Join us for regular Golden Hour Thursday through Sunday, or make a plan for Golden Hour Fridays, our monthly first-Friday gathering with wine, small bites, and music by a local DJ.

Regular Golden Hour

Featured pours, Thursday through Sunday

Golden Hour is our late-afternoon featured-pour window, created for guests who want a relaxed glass or bottle without committing to a full tasting.

Wine by the glass, bottle, and tasting options remain available during regular tasting room hours. During Golden Hour Fridays, we shift into a casual gathering format with wines by the glass and bottle rather than hosted tastings.

Golden Hour pricing applies to select featured pours during Golden Hour and cannot be combined with club discounts or other offers.

Regular Hours

Thursday–Sunday
3–5 PM

Select glasses starting at $10, with bottles available to enjoy on-site or take home.

From the Kitchen

Small bites for slow sipping

Golden Hour Fridays feature a limited selection of pantry-style bites from the Hamilton kitchen, built to pair naturally with late-afternoon wine.

The menu may shift by month, but the spirit stays the same: simple, wine-friendly, and made for sharing.

House Favorite

Citrus Fennel Olives

Lindsay’s bright, savory olives with citrus, fennel, and a wine-country snack-board feel.

From Greg

Smoked Almonds

Greg’s house-smoked almonds, made for slow sipping and easy conversation.

Limited Plate

Golden Hour Pantry Plate

Citrus fennel olives, smoked almonds, seasonal cheese, crackers, and a rotating kitchen accent.

The Mood

A little slower, a little softer, very Kenwood
