If you've visited PV, you know that our tasting room simply hasn't the space for 6' Social Distancing, so we'll be limited to doing tastings outdoors for the foreseeable future.  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 have single-use compostable plastic cups so as to avoid spread through contact.  We will be going to a reservations only system - you will still be able to drive up, but if our limited barrel tasting positions are all filled, you'll have to wait until there's a free spot.  We won't be able to do tastings at harvest time as this area doubles as our crush pad.  Due to cool Pacific NW weather after harvest, people may not want to do outdoor tastings again until Spring.  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.  We are currently hoping for at least a shortened tasting season, possibly mid-Oct through mid-Nov.  Watch this newsletter email and our Facebook page for an opening announcement.

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!
