Lawn Bar
The Lawn Bar is an outdoor service area just outside of the tasting room doors that offers seating for guests to relax at while they enjoy their glasses of wine, Frosé, hard cider, and snack items. Reservations are not required and all group sizes are welcome. In the summer and fall, relax at a picnic table or Adirondack chair and take part in a game of cornhole. In the winter, fire pits warm the guests seated around them. Wine flights and cheese & charcuterie boards are not served in this location. Dogs are allowed as long as they remain leashed and are properly cared for. Learn more
