We
continue to update and expand our facilities to accommodate
and promote special events. Be it a major public event,
a wedding, a specific charitable function or a corporate
picnic, the knowledgeable staff at Quai du Vin Estate Winery
is available to help you with your planning details. During
2002, we built permanent outdoor washroom facilities, terraced
the back lawn/entertainment area and acquired a 40' X 100'
tent. We now have a new stage and
dance floor as well as an upgraded hydro supply. These projects
have been undertaken to make our facilities more usable
under all circumstances.
Major Event
Our
Events field will accommodate 1000 persons with ease. It
is adjacent to our large parking field and both are surrounded
by our scenic 22 acres of grapes. The Events field is terraced
to a gradual lower elevation which focuses on the Dance
floor and Centre Stage. The stage is backed by a forested
area with pathways cleared throughout the scenic ravine.
The new Tent can be assembled to accommodate 20' increments
from 40' x 60' up to and including 40' x 100'. Allow approximately
10 sq. ft. per person. Therefore, the 40' x 100' size will
service 400 persons.
See our Links page for
our recommendations for local Bed and Breakfasts, Caterers,
Disc Jockeys and accessories Rentals.
Small Gatherings
Be it a family reunion, a corporate picnic, a volunteer appreciation
event or a monthly service club meeting, our “Wine Press
Terrace” will accommodate up to 100 persons in a casual
setting overlooking our wine press and processing area adjacent
to the water garden and retail outlet.
In addition, our court yard, located just outside the retail
shop, will hold up to 25 people in our shaded gardens.
Bring a picnic, or choose from our savory dips, spreads and
cheeses to accompany a glass of wine while relaxing in our
peaceful country setting throughout the summer months.
Tours and Tastings
As in the past, Quai du Vin continues to offer
all groups the opportunity to tour our vineyards and cellars
and taste our products. There is no cost for tours which include
a wine tasting. Additional services can be made available
for nominal fees, such as wine appreciation seminars, the
marriage of wine and food, additional wines, cheeses platters
or light lunches.
