In response to the current situation, we are returning to requiring masks for all guests who don’t have a glass in hand.We are also asking that unvaccinated visitors consider our To Go Tasting Flight. If/When Kenosha County reaches RED, we will return to only offering To Go Flights for our sampling option.
We find this at least as frustrating as you do, but must again take action to protect ourselves, our crew, and to not host needless risk (even when others are willing to accept that risk.)
Starting Sat. May 1, we are opening for our Tasting Room Season. We’ll be doing limited tastings inside, and carry-out flights in good weather. We have all our small batch ciders for the year – they won’t last long. Mask up and come see us.
We’re now in our winter hibernation. We won’t be keeping regular hours, but you may call/message and set up an appointment for us to meet you at the winery.
This year we can also ship ciders (but not spirits). Check the ‘Compliant Shipping’ page.
We’ve had a run on Blackbird Berried Cider and Apple Brandy.
The Blackbird is now gone from the Tasting Room – but available through retailers. I can help you find one. Apple Brandy isn’t gone from the TR, but there’s more in distribution.
We are very low on: Appely Brut, Apple Brandy We are merely low on: Summers End Apple Wine, Sparrow Spiced Cider
Reminder: Winter Shipping Sale Coupon: WINTER20. Through March.
We’ve decided to stop Tasting Room tastings for the remainder of our season. No one is telling us to lock back down – we feel it’s the prudent thing to do. We’ll still be there Saturdays and Sundays until Dec. 20th, weather permitting for packaged sales pickup.
As a reminder, this is the last week we will have scheduled weekday hours.
After All Saints Day (Nov 1), if you’d like to visit us midweek, you’ll need to contact us ahead of time to arrange a mutually agreeable appointment.
Also, as we enter our Early Winter Hours, after Nov 1, we’ll be closing at 4pm, rather than 5. It gets dark out here in the country – especially after the switch back to Standard Time.
In order to comply with Emergency Order #3, we are returning to our Code RED plan.
Our restricted operating plan:
We are asking that all tastings be the 6 for $5 To Go Tastings. We will be a little flexible (1-2 at the bar), but please work with us.
Also, please pick up a Tasting Sheet and/or Flight Idea Guide and make your selections before coming up to the bar.
Please have non-tasters wait outside, including under-21s not being carried and people ‘just looking’. We’re trying really hard to limit exposure – and you wouldn’t bring children to a bar, would you?
We received a lot of calls for reservations today (Friday 9/25) and I just wanted to clarify – we aren’t taking reservations. We tried it – it didn’t work.
If it gets really busy on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, we’ll do a waitlist with text-back notification.
And a reminder – we can’t do groups bigger than 7 right now. If you’ve got a big group, a subset may come in to get Take Out Flights for the rest.
And if I can figure out where it says to call us for reservations, I’ll try to get it fixed.
