COVID-19 UPDATE – SEE PICNIC AT THE WINERY FOR MORE INFO

Scandia Valley Vineyards

Exclusive Minnesota Wine

Picnic at the Winery

Wine Tasting Cushing MN

The winery will be open for guests to bring their picnic or snacks to the winery and have a private table to enjoy the great outdoors and have some social time with a bottle (or two or three) of SVV Wines.

SAMPLING BEGINS ON MAY 29TH 2021

We will begin our sampling on Saturday, May 29th with all 6 selected wines poured at once, from which customers can take a seat at one of our tables to take part in an “UP NORTH” Minnesota Farm Winery Experience.

80% of SVV Wines are produced from grapes grown on the SVV Estate in Morrison County and local growers in Stearns and Crow Wing Counties.

Guidelines

  1. SVV will have 8 tables. Each positioned for proper distancing. Four tables for up to 4 people. Two tables for up to 2 people.  One table for up to 6 people and One table for up to 10 people.
  2. Maximum capacity is 32 guests.
  3. Reservations by email or calling the winery is encouraged but walk-ins will be accepted if table space is available.
  4. There will be a check in desk where each guest will be required to enter their name and contact information in a guest registry book. That being for traceability should there be an outbreak from which other guests can be notified of any possible exposure. This is not a requirement mandated by the Governor but it is a requirement of SVV in order to protect my valued SVV guests and my staff.
  5. Guests will have up to 2 hours to occupy their assigned table and can stay longer unless we have another reservation for that table pending.
  6. Tasting Fee is $7 for 6 – 1 ounce pours or $14 for 6 – 2 ounce pours. 6 ounces is a typical glass of wine at any restaurant or club, and a double pour is two glasses of wine for $14 (a bargain compared to most restaurant prices).
  7. SVV will supply Paper Plates, Plastic Flatware and Napkins for single use and are disposable.
  8. Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars will be available for sale.
  9. Tables will be cleaned and sanitized between each use.
  10. Bathroom facilities will be provided.  Guests will be asked to wipe down contact surfaces before they exit. Sanitizing wipes will be provided.
  11. SVV staff will wear masks and food handler gloves.
  12. Guest will be encouraged to wear masks until they occupy their table but not a requirement for entry.
