The Granite Bay location of The Mimosa House runs on a short clock. Its own page lists the hours as every day, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., at 6861 Douglas Blvd. That puts it in the Marketplace at Granite Bay, the center anchored by Raley's. The restaurant describes itself in a single line: "String-lit porch. Slow mornings. Quiet pours."
This Sunday, November 1, the string lights stay on past dark. From 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., the room hosts "A Night to Remember: Día de los Muertos," listed under the name of The Cuvée Club at The Mimosa House. That name has been attached to this space since August, when the family behind Mimosa House announced an after-hours champagne lounge. The lounge's regular evening service has no posted hours yet, so the first evening on the room's public calendar is a family night with an ofrenda, a kids' activity table and tickets for guests under 21.
For Wedgewood households who know this room as a Saturday-morning table, here is how that came about and what Sunday night includes.
The lounge that was announced for September
On August 11, the Sacramento Business Journal reported that the group behind Mimosa House planned to launch Cuvee Club in Granite Bay. The next day, WhatNow Sacramento added the details. Devin Dedier, culinary director of the Dedier Family Company, said the concept was targeting a mid-September opening once a run of outside commitments wrapped up.
WhatNow described the plan this way:
- Space: the same Granite Bay dining room, used once Mimosa House closes for the day
- Start time: 4:30 p.m., with a flexible closing time
- Drinks: French Champagne, Italian prosecco and domestic sparkling wines from regions such as Napa Valley
- Food: upscale, scratch-kitchen takes on what Dedier calls greasy spoon classics, including sandwiches, burgers and shareable plates such as loaded fries
Dedier told WhatNow he wanted a place casual enough for a T-shirt and shorts but still built around quality. According to WhatNow's summary of the Business Journal report, the concept could expand to the Curtis Park Mimosa House by fall if Granite Bay performs well, and a standalone Cuvee Club could come later.
The bubbles part of the plan is not new to this address. Mimosa House calls itself a family-owned brunch and champagne house with nine locations across the Sacramento region. Its current menu already lists bottles such as Krug Grand Cuvée Brut, Piper Heidsieck Brut Cuvée, Bollinger Brut Special Cuvée and Gloria Ferrer Carneros Cuvée. What the Cuvée Club plan adds is service after the 3 p.m. close.
Where the opening stands in late October
Style Magazine's October 2026 "What's Up?" roundup still listed Cuvée Club as opening soon. The magazine called it "the American diner, reborn" and described a chef-driven restaurant and champagne lounge with a hyper-local, scratch-made menu. You can read the item on Style Magazine's site.
The Cuvée Club's own website shows a storefront and patio under the tagline "Champagne Diner." It does not yet post hours or a menu. The Mimosa House Granite Bay page points to it, telling locals that "when brunch turns into a champagne kind of night, our family's champagne diner, The Cuvée Club, is right here in Granite Bay too." The only dated evening event either page lists is November 1.
Opening dates for kitchens and bar concepts slip often around here. The center's Día de los Muertos night is the first time the room's after-dark identity has a date, a time and tickets attached.
Sunday, November 1, hour by hour
The Ramos family and the Dedier family are hosting the night together. The event page on the Mimosa House site and the Eventbrite listing give the same timed schedule:
- 6:30 p.m., La Bienvenida. Doors open, with tostilocos and aguas frescas handed out at the door. Guests add their photos to the ofrenda.
- 7:30 p.m., La Fiesta. Tamales, live music and calavera face painting, plus an activities table for younger children.
- 8:15 p.m., Las Velas. The lights dim, the ofrenda candles are lit together and the room raises a toast. Street tacos follow.
- 8:45 p.m., La Despedida. Churros, Mexican hot chocolate and a carajillo, the spiced coffee cocktail, with conchas to take home.
The hosts describe the evening in their own words: "It isn't a sad night, and it isn't Halloween. It's a family reunion, the kind where everyone is invited, even the ones we've lost."
The ofrenda is at the center of the room. Guests are invited to bring a printed photo of someone they miss, whether a grandparent, a friend or a pet who was family, and to add it to the altar along with marigolds and candles. A small frame is welcome. The photo goes home with its owner at the end of the night.
The format is standing and mingling. Food comes around on trays, there is some seating around the room, and there are no assigned tables or courses.
What each ticket covers
Tickets are sold through Eventbrite, and the listed prices include a 20% gratuity for the staff.
| Adult, 21+ | Under 21 | |
|---|---|---|
| Base price | $75 | $20 |
| With 20% gratuity | $90 | $24 |
| Drinks | Three cocktails or spiked aguas frescas, plus plain aguas frescas all night | Aguas frescas all night |
| Food | Thirteen passed bites | Passed bites, from tostilocos to churros |
| Also included | Ofrenda spot, live music, face painting, mini concha to take home | Same, plus the kids' activities table |
Sales tax and Eventbrite fees are added at checkout, and extra drinks are sold at the bar.
The adult ticket's three drinks come from a list of four cocktails: the Cantarito del Más Allá, La Catrina, Mimosa de los Muertos and El Último Trago. The plain aguas frescas are horchata and pepino limón. The thirteen passed bites run from tostilocos, elote en vaso and taquito shooters through tamalitos and tacos de asada to churros con chocolate and a conchita.
A few house rules matter if you are bringing a group:
- ID at the door. Guests 21 and over show a valid ID and get a wristband for the bar.
- Allergens. The menu contains peanuts, dairy and wheat, and several bites are vegetarian. Allergies can be noted at checkout.
- Refunds and transfers. Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to a friend through Eventbrite up to 24 hours before the event. With a 6:30 p.m. Sunday start, the transfer window closes at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 31.
- Language. The FAQ answers "Do I need to speak Spanish?" with "Not a word."
The best-dressed contest, and the dress code behind it
The night includes a La Catrina and El Catrín Best Dressed Contest. First place wins a $500 gift card, second place $250 and third place $150. The cards work at any Dedier Family restaurant, which means every Mimosa House location and Vacanza Romana in El Dorado Hills.
The hosts also give a clear guide on what to wear. They suggest black, cream and marigold, and ask that outfits respect the tradition, since the evening is a celebration of family and memory and not Halloween. The face painter will be there for anyone who wants a sugar skull. The timing makes that guidance practical. Halloween falls the night before, and some of those costumes will still be hanging by the door on Sunday.
What the room's first night says about the champagne diner
The August announcement pictured a casual, adults-leaning lounge: bubbles, burgers, loaded fries and a 4:30 start. November 1 uses the same room, the same Cuvée Club name and an evening slot, but it is ticketed, timed and built around children and grandparents as much as the bar. The Granite Bay page closes its welcome with "Grizzlies families, coaches and teachers, this one is for you," and the event fits that line.
The Marketplace at Granite Bay already has other restaurant tenants: Sette Pasta House, Yoshi Ramen, Granite Bay Chinese Restaurant, Yummy Hot Chicken, Mountain Mike's Pizza, Beach Hut Deli, West Coast Sourdough, Chipotle Mexican Grill and World Traveler Coffee Roasters. A Mimosa House space that stays open after 3 p.m. adds a champagne-and-diner option to that list. When the regular hours are posted, they will show whether the lounge runs nightly or on select evenings. Until then, Sunday's 6:30 p.m. doors are the one evening on the calendar.
If you go, bring the printed photo, an ID for anyone ordering from the bar, and enough appetite for thirteen passed bites. The center has entrances on both Douglas Boulevard and Auburn-Folsom Road.
Changes like a brunch room picking up an evening crowd are what Stephen Golden watches along Douglas Boulevard, because they shape what life near Wedgewood feels like from one season to the next.
