Tastings

We have wine tastings every Friday night and Saturday afternoon!

Friday tastings: These are seated and more in-depth; held in a smaller, quieter setting with a guided tasting format. Reservations are required due to limited seating.

Saturday tastings: These are casual and walk-in friendly; guests stand while tasting and follow along with a printed sheet as each wine is poured. No reservations are needed.
