Tasting Boutique
To ensure the safety of our guests and staff, and to follow all guidelines, we have implemented the following guidelines for visiting our winery.
We can only accomodate groups under 12 people.
- RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED to visit the winery for a tasting. Due to limited space and capacity restrictions, each guest wishing to visit Sandbanks for a tasting must make a reservation. Our friendly staff have allotted 45 mins for your tasting to ensure there is plenty of time for purchasing and proper sanitization.
- To follow the Provincial guidelines, as of September 22, 2021, all guests who partake in a wine tasting indoors must show proof that they have been fully vaccinated, and complete the screening/ contact tracing questionnaire upon arrival.
