Groups of 7-10: Here at Écluse, we strive to give our guests our memorable and personal “Écluse Experience," therefore reservations are required for groups of 7-10 people. To give everyone the time and attention they deserve, we schedule groups of this size at 10 or 10:30am before our tasting room opens. Large group appointments must be made in advance and we are unable to accommodate groups larger than 10. To schedule a tasting group reservation, please call 805-238-4999.
The Terrace - Wine by the Glass or Bottle
Our terrace is located just off the crush pad and overlooks our beautiful Lock Vineyard. Exclusively for wine by the glass & bottle, the terrace is the perfect place to take in the stunning vineyard views after your tasting!
Bring a picnic to enjoy on the terrace after your tasting with a glass or bottle of your favorite Écluse or Thibido wine!
Dog Friendly: We are very dog friendly and always welcome our four-legged friends to Écluse - on the terrace and in the tasting room - however we do ask that all dogs are on leash at all times during your visit.
Seated Cellar Tasting with the Winemaker
Our Seated Cellar Tastings take place in our cellar with Anthony La Duca, Winemaker at Écluse, or Josh Beckett, Winemaker at Thibido Winery. They will walk you through a flight of both labels, Écluse and Thibido, with cheeses from Alba Provisions. These tastings take place in a more intimate setting, giving us a chance to sit down with you to share some of our most prized wines in a more personal, in-depth tasting experience. This is a great opportunity to taste through some very special, limited production wines that aren't featured in the tasting room while learning about our winemaking style, the barrel program and the vineyards we source from. It's the perfect time to come learn about the next chapter at Écluse, too!
Please note that we are not currently offering our Seated Cellar Tastings: Please note that since we are a working winery and because our seated tastings are held in our barrel room with the winemaker, there are certain times of the year that we are unable to offer this experience. Tentative dates include harvest and spring bottling dates. Please contact us directly with any questions on availability!
