Important Information for Guests
Effective August 2, 2021 – The Alameda County Order directs that face coverings be worn over the mouth and nose in indoor public settings by all residents, with some exceptions, similar to statewide face covering requirements for unvaccinated residents. These Health Orders aim to reduce community transmission of COVID-19 and protect everyone. Health officials are very concerned by the substantial levels of community transmission now found across the Bay Area, especially among unvaccinated people. In part, this is due to the widespread COVID-19 Delta variant, which is substantially more transmissible than previous forms of the virus.
Due to these changes here is what to expect when you visit our winery. Masks are required when indoors. This applies to all guests, regardless of vaccination status.
On behalf of the Wente Family Estates Team – Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the health and safety of our employees as we navigate the next phase of opening. We look forward to seeing you soon!
