Products

How much do wine and beer flights cost?

Our wine flights are $22 and include four 2-ounce pours—roughly equivalent to 1.5 glasses of wine.

Beer flights are $18 and feature four 5-ounce pours, which is nearly two pints.

Our wines are not certified vegan or gluten-free; however, no animal products are used in the winemaking process, and grapes are naturally gluten-free. As a result, our wines are generally considered safe for guests who follow vegan or gluten-free diets.

Our wine glasses are available to purchase in our retail store.

Our Cru Club is a points-based membership program where every $100 spent earns $5 to use toward dining or shopping. Points can be accrued across all onsite experiences, including dining, the brewery, the tasting room, and retail purchases.

Members also enjoy instant bottle discounts: receive $6 off the purchase of 6 bottles, or 15% off a full case of 12 bottles—plus a voucher for two complimentary tastings.

Best of all, membership is completely free!

We offer a selection of non-alcoholic options, including locally made Rhode Island sodas and lemonades, house-crafted mocktails, and—when available—non-alcoholic beer from Taproot Brewing Co.

Only select wines from our portfolio are distributed within Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. We do ship our wines to most states and you can find out if your state is eligible here.

Our beers are not distributed, as we focus on small-batch production to ensure the freshest brews are enjoyed onsite. Unfortunately, beer cannot be shipped due to state laws.
