  • Maintain 6 feet or more from people that are not in your party, especially if you are in the que to be seated or in line for the bathroom.
  • All tasting will be outside. Employees only allowed inside the winery.
  •  Flights of wine for tasting will be pre-selected by Denis every day.
  • The wines will be brought out to you in a flask with the right amount of wine for your party (pour the wines yourself family-style!)
  • You can still ask questions and interact with us, that is the fun part of wine-tasting! We will maintain proper spacing as we talk
