On the weekend we offer an informative tour

highly-acclaimed fruit wines, brandies and distillates. Our friendly,
knowledgeable staff specializes in providing our guests with a unique glimpse of
the winemaking process.
Our tours conclude with a tasting of four
wines selected by our staff plus 2 additional selections from standard wines.
The tour includes a commemorative wine glass for you to take home.
Premium wines and
and ports may carry an additional fee.
Reservations are not required and a small
fee of $7.00 per person (21 years of age and older) is charged. Under 21 years

PRIVATE GROUP TOURS
Private tours are available on
weekdays ONLY (Monday through Friday) from
11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Reservations are required
and must be booked at least 7 days in advance. In
addition, reservations are subject to our production schedule. The cost is
as follows:
1 to 30 people - $240.00
31 to 40 people - $8.00 per person is
required
Groups greater than 40 will be split into
two or more groups but will still incur a charge of $8.00 per person.
You should allow approximately one
hour for your group's visit. For groups in excess of 40, you should plan
an additional ½ hour for each additional tour. This will provide adequate time
for the tour, wine sampling, browsing and shopping at the Wine Shoppe. Depending
on the season, you may choose to extend your visit to include lunch in our
rustic farm house restaurant, a barbecue in our outdoor pavilion, or a picnic
lunch to go from our restaurant
J's, pick your own
fruit (July through October), or just delight in the scenery. Weekend tours are
open to the general public. Because weekends are very busy, we are unable to
schedule private tours or guarantee time and space availability for "walk-in"
group tours. Each private group tour includes a commemorative Nashoba Valley
wine glass for each guest to take home. The minimum non-refundable private group
tour fee of $240.00 must be paid in advance by check or major credit card
(American Express, VISA or MasterCard) to guarantee your reservation. The
remaining balance is due at the start of your tour.
