What Makes This Place Special
Bold Reds
The winery emphasizes characterful reds such as Cabernet Franc and other structured varieties, with fans calling out these wines as standouts of their tasting trips.
Cozy Atmosphere
The tasting room has a contemporary but intimate design, with a focus on attentive, personal service and tapas-style bites that make the space feel welcoming and relaxed rather than cavernous or formal.
Events / Weddings
The visit/events information and structured club release events suggest they host special tasting events and food-pairing experiences, making it a destination for planned gatherings rather than only drop‑in tastings.
Family-Owned
Wines are crafted by one owner-winemaker while the grape growing and vineyard management are handled by another owner, creating a small, owner-driven operation that functions much like a family business.
Food Available
The tasting room features a tapas-style menu with wine-friendly small bites, plus gourmet chocolate and tinned seafood, making it a true food-and-wine experience rather than just a quick pour.
Good for Groups
The space is set up with multiple tables and can comfortably host groups, with the largest table seating six and guidance provided for larger parties to split into smaller groups.
Outdoor Seating
Guests can choose to taste outside as well, with outdoor seating available for enjoying flights and bites in the fresh air.
Private Tastings
They offer private tastings for two or more people outside normal operating hours, with hosted, one‑on‑one experiences led by team members like Jessica, Rachel, or Shae.
Upscale
With a boutique “luxury winery” positioning, curated tapas, gourmet chocolate, and imported tinned seafood, the experience leans toward a polished, high-end feel while still remaining approachable.
Wine Club
There is an active club with scheduled releases, special “Flights & Bites” pickup events, and discounts on wine and in‑house food, encouraging regular visits and deeper engagement.
Woman-Owned
Winemaking is led by a female owner and winemaker, with women also prominently featured in hospitality and club management roles.
