CHILDREN AT THE WINERY

Please know we do not encourage or discourage children at the winery. We have, however, learned from several customers who are parents of young children that they have been more relaxed and enjoyed our venue and amenities more when they were able to get away for an adult experience. We are an adult entertainment destination and are not designed for young children. So in the spirit of children's safety and the enjoyment of those around you, we have developed some rules and recommendations, which the parent(s) or guardian(s) is responsible for, if you choose to bring young well behaved children to our venue.

RAIN

All our events are RAIN OR SHINE, as the pavilion has sides that can be pulled down and the band and food are all here Rain or Shine as well. Many customers like rain days because they feel like they have their own personal little party. We do reserve the right, however, to cancel an event or ask everyone to leave if there is dangerous weather conditions approaching.

If you have handicap needs for one of our concerts, please be sure to let us know when buying your tickets so we can accommodate, as seats are assigned for most concerts. For our free music events with open seating there is no need to inform us.
