We're delighted that you are interested in visiting our family owned winery. Each day we offer a variety of tastings and one daily tour to give you an inside look on how we craft our fine wine.
All of our tastings and tours are by appointment. They are conducted in various venues around the winery—in barrel rooms, in the fermentation room and occasionally alongside the vineyard or on a patio when production schedule and weather permits. Please be prepared to walk through our working winery and dress warmly in case your tasting is in our cellar. Most tastings are conducted while standing, some are held in seated venues. Please call ahead to make an appointment; weekends and holidays book quickly, up to several days in advance.
We are a smoke-free environment for our guests and employees. This aligns with our fragrance-free and health & wellness goals for our business. The best environment in which to enjoy your wine tasting is one that is free from odors that interfere with appreciating all our wines have to offer. Thanks for your support of our smoke-free environment.
We have 6 Visitor Center experiences for you to choose from; please call us to make an appointment for one of these tastings:

wine food pairing. Our Resident Chefs create four fabulous
recipes each season, using the freshest ingredients from
our very own Cakebread garden. Guests are guided through

the components of the wine and food which create an Epicurean
harmony. This understanding will allow you to fully appreciate
