DIRECT MAIL CUSTOMERS
We are pleased to offer a special thank-you to those who are passionate Shafer
supporters. If your name is currently active on our Hillside Select
List and have purchased three or more bottles of your Hillside Select
offering in the past year, or if you have purchased six or more bottles of Shafer wine
annually from our Napa Valley List*, then the tasting fee is waived for
you and one member of your party for two tasting visits per year. (This courtesy is
non-transferable.)
CANCELLATIONS

AVAILABLE WINES
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.
We cannot allow anyone under the age of 21, which includes infants and children.
Likewise, we cannot allow pets.
RETAIL SALES AT WINERY
Retail sales of currently available wines are offered Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Because we only offer tastings by appointment, we do not provide tastings as part of the
sales process.
*The Napa Valley List offers the following Shafer wines each year: Red
Shoulder Ranch® Chardonnay, TD-9®, One Point Five® Cabernet Sauvignon, and
Relentless®.
Request a Tasting Visit
A tasting visit at Shafer is relaxed and conversational; it’s about enjoying wine and each
others company. In that spirit we only sit down to taste wines with ten or fewer guests at a
time.
Please remember that the best way to secure a spot is to contact us six to eight
weeks in advance.
Please note that this is a request for a tasting visit. We will contact you as soon
as possible with official confirmation.
