Napa Vineyards Prepare To Resume Wine Tasting With Modifications
The Napa Valley Vintners group says it's developing a plan for the reopening of wine tasting, but with fewer guests and face masks required.
NAPA (CBS SF) — With Napa County wineries being idled now for almost two months, the Napa Valley Vintners group says it is developing a plan for the eventual reopening of wine tasting, with modifications.
The tasting rooms are still closed but that may change soon said Emma Swain, CEO of St. Supery Winery and member of the vintners association task force. “We’re in the hospitality business, we’re here to make great wine, we’re here to have people enjoy themselves, we’re here to make sure people are safe while they’re doing that,” said Swain.
The task force is submitting a safety plan to authorities hoping to open as soon as possible. Among the proposals: reservations-only visits to control the number of guests at a time, setting tables 10 feet apart, requiring staff and guests to wear masks, and staff temperature checks before starting work.
