Policies...
1. It’s the Law: For the safety of everyone, always consume responsibly. We will exercise the right to deny service to any visibly intoxicated person.

2. Tasting Room Etiquette: Always conduct yourself in a way that is respectful of the rules of the house, and the rights of others to enjoy their wine tasting experience.

3. It’s a Tasting, not a Drinking. You will be poured small samples, so please don’t ask to filler’ up! Make use of your dump buckets, and if you plan on swallowing, plan on having a designated driver.

4. Children in the Tasting Rooms. The Tasting room is an adult experience that takes place on working farms, active processing facilities, and busy parking lots: If you do choose to bring a child, you will be required to not leave them unaccompanied at any time.

5. Buses, Limosines and Group Visits can not always be Accommodated by some Wineries! Groups of six or more are asked to call, a minimum of 48 hours in advance, to receive verification that the wineries your group would like to visit can accommodate you. For details, please view: Group Visits to the BVWT
