally, with women in mind—an elevated place to gather, sip, and savor.
Greg oversees the culinary direction and vibe, ensuring every detail feels intentional and elevated. Jeremy selects each bottle in the carry-out shop and on the menu, balancing familiar favorites with adventurous pours. His goal? To help guests feel confident trying something new.
From wine, women, and chocolate nights to champagne tastings and spontaneous “on a lark” visits, this spot represents everything we love about West Michigan: hospitality, community, and a little bit of sparkle.
Whether you’re planning a dreamy date night, your next girls’ night out, or just want to explore something new—The Lark is your next stop.
