We want to give you the best service possible, so for groups of 8-15 you may come at anytime but know it is highly likely you might have to split up at the bar to get faster service and possibly sit separately on the deck as well (we do not have lots of group seating). Specifically groups of 16 or more we just cannot take. We do not have the space and cannot give good service. There are other wineries that have specific group areas and can accommodate you better.

  • Yes. Sulfites are a natural by‐product of the fermentation process. Otherwise known as sulfur dioxide, it is a compound that is naturally produced in winemaking and is found in virtually every wine. Our winemaker may add very small amounts of additional sulfites to the wine since it does alot to protect the wine. It inhibits unwanted bacteria and yeast growth. It is also an antioxidant, which keeps the wine fresh. Sulfites slow the oxidation process, helping preserve the wine’s flavor as it ages. All wines made from fruit (including grapes) naturally contain sulfites. Only meads – wines made from honey – are sulfite-free.

    The TTB, Alcohol & Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (formerly the BATF, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms), requires that no more than 300 ppm (parts per million) or 0.03% of sulfites, be added to wines. Our generally contain about 30 ppm, or 10% of the legal limit.
