Covid Protocol Update

December 21, 2021

Thank you to those of you who asked about our evolving Covid protocols. We’d like to provide you with an end-of-2021 update below.
We do not require you to show your vaccine passport or any proof of vaccination to enter our store as we are considered an “essential business”. That said, face masks are absolutely mandatory and we ask you to keep a safe distance from everyone at all times.
We made the decision over a year ago to eliminate sampling while bottling as we know it’s safest for everyone to remain masked. Instead we continue to offer complimentary sample jars for any leftover wine. Don’t worry, none ever gets wasted!

Just recently, we’ve also added HEPA air cleaners throughout the store as well, to keep us all even safer.
We have a fully-vaccinated team here and we are all rapid testing once a week. Our super team of wine elves work very hard every day to keep things clean, safe and running smoothly. We are so thankful for them all! We couldn’t do this without them!
A couple of reminders: when arriving for your bottling appointment, please arrive on time, not early. This helps eliminate crowding inside, helps with parking availability and also allows us time to fully sanitize the bottling station and carts for you.

Also, please remember to put your mask on outside and keep it on until you are outside once again.

Lastly, be sure to be screening yourself daily, using the online provincial tool before entering local businesses. It is found on your wine bottling confirmation email and also here:

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and patience as we all navigate these unusual times.

We wish you all the best this holiday season!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and our sincere best wishes for a safe and healthy New Year!!
