Private Wine Tasting Experience
The Private Wine Tasting Experience is a formal and private tasting experience that begins with a tour touching on our vineyard, our grounds, and our production floor. After the tour, a short lesson on wines and wine tasting will be offered to you. During a private tasting, our guests are able to taste five of our award-winning wines. The wines are pre-selected by our winemaker for your group. Our private tastings are conducted by a dedicated wine educator. This experience includes a mixed platter of dry-cured meat and artisan cheese for you and your guests to enjoy during the tasting. The minimum number of guests at a private tasting is 10 people. The Barrel Room Experience is $25 per person. Advanced reservations are required.
