A Party in the Tasting Room of Hunt Country Vineyards

Your Private Event at Hunt Country Vineyards 

Hunt Country Vineyards offers you an incomparably beautiful, distinctive and affordable setting for your special event!  Throughout the year, our airy tasting room plays host to a range of wonderful occasions:

  • Rehearsal dinners
  • Anniversary and Birthday parties
  • Retirement parties
  • Club and Association dinners, and
  • Employee appreciation celebrations
By leaving the arrangement of any caterer, musician, tent, etc. to you, we can provide our facility and support at remarkably low cost.
  • Our Tasting Room is available for set-up by your caterer, etc., as early as 30 minutes following our closing to the general public. (Closing times are 6pm from July through October; 5pm from November through June).
  • Your event includes use of the Tasting Room, our deck with beautiful views of the vineyards and the Keuka Lake valley, restrooms (with disabled access) and parking, for a 3-hour period.
  • Our Tasting Room seats up to 60 comfortably for dinner (e.g. seven 72" tables of 8 people each, plus a smaller table). We can accommodate 80 to 90 persons for a stand-up gathering. Click here for a printable schematic of the Tasting Room.
  • Facilities include the use of small kitchen space, stove, microwave and sink by your own party or the licensed caterer of your choice.  You and any caterers are asked to clean up and leave the area as you found it.
  • A CD player is available for any music you would like to play at the event.
  • Rental of the Tasting Room
    • Friday, Saturday or Sunday evenings...$500* plus 8% tax.
    • Monday through Thursday evenings...$400* plus 8% tax.

    • The Tasting Room is not available on the following dates:  _______________________
  • A Hunt Country Vineyards staff member will be at your disposal throughout your event to answer questions, ring up any wine or gift purchases and attend to any other needs guests may have.
  • We do ask that any wine served during the event be from Hunt Country Vineyards. We promise this will not be a hardship! If you haven't tasted our award-winning red, white and dessert wines, rest assured that from our Cabernet Franc to our Chardonnay Champagne, we have a wine to suit every taste. Discounts of 15% for one case and 20% for two or more cases; mixed cases allowed. Wine may be purchased "as opened"; we simply add the cost of wine consumed, less your discount, to your balance.
  • We are happy to chill our wines for you. Please let us know your wine preferences a day in advance.
  • Properly licensed and insured caterers may also serve beer and liquors. Copies of license and insurance need to be sent to Hunt Country Vineyards before the event.
Add a Dimension to your Event
  • Enliven your event further by offering guests a bottle or two of wine with personalized labels in happy remembrance of the event. Costs are very reasonable! Click here for all the pertinent information.
  • We can also conduct a private wine tasting in the Tasting Room or on our deck overlooking vineyards and the beautiful Keuka Lake valley. Charge is on a per person basis, depending on how many wines you would like to offer and whether you would like cheese along with the tasting.
