The tasting room is open seven days a week, and wine club members receive complimentary tastings for themselves and up to three guests. Club shipments, bi-monthly and priced from $68.77 to $150 for two bottles, feature hand-selected wines like 2022 FR Syrah, 2023 Ecclesia, and 2023 Tank 15. The winery also offers custom label service, a seasonal restaurant, and events such as the Vine to Bottle Harvest Dinner.

What should I order?: Begin with the Brut or rosé, both described as crisp and fantastic by customers. For reds, the 2022 FR Syrah (100% Syrah) and the 2023 Ecclesia blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Sirah, Sangiovese, and Tannat are strong club selections. The 2025 Moscato and Sparkling Watermelon offer lighter, fruit-forward options.
