From the day we opened the winery in 2004 we always encouraged everyone to bring a picnic to our place and enjoy our wines with whatever foods you wish to prepare for yourself. Some have taken this to a high art by bringing elaborate picnics which can rival anything a caterer can create. Others tried to expand the concept beyond what is permissible.
We do allow food on the premises BUT we don’t allow drinks of any type. Why not? First we are winery and our license is restricted to allow customers to consume on our premises only what we produce. Second we are in a dry county. And third… would you go to a restaurant and bring your own food? Probably no. Would you go to a bar and bring your own drinks? I don’t think so either. Well… we manufacture and sell wine so we don’t allow any type of alcoholic drinks except our own. We used to allow customers to bring soft drinks and water. But after a few sleek people tried to bring rum and whiskey inside their soft drink cups we decided that all drinks (soft and hard) will not allowed at the winery. It protects our license and it protects our investment.
We would love for everyone to come and enjoy our place and the products that we create. However, for those that insist on bringing their own drinks we can suggest other places they may wish to support others than ours.
