Please note, weather permitting the music will be outdoors — set up under the eaves on the back deck. Glass House Winery owner Jay has recently added several fire pits along the deck adding a beautiful ambience as well as an aid to keep you cozy on the cooler days.
In the case of inclement weather (or severe temps):
~ the music may be canceled
~ the music may move into the tropical conservatory (with overflow seating on the covered deck)
~ a passing light shower might be okay, but patrons should be prepared
Please check our Social Media posts or call the Tasting Room for an update.
