Tastings in the Summer House
Wednesday, Friday, Saturday: 11am
Thursday: 1pm
Guided tastings by reservation $40 per person
For the motivated amateur, this 90-minute tasting experience features a flight of 7 wines with small pairings, a deep dive into glacial history & terroir, and a walking tour of our cellar. Bonus: a library pour from the vault!
*The Summer House bookings for 2025 will begin Saturday, March 15*
For a more casual experience with flights, glasses & more, please visit our Salon.
In these intimate guided tastings, our knowledgeable team shares insights into the glacial history, lakeside microclimate, and ancient soils that contribute to the distinctive character of our vineyard sites. History, geology, and exceptional wines converge in a truly unforgettable experience.
We believe that wine is meant to be enjoyed in good company with lively discussion. There are a total of 12 seats available in each tasting. Because our tastings are held in a group setting, we ask that all guests arrive five minutes prior to the reservation so we can begin promptly.
For booking parties larger than 6 people please email tastings@forgecellars.com.
