Enjoy Our Outdoor Patio!
Norm, Cooper and I are hosting our wine tastings outside to be compliant with the Governor's COVID-19 mandate and for everyone's safety. We've integrated "barrel tasting" seats, James Wolfe sculpture and flowers. Katie Bridges is also making guest appearances and you can purchase her artwork, Katie Marie Artistry, at the tasting room.
Reservations are recommended but are not required. Please arrive with a mask on. When you are seated, you will be allowed to remove your mask. Please respect social distancing guidelines of 6-feet spacing.
