POLICY:  Because of the large number of people wishing to enjoy the  Entertainment, the number of no-shows has caused some seating problems.  Therefore, we will no longer hold a reservation past 5PM.  If you are not at your table by 5PM, we will give your table to someone else.  If you make a reservation and the number in your party decreases, we will greatly appreciate hearing from you ahead of time. This will allow us to seat more people for the Entertainment.  Also, if you bring food, please keep it on the table where you're sitting.  Seating is too limited to allow a separate table for food.  We thank you in advance for your cooperation with our attempts to make the Entertainment an enjoyable experience for as many people as possible.

 PLEASE NOTE:  From 4PM to 8PM on Sundays, pop and water will be $3.25 w/tax per can/bottle. 

We open at 1PM on Sunday, and close at 8PM.

Please keep in mind that NO BEVERAGES (including water and pop) that have not been purchased here are allowed in the Winery, or on our grounds.  We reserve the right to inspect coolers.

Hot Dog Roasts

September 17 (Friday)

6:30PM to 8:00PM

What better way to spend a Summer evening that burning hot dogs over an open fire?   It brings back such wonderful childhood memories - or creates new adulthood ones! 

The fire will be ready at 6:30PM, and the food will be out until 8:00PM .

The cost this year will still be $3.75, tax included, per person.    This price includes all the hot dogs and fixings you care to eat, potato salad, chips and dip, and the fixings for S'mores!  Reservations and prepayment are due no later than two days before the roast, please.  Hope to see you here!
 

There will be more Hot Dog Roasts all season, so check back regularly.  Better yet, sign up for my electronic newsletter and get all the news on a regular basis.  Just use the Join Our E-Newsletter List link on the Home page.

Dog Days at the Winery

Don't have a dog?  Maybe you can find one here!  Several pet rescue agencies (Rose's Rescue, Northcoast Doberman Rescue, and Golden Retrieves in Need of Rescue) will be here to help you find the perfect companion.  You could change two lives - yours and a rescued pet!  There will be a 50/50 raffle as well as a silent auction of gift baskets to help the rescues.

While you're at it, treat yourself to one of our award-winning wines and a great light meal from our menu!  (No admission fee.)
