frequently asked questions

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. 

Do you require reservations for experiences?
Reservations aren’t required but are highly recommended, especially Friday through Sunday which are our busiest days.

How do I make a reservation for an experience?
Reservations can easily be made online or by calling 707-939-3017, 9am-5pm for personal assistance any day of the week. Our hours of operation are 11pm- 5:30pm Thursday-Monday. Your reservation will be confirmed via email. We are happy to extend all guests a 15 minute grace period after the reserved time before the reservation is canceled. Please call if you are running late.

I’m a Collective member, do I need to make a reservation?
We recommend making reservations so we can give you the best experience. However, you’re always welcome to drop by and we will do our best to accommodate!

How many people can you accommodate for an experience or tasting?
We accommodate groups of up to 8 people for our Signature Tasting Experience. For groups larger than 8, please reach out to our private events team at info@abbotspassage.com

Are children allowed at the winery and can they come on a tour?
We’re thrilled to welcome guests of all ages to Abbot’s Passage! If you’re bringing someone under 21, please ensure they’re accompanied by an adult. Kids of all ages are always welcome to join our tasting experiences and most events. While we don’t charge a tasting fee for children, for seating purposes, we might need to include older kids in our headcount. Additionally, please note that for safety reasons, children must be at least 12 for our tour experiences. Children on tours will be charged 50% of the adult price. Also please note that due the nature of our working winery, those under 18 must always be with their party. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to hosting your family!

Are pets allowed?
We absolutely adore our furry friends here at AP. We welcome well-behaved pups on leashes to join in on the fun for tastings. We ask that you keep your dogs home for tours and events. To ensure everyone’s enjoyment, we kindly ask that all dogs remain on a leash held by an adult during their visit. If any doggos are feeling a bit too rambunctious and start causing a ruckus, we may have to politely ask them and their humans to take a breather. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation in keeping our space enjoyable for everyone, both human and canine alike!

Can we bring a picnic to your property?
Unfortunately no, we offer a wide variety of food offerings for purchase.

Do you allow large groups on property?
Yes! For groups larger than 8, please reach out to info@abbotspassage.com or submit a request via our event form here. For our regular Signature tasting experiences, we can sit a max of 8 per table. We strongly recommend booking groups larger than 8 with our private events team as we can’t guarantee that multiple Signature tasting groups booked together can sit next to each other.

What is your cancellation policy?
We ask that you please cancel 24 hours before your reservation to avoid cancellation fees. Fees vary based on experience booked. We understand your travel plans may change, please call us to cancel your reservation as soon as you can to avoid incurring fees. If you need to update your party size or adjust your time, please cancel your existing reservation and rebook.

Do you offer shipping promotions or wine discounts?
We are so glad you asked. To get the best deal on our wines, we suggest joining our Collective where our members receive 15-20% off wines and merchandise. If you’re not a club type of person, subscribe to our email list for the latest and greatest offers delivered to your inbox

What is the fee for non-drinkers? Do you need to include non-drinkers in the party’s headcount?
Non-drinkers will not be charged while attending a tasting but will be charged 50% for tours. Please make the reservation for the number of people in your group. Once you arrive, you can let your host know who will or not be partaking in drinking wine. Those that are not drinking will not be charged a tasting fee.
