CANCELLING OR REDUCING THE NUMBER OF GUESTS LESS THAN SEVEN DAYS PRIOR TO THE RESERVATION DATE FOR ANY REASON WILL RESULT IN 100% CHARGE OF THE FULL RESERVATION. FOR GROUPS OF TEN OR MORE GUESTS, THE DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE.

Tasting wine is a sensory experience, including the sense of smell. Cologne and perfume can have an adverse effect on you and your party's tasting experience, and on the experience of other guests visiting the winery. Please refrain from wearing cologne, perfume, and other heavy scents when embarking on your wine tour. Lipstick and lip gloss can also have an detrimental effect on your tasting experience.

​Wineries are pre-selected based on the size and nature of reservations, winery availability, holidays, special events, and other factors.
