Spend The Day In The Vineyard

Enjoy delicious wine from the vineyard

Whether you savor a rich cabernet or a crisp chardonnay, Laurita Winery offers a comprehensive selection of wines made from grapes grown on-site. In fact, the winery produces between 14,000 and 16,000 cases of wine and has adopted the slogan “local, authentic, and sustainable.” With an emphasis on Vinifera, the classic European noble variety grapes, you can savor favorite blends like Chardonnay and Merlot or indulge in decadent dessert wines like Chocolate Peanut Butter Therapy, a rich blend of, you guessed it—chocolate and PB. Not sure what you like? Stop by Laurita for a wine tasting, where you will have the chance to taste six of the wine selections with the help of trained wine producers.

Make sure you bring your appetite

Sure, a winery is the perfect place to relax with a glass in your hand, but Laurita Winery also has delicious food to go with your drinks. Comfort food favorites like Bacon Burger, Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and Harvest Salad are on the menu. Wine tasters will love the Charcuterie Board, a medley of cheese, soppressata, and fruit spread. And bonus—Laurita suggests a wine pairing for every item on the menu (including snacks like the Bavarian Pretzel).

You can have fun with everyone

Want to spend the day sipping wine, but don’t have a sitter? Make it a family affair, and bring your crew. During events, kids can do plenty to keep busy with face painting, live music, and food trucks, but even without an event, there’s an on-site playground where your littles can congregate. Keep in mind that kids need supervision, and that some events at the winery will be adult-only, so check ahead. 

Events for every season and age

From the Food Truck Series to Comedy Night, the event calendar at Laurita Winery is always full of upcoming things to do among their gorgeous vineyards. And most events are family-friendly, such as the Laurita Junior Idol—where kids can join or watch this singing competition, enjoy family-friendly food, and parents have some fun drink options (we call that a parenting win). Other events are fun for couples or even a mom’s night out—events are always from Thursday to Sunday, and keep an eye out on the events calendar to see what’s coming up.

Book a room at the cozy Inn at Laurita Winery

If you have your eye on one of the events at Laurita Winery and want to make it a true getaway weekend, book a room at the Inn at Laurita Winery. Located half a mile down the road from the winery, this Inn has adorable rooms and suites to relax and enjoy time among the vineyards. Each room sports a different theme, ranging from The Vineyard, which has a private sitting room and porch overlooking the front lawn, to The Lighthouse, which is decorated like the coastline with a nautical bedroom loft and reading nook. In the morning, feast on a complimentary buffet gourmet breakfast made with organic and local produce.
