The Vintner’s Lounge- Relaxation Central
The hours of operation listed at the bottom of the page are for the Vintner’s Lounge. It is open seven days per week, at this time. Special events happening in our Main Hall may take place outside of the Vintner’s Lounge hours.
What to Expect When You Arrive:
Parking is down the hill, outside of the lounge. This is beyond the main parking lots. Please follow the white signs to get you to the right place.
The Lounge is first come, first serve seating. We offer relaxing chairs, couches, sit down tables, high top tables and a large standing table, inside. During optimal weather, outdoor seating is also available in the garden area, on the terrace, and on the lawn.
We offer tastings and food, ordered cafe-style, which means you will need to order everything you would like at the counter. Sit down service is generally not offered, especially during busy times. Menus and tasting sheets are available at the counter, as well. Once you place your order, we will get you your drinks right then, and bring your food to you when it is ready. Having said all of this, we promise to take good care of you while you’re with us!
We realize that not everyone is a wine drinker, which is why we offer some alternative beverages. We have a rotating, local-ish craft beer list for those who enjoy a brewski here and there, and we offer MANY non-alcoholic options, as well. We have lemonade, house brewed iced tea, coffee, most sodas, juices and water. There is NEVER an expectation or pressure to drink any kind of alcohol while you’re with us, and we feel it is important that you know that. Come and enjoy yourself in whatever way you wish!
The entrance to the Vintner’s Lounge is in the back, below the main hall.
