Tastings
We are currently closed for tastings until Spring of 2022. Please email info@stoneboatvineyards.com to set up an appointment if you'd like to make a purchase in our wineshop until then.
During the regular season, we offer two tasting experiences to get to know us and our wines:
Quick & Casual - $5* (complimentary for Pinot Club members)
Join us at the tasting bar for a casual 15-20 minute tasting that includes a selection of 4 of our wines.
Premium Seated Tasting - $10* (complimentary for Pinot Club members)
A more intimate outdoor experience with plenty of time to ask questions and chat with us. Join us for a 30-45 minute seated tasting under our patio vines that will include a selection of 5 of our wines, including one of our coveted reserves.
*Tasting fees are not waived with purchase at this time.
Many of our tastings will be conducted outdoors on our covered patio and breezeway. Although we do have propane heaters as well as fans, we recommend dressing for the weather.
We look forward to welcoming you!
Please take a moment to read our safety policy and instructions below.
COVID-19 Safety
**Updated September 13, 2021 due to new provincial health orders**
PROOF OF VACCINATION
Starting Monday September 13, we will be requiring all guests tastings to show proof of vaccination, either through the QR code, or the paper copy you received when you got your vaccine. If you’re only stopping in to make a purchase, proof of vaccination is not necessary.
Our team has worked so hard over the last 18 months to keep our community safe. They’ve adapted to new rules, dealt with partial and full shut downs, spent extra time cleaning, worn masks for 8+ hours, and have gone above and beyond what they were asked to do, for you.
Us following this new law is what we need to do to keep our team employed, our community healthy, and our doors open.
Instead of taking your frustrations out on our team, please send any questions, concerns and feedback directly to our general manager at levi@stoneboatvineyards.com.
