Please understand that we are a working winery, not a rental facility.  We allow customers to rent our space during specific hours only, but our priority is being open for our winery business and we will therefore only close our business for a full day wedding event rental.  Other rental requests will only be allowed during the hours listed in this agreement.

RENTAL FEES

Rental fees only include use of the rooms or space rented.  
There is a two hour minimum for all rentals.
The room rate is $100 for the first two hours, and $50 per hour for each hour or portion of an hour beyond the minimum.  Hourly rate is figured for any portion of an hour.  For example, if you request a two hour rental from 5 - 7 pm, but the persons in your party come to decorate at 4:15 pm and the clean-up is completed at 7:30 pm, you will be charged for 4 hours instead of 2.
A non-refundable deposit of $50 must be paid at the time of booking and will be applied to the rental fee.  
Your event is not scheduled until the deposit is paid and this agreement has been returned.  
A credit card must be placed on file at the time of booking and will only be used if the balance is not paid at the end of the event.  Final payment of the rental and the cost of wine and food consumption must be paid for immediately upon the conclusion of the event.
The only option for a Saturday rental is for a full day/wedding event.   The fee for this rental is $1000.  A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required at the time of booking.  The deposit will be applied to the rental fee.  We require at least 30 days notice to book this type of event. Final payment for the rental fee is due 7 days prior to the event.  Wine and food consumption must be paid for immediately upon the conclusion of the event.

ROOM CAPACITY

Seating for 24 is available in the tasting room.   
Seating for 38 - 50 is available on the patio.   
Seating for up to 64 chairs/tables is available on the lawn.   At this time, we do not have extra tables and chairs, so you would need to provide them.

WINE TASTING

Complimentary wine tasting of 5 flavors will be offered to your guests.
