Frequently Asked Questions

Is Golden Hour a traditional tasting?

Do I need a reservation?

Walk-ins are welcome during Golden Hour hours.

Can I book a traditional tasting instead?

Absolutely. If you would prefer a seated tasting of our current releases, you can reserve our Signature Tasting instead and still enjoy the late-afternoon light.
