  • Every Charcuterie Picnic is accompanied by a delightful bottle of wine. However, we do offer non-alcoholic options for purchase at our onsite winery retail shop as well.

  • We love kids! Our Charcuterie Picnic experiences are crafted for adults, but if you have children you would like to bring along, please do. As this is a working farm and a winery, we do ask that you supervise your children at all times and help to ensure they allow for a positive experience for other picnic guests.
