Each reservation is for up to 2 hours from your reservation start time. Guests will be notified by the staff when they are reaching the end of their time as a courtesy.

If you book more than one table/cabana reservation at a time, we cannot guarantee that your table/cabana locations will be situated next to/close to each other. Please contact us directly and we will attempt to make the appropriate arrangements.   

Cabana reservations are for a maximum of 6 guests. If you would like a reservation for more than 6 guests, you will need to call the winery directly and speak with the Event Coordinator.

If you wish to make a reservation for a larger group of more than 12 guests, it will need to be booked in advance and through our Event Coordinator and may only be available at specific times.

Music Weekend Reservations require an additional cover charge ($5/pp for tables & $15/pp for Cabanas). This fee includes a stemless souvenir glass for all non-Vintner’s Club reservations.
