Most wineries have one patio. We have five.
Plus an indoor cellar tasting room. Pick your vibe — full sun on the vineyard, shade under a sail, hammocks in lavender, covered for a rainy day, or air conditioning amongst the barrels.
Five outdoor spaces, one indoor
Whether you want full sun on a wide-open vineyard patio, deep shade under a sail, hammocks in a lavender garden, a covered space for a rainy day, or air conditioning amongst the barrels — you have options. All five outdoor patios are wheelchair accessible, family-friendly, and dog-friendly.
1. Vineyard Patio (Capacity 70)
Our biggest space. Concrete patio overlooking the vineyard — close enough that you can reach out and touch the vines from some seats. Cabanas seat eight people each and the rest of the patio has umbrella-covered tables. Sunset here is spectacular.
- Best for: larger groups, sunset visits, full vineyard views, families with sandy beach feet
- Open: May through October (weather permitting)
- Dog-friendly: yes
2. Sail Garden Patio (Capacity 20)
Hot day refuge. The whole space is covered by a large shade sail and surrounded by lush lilies and clematis vines. Quieter and more private than the Vineyard Patio.
- Best for: hot summer days, smaller groups looking for shade and privacy
- Open: May through October (weather permitting)
3. Covered Wall Garden Patio (Capacity 24)
Fully covered patio amongst our cedar and mint garden. The smell alone is worth the visit. Open earlier and later in the season than the other outdoor spaces.
- Best for: rainy days, shoulder-season visits, anyone who'd rather not be in direct sun
- Open: March through November (weather permitting)
4. Lavender Garden Hammocks
Yes — hammocks. Real hammocks. Under a shaded pergola, surrounded by lavender. The breeze brings the scent to you. Not your standard winery seating arrangement.
- Best for: couples, solo visitors with a book, anyone who wants to actually relax
- Open: May through October (weather permitting)
5. Cellar Tasting Room (Indoor, Capacity 16)
Year-round space. Taste amongst the barrels and bottles. The only fully heated and air-conditioned space — the right call for a sweltering July afternoon, a freezing November visit, or a thunderstorm.
- Best for: peak weather extremes, intimate group tastings, year-round visits, off-season trips
- Open: Year-round

Saturday peak season note
From May 15 to October 15, we don't accommodate groups of 20+ or private events on Saturdays between 12pm and 5pm — that's prime walk-in time and we want everyone to get the table they came for.
