March 2022

 

While the Ontario Government has removed the mandatory mask mandate as of March 21st 2022, The Peterborough Public Health Unit still highly recommends we continue to mask in indoor settings. Here is the link.

We and our staff will continue to wear our masks for the next few weeks at least and will re-evaluate this issue regularly.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us!

December 2021 Update
Thank you to all of our customers for their questions about our Covid protocols. We’d like to provide a little end-of-2021 update!  

 

We do not require you to show your vaccine passport 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 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: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/screening/customer/

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!!

Jennifer & Sarah,

Brooke, Lauryn, Tilly, Katherine, Joanna, Emily, Boden and Paige.

Many of you have asked about whether we will require a vaccine passport here. As we are deemed an Essential Business, we are not required to ask you for proof of vaccination or a passport.

We do, however, ask that you continue to
social distance here, do not come to our shoppe
if you are unwell or have any Covid symptoms and wear a mask, as masks are mandatory.

 It has been two months of a very different lifestyle, hasn’t it? It’s a whole new world. Many people are not working, some of us are still working or are back to work and students are all learning from home. We are shopping differently, walking/exercising a lot more and discovering new hobbies and interests. All ages and demographics have been affected in so many different ways. Thankfully, our area has been very lucky... let’s keep it up everyone!

We have some great news, especially for those of you with wine ready to bottle! Starting this Tuesday May 26th, we will be adding a few additional bottling appointments per day, by strategically opening both bottling stations. This will be done carefully and with great attention to social distancing and sanitization, as always. We look forward to being able to accommodate more of you, with these changes. We have created even more separation between the areas of our store and remind everyone to arrive on time, be patient and keep a safe distance from others :)

We’ve been asked a lot about face masks. 😷
We do not require face masks be worn, as social distancing is easily accommodated in our spacious store. However, if you’ve been told to wear one or feel better wearing one, please do! Just please remember: DO NOT touch your mask at all, while wearing it in our store. Doing so compromises the safety it provides you and others. It must fit tightly to your face and must not be touched. If you must adjust it, please wash or sanitise your hands immediately.

 Call us if you have any questions or concerns.  Stay safe!
