Friday Happy Hour at the Pavilion (outdoors until Nov 15), 4 - 8 p.m.

Visiting hours are available to members of the Dodon Wine Club and their guests throughout the year. Dodon is an ideal setting to unwind, to linger, to ponder, to converse. Whether you are looking for a quiet moment by yourself or the conviviality of a small group, each seating option offers an intimate, cozy location where you will find the perfect place for your occasion. Please note, from November - March, we will only open outdoors when it is 55 degrees or warmer and dry. Those who wish to visit but are not members of the Dodon Wine Club are invited to book an appointment for one of Dodon’s Tour & Tastings.

Important Notes About Your Visit
Picnics & Food Options Regionally sourced cheese and charcuterie and other snacks are available for ordering onsite. You may also bring a picnic from home or carryout from a local restaurant for the outdoor seating areas, only. Picnics are not permitted indoors. You may bring water or other non-alcoholic beverages. Our winery license does not permit wine or other alcoholic drinks that have not been produced and sold at Dodon to be consumed on the property. Water is available for purchase.
Table Size Reservations are limited to a maximum of 12 guests per table for member reservations, including children. To make a reservation for more than 12 guests, please contact us.
Pets Well behaved, leashed dogs are permitted in the hillside area only. Please clean up after your pets.
Children Members with children in attendance may book a table in the hillside or pavilion area. Children should be included in your reservation count and must be accompanied by an adult at all times. We trust that parents will ensure that all children remain in their designated picnic table area. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide refreshments or activities for children. Guests under the age of 21 are not permitted in the tasting room except for restroom usage.
During Your Visit The Vineyards at Dodon is intended to be a quiet respite from the busy world. We ask guests to consider other guests and keep their voices to a reasonable level. You may bring a small, portable speaker to stream music of your choice when seated in the hillside and pavilion areas, but the volume must remain low enough that other parties cannot hear it.
Wine Service Dodon takes responsible alcohol service seriously. Guests will not be overserved; limits on the quantity of wine served per table will be enforced. Wine and other alcoholic beverages that have not been produced and sold at Dodon and other alcohol are prohibited on the property.
