FAQs
Can I call to make a reservation?
Feel free to call or text us anytime at (805) 704-3135 to make a reservation — we’d love to host you!
Do you accommodate large groups?
For groups larger than 8, please reach out to us directly so we can make sure to accommodate your group comfortably.
Do I need to book ahead?
Reservations are recommended but not required. We do accept walk-ins when space allows — but since we’re a small, family-run winery, there are times when we may step out if no tastings are booked. To make sure we’re here and ready for you, it’s always best to book ahead or give us a quick call or text at (805) 704-3135. We’d hate to miss you!
Can I cancel my reservation?
Yes, we know things come up! Just please cancel at least 24 hours ahead to get a full, free refund.
Can we bring our dog?
Absolutely — we’re pet-friendly! Pups are always welcome as long as they’re well-behaved and on a leash.
How long is the tasting experience?
We don’t run on a strict schedule like some wineries. Tastings usually last 60 to 90 minutes, but we like to keep things easygoing and personal. No back-to-back appointments here — just good wine, good conversation, and time to enjoy it all. Most days, the winemaker is the one pouring, and we’re always happy to answer questions or share stories. We treat you like family — and you’re welcome to stay as long as you’re having a good time.
What wines will we taste?
You’ll enjoy six pours from our handcrafted estate wines — typically one white and a selection of small-lot reds. Prefer all reds? Just let us know — we’ve got you.
Is this a seated tasting?
Yes, all tastings are seated. You’ll have your own table either on our shaded outdoor patio or inside the barrel room, depending on weather and your preference.
How do I confirm my reservation?
After you submit your request, you will recieve an automated message and reminder.
Can I buy wine by the glass?
Yes, we offer wines by the glass. Just ask during your tasting for pricing and options.
Do you offer food?
We don’t serve food, but you’re welcome to bring your own picnic to enjoy in our designated picnic areas after your tasting.
Can we bring food?
Yes! We have picnic areas where you’re welcome to enjoy your own food after your tasting. You can also buy a bottle or a glass of wine to sip while you picnic. Please wait until after your tasting to start your picnic.
What if the weather’s bad?
No worries — we have both indoor and outdoor tasting areas. Depending on the season, we’ll find the best spot for you to enjoy your tasting comfortably.
Do you have wheelchair access?
Yes, we strive to accommodate all guests. Please contact us if you have specific needs.
Are children allowed?
We’ve got plenty of space for them to run around and have fun — but the wine is just for the grown-ups.
