Tasting room manager Jordana says this:
” I’d be happy to give your group their first glass on us, then 20% off bottles in house or to-go. We won’t be able to do tastings for that large of a group bit of course if they want a little taste or two to decide what to have that’s always fine!”
There is also a choice of 2 charcuterie plates that we can purchase to share.
Click to see/download the WINE TASTING MENU.
RSVP will be requested so venue can set up for us. More details about the session will be posted when known.
