All other areas on the property will be first-come, first-served. Table reservations are available for 3-hour blocks from 3-6 pm or 6-9 pm, starting May 2.

  • Firepits are available by reservation, and now you can reserve them for free! Starting April 28th, bookings will be open. We offer two types of firepits: gas (all ages) and wood (21+). If you choose a wood firepit and want it lit, you’ll need to purchase a wood bundle for $25 at the time of booking your reservation, which includes the wood and a staff member to start the fire. Firepits will be a 3-hour long reservation. Please note each wood bundle will burn approximately 1 ½ hrs. depending on weather. A 6-Person Charcuterie Board for $75 and/or a 6-Person “When I Dip You Dip” Party Dip Platter for $55 can be added on at the time of booking. There is no service at the firepits, so you’ll need to order food and drinks at one of the windows or counters. Matt Stell & Uncle Kracker firepits will have a service fee, with full service and wood included.

    “When I Dip You Dip” Party Dip Platter: Salsa, Guac and Cowboy Caviar Dip with tortilla chips. *Cowboy Dip- black beans, corn, peppers, onion, garlic, jalapeno, tomatoes with ranch seasoning.

    Firepits can be reserved here.

  • For both of our locations, we welcome the entire family at Country Heritage Winery, no matter how young! However, we do have some rules for everyone to follow to ensure safety. In accordance with the law, anyone under 21 must be accompanied by a parent. Children must never be unaccompanied, within arm's reach of parent. In addition, children cannot be running around the property, through the vineyards, or on our landscaping features. We encourage bringing board games, but absolutely no footballs, soccer balls, or any other kinds of balls.

    Individuals under 21 cannot be at our Wood-Burning Firepits, Igloos, or at our Tasting Counters. The Backroads Stillhouse and the new outdoor Courtyard next to the Stillhouse are restricted to 21+ guests only.

    Your cooperation with these guidelines will ensure that we can continue to be a family-friendly destination.

  • In accordance with FDA and Board of Health regulations, we cannot allow outside food, beverages, or containers of any kind on the premises. This includes coffees (Starbucks, etc.), water bottles purchased elsewhere, personal water bottles or containers, thermoses, juice, milk, snacks, coolers, and the like. We do have a selection of snacks, water bottles, and Coca-Cola products available for purchase every day.

    Even if you have dietary restrictions or other preferences, we cannot allow outside food, beverages, or containers on winery property. We do have select gluten free and vegetarian options available.

  • We have options beyond wine for those who want to explore a variety of products. Our onsite distillery, Backroads Distilling Company, crafts premium spirits, including vodka, white rum, and gin. In the future, we’ll also offer aged rum, bourbon, and brandy. We also offer locally sourced and produced ciders on draft and in cans.  Select beer options are available during special events and occasions.

    If wine isn’t your preference, we still encourage you to do a tasting! Our team can often help you find something you'll enjoy. Our variety of high-quality, self-grown and produced wines is an experience you won’t want to miss!

  • If you'd like a cocktail from The Stillhouse, you can walk up to the bar to place your order and pay, just like you would inside the winery. The Stillhouse is 21+ so children can’t come in while you order and wait for your drink. If you're eating or drinking in The Stillhouse and want to move outside afterward, you'll need to cash out and get a drink in an approved outdoor cup (plastic).

    You can also choose to sit in The Courtyard (21+) at a table there!

  • While we adore our four-legged friends, our insurance policy restricts pets on the premises. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, registered service dogs are welcome.
