FAQs
Are children allowed?
No. Catoctin Breeze Vineyard is a working farm, and we only allow adults over the age of 21.
Do I need to make a seating reservation?
No. We are open Thursday – Monday and we do not require a reservation to sit on our lawn. Our seating is on a first come first serve basis, but you are more than welcome to bring your own chairs and blankets. We do limit group sizes to 6 people or less. If you are interested in having a private event, please email us at info@catoctinbreeze.com.
Do you accommodate bachelor/bachelorette parties?
No. Catoctin Breeze is a small venue geared towards discerning guests who appreciate a bit of quiet with their wine. Unfortunately, since bachelor/bachelorette parties are often conducted with a large amount of fanfare, we have been forced to prohibit them from the venue.
How much is a wine tasting?
We offer wine tastings Thursday – Monday in the tasting room. Our Vigneron’s Choice Tasting is $24 featuring six wines selected by our vigneron, Voytek Fizyta. Tastings are free of charge for Catoctin Cru members and up to four of their guests. Please note that we do have a ‘last call’ policy in place. Wine tasting and any on-site consumption will end thirty minutes prior to closure.
Do you serve food?
We allow outside food, and do encourage guests to pack a picnic. Please make sure check our Event Calendar for occasional pop-up food trucks. We also offer locally sourced charcuterie.
Can I bring my own food?
Yes, but please keep it in the picnic areas outside. If you are renting our facility for a private event, feel free to bring your own picnic or a licensed caterer. NO outside alcohol is allowed at any time.

Is live music free?
