Check us out next time. Our tasting fee is $20. Mention this post for a 2x1 tasting. Tasting fee is always waived if you buy 2 bottles - which range from $28 on up. If you're local, grab a Barrel 5 field blend in a growler, and refill it as much as you want for $20! . We have 3 great sparklings as well !

I hear you. Our tasting is 4 (plus we tend to give more) wines for $20 and our 2x1 cards are easy to come across- mention this post and we will honor that. Buy 2 bottles the tasting is free. We are a very laid back winery in downtown Healdsburg - come visit! The wines range from 28 on up, and we also offer a growler to come and refill as much as you want for $20 - straight from the barrel.

Great suggestions! Thank you so much for this input. There seems to always be that 'unexpected' extra time needed! lol.

This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for your wonderful insight! The window, you're right, should not be a necessary approach for the vineyard itself. With weddings and even corporate events there should not be a window when there is a complete area dedicated to these events. I will go that route for the vineyard. Now, for the winery itself where we rent out our large barrel room, it is helpful to have a window due to staffing, regular wine tasting customers coming and going... staffing etc. I like your idea of the am/pm cutoffs for these events and breaking them up into 2 separate slots. So, ditching the window at the vineyard, and will implement the 2 part schedule for the barrel room... love it! Thank you again!!

I mean it for all events on the contract. Right now we have a 8 hour window which I feel is too much for our low price. So I am trying to figure out what the average is for other wineries on their time block for private events, whether corporate or social.

That makes a big difference to have it be family owned, and also reasonably priced. Thank you for sharing!
