While we are not currently conducting our weekly tastings, we are offering tasting opportunities, which are reservation-only occasions. Please see our emails, social media pages and our Events page for upcoming tastings and to reserve your space.
We also encourage you to make your own tastings from our Wine Stations. We offer a frequently-changing selection of six red wines, a white wine and a dry rosé in our two stations. Simply purchase a prepaid card, then select the size pour you want (1 ounce, 2 ounce or five- ounce glass pour). This option is available any time we are open, and we offer Happy Hour in the Wine Stations from 4:30 until 6:00 PM each day with all pours half price.
We have some prepackaged snacks available; you are also welcome to bring in your own food or carry out to enjoy in our spacious rooms or deck.

Water Tower Fine Wines Tasting: Two more Italian Values & a 10 Year Tawny Port Closeout!
August 22, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - August 27, 2023 @ 7:00 pm
Water Tower Fine Wines Tasting: Two more Italian Values & a 10 Year Tawny Port Closeout!
For the next couple of weeks our featured wines will be a couple of fun Italian reds and a great dessert wine (people have been asking!).
One of the Italians is an Aglianico from Campania in south central Italy. This is a lesser known bold and full-bodied red that is great with food but can be enjoyed on its own as well.
We will also offer a Ripasso from Veneto in Northeastern Italy. This style of wine is sometimes referred to as a baby Amarone since it is made by re-passing Valpolicella wine through the crush skins used to make Amarone, giving the Valpolicella richer, more full bodied flavor.
Finally, we will offer for the first time as a feature in our wine stations–a dessert wine (which I love). We will offer a slightly drier style 10-year Tawny Port. All these wines are nicely discounted and would be great for the transition to cooler fall temperatures. Stop in and check them out!
