Tastings, Wine, Food & More

-Notice-

Stonefield Cellars is OPEN for business and are now able to resume offering wine tastings and consumption of beverages and food on site!

SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING SAFETY during the age of COVID19:  While Stonefield Cellars Staff is taking a multitude of measures to keep the winery environment clean during your visit, we have also modified our wine tasting experience in order to enhance staff and guest safety.

  • We will not be conducting tastings at the tasting bar, but instead will offer self-guided wine flights for consumption at indoor or outdoor tables that comply with the 6 ft safe distancing requirements. A ‘wine tasting’ will consist of your choice of 7 wines poured by our staff into disposable cups presented on a tray along with your souvenir wine glass; a detailed description of each wine will be provided on a disposable tasting sheet.

In addition to this new wine tasting procedure, we ask that you take personal responsibility for following these recommended Safe Practices against exposure to or inadvertently spreading of COVID19 during your visit:

  • Wear a face covering while inside the winery building while you are shopping or ordering your tasting choices. Wear your face covering during interactions with others that are not in your safe bubble (family/friends you came with).
  • Wait –
    • Please make note of our 6 ft floor markings for the wait line inside the winery building; these spots are your place marker to wait your turn to approach the bar for placing orders/paying for items.
    • Due to our restricted indoor space we can only accommodate two tables in our tasting room and will be putting a one hour time limit on indoor seating. If you would like to reserve an indoor table for up to 6 guests please call the winery at 336-644-9908.
    • If you do not plan to do a tasting but would like to purchase wine to enjoy on our patio or for taking home, just come to the tasting room to place your order, or you have the option to preorder/prepay using our  “shop for pickup” feature on our website prior to arriving at the winery – www.stonefieldcellars.com/shop.   We will have your beverages ready for an expedient pickup at the bar when you arrive.  If you need some guidance on your purchase before you buy – no problem!  We can help you over the phone or can still help you in person at the winery – our staff will be wearing masks and we have safety shields in place for assistance interactions.
    • Please also respect a 6ft distance even outdoors between you and others not in your safe bubble (family/friends you came with). Tables and chairs have been spaced 6ft or more apart – please do not alter this spacing.  If you need additional chairs or tables for your group (no more than 10 allowed per group), ask a staff member for assistance.
  • Wash – Even though we sanitize commonly touched items often (e.g., our email sign up pen, cash register pad), hand sanitizer will be provided at these areas for your use.  And of course, please wash your hands immediately after using our restroom.

Your patronage is vital to our small business and we are still committed to providing you with high quality wine and exceptional customer service during this rough time. Additionally, we will be offering in-store and parking lot pickup at the winery:

-For in-store pickup and payment you can visit us during our regular business hours and order in store, or call in your order ahead of time at 336-644-9908.

-For parking lot pickup you can purchase your wines over the phone at 336-644-9908 (please have your credit card handy when you call) or purchase your wines online at www.stonefieldcellars.com/shop.

Once your order has been placed we’ll have your wine bagged up and ready for pickup (or delivery to your car – please call us at 336-644-9908 when you get to our parking lot).

SPECIAL NOTICE: While Stonefield Cellars is currently still OPEN for business, we are aware of the impact that COVID-19 is having on our community. Stonefield Cellars prioritizes the health and safety of our guests and staff and want to reassure you that, in addition to our standard sanitization and good hygiene practices, we are taking extra steps to keep everyone safe during this time of concern.

Tastings

Tastings are conducted during our normal business hours (Thursday – Saturday Noon – 6pm, and Sunday 1-6pm) or by appointment*.  If you are a party of 6 or more, please call ahead so that we can accommodate your group.   Our current Tasting price is $10.00 (7 wines from our list & a signature wine glass) and Tastings are held at our bar. For groups of 6 or more, tastings are $10.00 per person and have the option of being seated at tables depending on group size.

Please note that we consider any group of 6 or larger that brings food AND is staying longer than an hour in our indoor facility is considered a private party and will be set up in our rustic Barrel Room and charged the $50/hr private party rate.

As our facility is small, we allow free self-guided tours of our vineyard during our regular business hours and guided tasting room tours held by request (with the last tour starting no later than 5:00 pm). Our tasting room tour is $10 per person and includes a full history of our winery, an overview of our wine-making process (including an oak demonstration), an in-depth tasting of 7 wines, and a souvenir wine glass.

*Important Info Regarding After Hours Appointments:   Our policy is that a credit card number will be required to secure your appointment and a $15 cancellation fee will be applied in the event of no-shows beyond an hour of the scheduled appointment.  (Please understand that we still must pay staff even though someone doesn’t show up).  Also, we do not schedule after hours appointments for groups larger than 4 people or for folks that want to linger longer than the time it takes to taste and purchase wine (that would be considered a private party and after hours rental fees apply – see our Private Parties page for more info).

Our Wine List

All of Stonefield Cellars’ wines are produced on site- from crushing and pressing to aging and bottling. We grow about an acre of our grapes on site while the rest are brought in from local vineyards and family farms, including a few from the Yadkin Valley region.

Please note that this list is dynamic – several of our small batch wines sell out and we try to keep this list as up to date as possible.  If you want to be sure we have a particular wine still available before you visit, feel free to call us!  336-644-9908.
