Dog Policy

Dog-Friendly Outdoor Patio and Lawn (during warm weather seasons)

Friendly, non-barking dogs are allowed on our patio and outdoors. We offer flights of wine (5 small glasses of wine) to take outside for you to enjoy at your leisure; they range from $12-40 per flight. We offer all our wines and hard ciders by the glass, ranging from $8-$15 per glass. And we offer cheese and cracker-type snacks to enjoy outdoors as well. Your dog would be allowed on the tours (link to vineyard tours) as well, since those are outdoors.

We sell wines with dogs on the label too! We love dogs.
