“One of the world’s greatest wineries…”
– Robert M. Parker, Jr.
Each weekday morning and afternoon we host 10 or fewer guests in a setting as comfortable as an at-home wine tasting. During a visit to Shafer of about 90 minutes, guests learn about our vineyards, approach to winemaking, and history during a relaxed, sit-down tasting of five wines including our signature wine Hillside Select.

The tasting visit is $45 per person.

  • It is always a good idea to call a few days ahead of your visit to check on which wines are available and on their respective per-bottle purchase limits, as these do change throughout the year.
