Seating Times:

5:30 and 6pm is $59 per person including tax & gratuity
6:30, 7pm, 8:15 is $69 per person including tax & gratuity

Attendance is by ticket only.  Click here to purchase tickets. 
Tickets are available online only.  

The wineries of Small Vineyards use traditional sustainable methods, hand harvest almost exclusively and focus on maintaining traditional grape varieties. The largest winery we buy from Small Vineyards is 25,000 cases and most are under 10,000. In the world of corporate winemaking {which we fight against so much}, these quantities are just spillage!

Smucker Farms is our partner store if you want to buy these wines after the dinner.

So please join us and taste the difference passion makes.

Menu & wines subject to change due to availability

We do our wine dinners in seatings, with the earlier seating being discounted for time of day. By serving in smaller groups, we avoid the long waits between courses that happen when you try and serve 50 or 60 people at once. And Jody and I will circulate and talk about the wines & food {and particle physics if you wish!}
