Posted Saturday hours are 11 AM–6 PM, with the last tasting at 5 PM. Most Sundays are noon–5 PM by call-ahead confirmation.

The public beer-and-wine bar posts Saturday hours of noon–10 PM and Sunday closed. Food trucks and music follow their own schedules.
Choose a designated driver or hired transportation if anyone will be tasting; never drive impaired. A non-Saturday selected date keeps all three stops and shows a warning. It does not reserve a tasting or imply every venue is open.
