Drinks & Nightlife
From their website: "Our tap room is open six days a week for you to stop by at your leisure. But if you want to have some seriously fun wine knowledge dropped on you for 60 minutes, book a tour. We’ll take an hour of your time and guide you through five wines (and some barrels if you select the barrel tasting). It’s a chance to really dive in and learn more about our wines, what foods pair best them with, and all other info you might possibly want to know."
