If you've visited PV, you know that our tasting room simply hasn't the space for 6' Social Distancing, so we're limited to doing tastings outdoors.  We've purchased some used wine barrels to set up as tasting positions with 6' spacing - customers will be required to stay at their assigned barrel while tasting.  We're getting single-use compostable plastic cups so as to avoid spread through contact.  We will be going to a call-in-advance system - you can still drive up, but if our limited barrel tasting positions are all filled, you'll have to wait until there's a free spot.  We anticipate this mode through the summer, we're hoping to start early July (coincidentally, just as the weather gets nice!)  We'll have to disassemble this setup at harvest time as this area doubles as our crush pad, meaning that we may have to stop doing tastings as of early September.  Due to cool/cold Pacific NW weather after harvest, we probably won't be doing outdoor tastings again until Spring, so be sure to take advantage of it when you can.  There will be many mandatory regulations -  Serena has joked that the place will look like one of those midwest "burma shave" ads with a line of signs along the roadside for miles.

In the past, most of our income at PV has been through drop-in visitors at the tasting room.  Obviously, this has been severely curtailed this year, although thankfully, we have had an uptick in shipped sales.  I'd like to encourage you to help support us by shopping online.  Most importantly, see the next section on our big sale!
