Please note:
You only need reservations if you are staying – carryout options are open and endless!
Guests will be able to visit during their scheduled time block. We recommend you arrive on time.
At the end of the reserved time block, we will ask all current guests to leave, so as to make room for us to clean, and then to welcome the next block of reserved guests.
Guests will be served outdoors. There is seating on the porch, deck and lawn. In case of rainy weather, all the porches are covered so guests can stay dry! Of course, if we get a blowing rain, we will have to be flexible – and guests may choose at that point to get their wine & food to go.
Guests may only enter the winery building to use the restroom.
When entering the building to use the bathroom, guests must wear a mask.
When ordering wine or interacting with winery staff, guests must wear masks.
Guests will need to practice social distancing of 6 feet or more and wear masks, when interacting with anyone not in their own party.
All tables will be 6 feet apart, and only 6 people may sit at a table.
Guests will be encouraged to use the hand sanitizing stations located around the property as needed.
Winery staff will be taking precautions to ensure guest safety, taking temperature checks before every shift, wearing masks, and washing hands frequently.
We ask that everyone remain flexible and patient as we adjust to our new business model and strive to serve you happily and safely.
Per State Law – no other alcohol except that produced by our winery is allowed on the premises.
We hope to see you soon, cheers!
