Group Policies
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all our guests, especially larger groups, we've outlined a few policies below:
Parties of 8 or more (including children) require a reservation and a per person deposit based on whether you are planning a seated group tasting (for 8-16 ppl) or bottles only (for 8-20 ppl). Your deposit will be applied as a credit during your visit.
Groups are limited to a maximum of 20 persons for up to 2 hours to ensure we are able to accommodate all guests.
An automatic gratuity of 18% will be added to the total amount of the bill before the deposit is applied.
Casanel’s house policy is to ID everyone regardless of age; please bring a proper state-issued ID for your visit.
We reserve the right to check all backpacks, coolers, and picnic baskets. Per ABC law, NO outside alcohol is allowed anywhere on our property.
If your group will be enjoying any alcoholic beverages before you arrive, we ask that all guests ensure NO outside alcohol is brought onto our premises. This includes disposal of empty bottles or cans that previously contained alcohol.
In the event that a member of the group becomes excessively intoxicated, please be aware that we may need to decline service to the entire group and request that they leave. Managing service for a single individual in such a situation can be challenging.
We kindly ask that all guests help us maintain the cleanliness of our tasting rooms, restrooms, and grounds.
We accept all major credit cards. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to process payments via Apple Pay, Google Wallet, or other similar digital payment methods.
If you need to cancel your group reservation, we would greatly appreciate advance notice. We often schedule additional staff to accommodate larger parties, and your timely communication is very helpful. A cancelation fee of 50% of the deposit will be charged for groups that fail to show up without canceling.
Please complete a reservation form at least 48 hours prior to your desired date to give us enough time to plan your visit.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to welcoming your group to Casanel Vineyards!
Please Note:
Smaller parties (less than 8) no longer require reservations unless arriving by bus or limo.
Transportation / Parking
Limousines, buses, and other vehicles for hire must have a reservation, regardless of the size of vehicle or party. Please contact us to request a reservation.
Tours
Tours at Casanel Vineyards are available by appointment only. Tours cost $15 per person and we require a group minimum size of 6 persons. Tours include a walk thru of the vineyards and the winery (production facility space). They normally last about an hour and we encourage sturdy shoes!
Tours are for guests who are 21 or older.

Children are permitted in the main Tasting Room. Our patio and green spaces are also available for families to enjoy.
When inside, we ask that parents follow restaurant rules and have children remain with them.
Also outside a parent must accompany the children at all times.
The back and side decks are ADULT ONLY (21+).

Friendly dogs are welcome on our main patio and picnic areas ONLY (not inside the Tasting Room or on the side decks).
Please keep your fur babies on a leash at all times and be sure to clean up after them.
Outside Food
Outside food and picnics are ONLY allowed on the decks, patio, and picnic areas.
Casanel provides an array of crackers, cheeses, and other snacks for those who wish to enjoy food with their wine inside the Tasting Room.
Outside Alcohol
The Virginia Department Of Alcoholic Beverage Control states that only wine produced at Casanel Vineyards and Winery is permitted on premises.
Any outside alcohol is prohibited and illegal. Violators of this law will be required to leave Casanel immediately.
Flights / Tastings
Our self-guided flights consist of 4 pre-selected wines, with an option of a white or red flight, 2 oz. pours of each.
Our guided tasting consists of 7 pre-selected wines, 1 oz. pours of each.
Our wine educators do an amazing job walking you through Casanel’s history, how we make our wines, about our property, etc with this more in depth experience!
No substitutions will be permitted.
Vineyard Closing
Last call at Casanel is a half hour before posted closing time.
Casanel also may change the tasting room’s operating time due to private events. There are also times when the tasting room stays open later for special events.
Please check upcoming events tab and social media for early closing times.
After last call, bottles may be purchased to take home, but no more alcohol will be served.
Casanel reverts back to private property and the DeSouzas’ home when the tasting room closes.
Event Facility Rentals
