Winery and Vineyard Grounds

PRIE is a working vineyard and because of inherent safety hazards that are associated with the aspects of farming and a winery, guests are not permitted to enter into any of our vineyard areas at any time unless accompanied by staff. Or are participating on a tour. Guests are prohibited from touching, siting, or climbing on vineyard or winery equipment. Yup, no tractor tiktok vids.

Alcohol Consumption

PRIE takes the consumption of alcohol and its control in the sale of such very seriously. This as mandated by Federal and State Local Laws. A person or persons who appear to show signs of intoxication while on premise will be refused additional service at PRIE. Guests who arrive at PRIE who appear to be or are intoxicated will be refused service and barred entry to our facility. We are a zero-tolerance facility for alcohol abuse and its effects on our guests and staff members. In cooperation with local law enforcement agencies. And as the circumstances of any event might dictate please know that local law presence will be called to intervene on behalf of PRIE and its Guests as to protect our rights under the ALCOHOL BEVERAGE CONTROL License laws as issued by the State of California. This policy is Non-Negotiable.

Wine Country Casual Dress Code

Please dress accordingly, we expect our staff and guest to follow a Wine Country Casual dress code. The weather and being on a working vineyard/winery can create some challenges, to ensure your experience is up and up, appropriate outdoor shoes, layers, and sun protection are recommended. There are exceptions, reasonable accommodations for religious and cultural practices or disabilities that are impacted by our dress code.

PRIE does not tolerate discrimination (intent and effect) based on preferred gender, sexual orientation, political, religious. Displays of aggression or promoting harassment (not limited to symbols/gestures/clothing/speech/acts) that demean a person, a group, or create a hostile atmosphere are not tolerated.
