visitor & COVID faqs
Can we still visit taste there without a reservation? What if I'm a member?
Not right now, unfortunately. All guests must make a reservation prior to visiting Larson.
Are there any new policies and procedures surrounding the pandemic?
Yes, thanks for thinking of that! We'll be asking that you help us out by participating in the following when visiting the winery:
Can I bring my kids?
Yes! This is a family-friendly winery if ever there was one! However, with current efforts to keep a social distance from other parties and slow the spread of germs, we ask that all children stay at the table with their adults.
As a busy working winery with the tasting room adjacent to our production facilities, we ask that parents please have their children within their view at all time. Additionally, kids (and parents) must wear shoes at all times.
Please note no scooters, bikes, roller skates or wheeled ride-on toys are allowed at the winery.
Can I bring my dogs?
We like dogs so much we named some our wines after them. You’re welcome to bring your dogs with you, but they must be on a leash at all times. We ask that you use judgement as an owner as to if your pup is up for the winery. There are often dozens of other guest dogs, lots of people, and many kiddos here, so it can be quite overwhelming if your pup isn't socialized.
Our three resident winery dogs, Rosko, Louie, and Ollie are also here to greet you. They might even share their toys with you!
Do you have food for sale?
To be in compliance with Sonoma County rules regarding reopening after COVID-19 Shelter in place, all guests must purchase a "bona-fide meal" in order to enjoy wine at Larson Family Winery. We will have food truck dining options on the weekends, and box lunch offerings available that can be booked at time of reservation.
We also have a selection of light bites that pair well with our wines – crackers, cheeses, salamis, chips, etc. In addition, we have a wide range of delicious chocolate sweets from Annette’s. We’d say they’re great to take home with our wines, but they never make it there without us eating them first!
How does the picnic thing work?
We're usually happy to host your outside picnic selections, but to keep things as sanitary and COVID-Clean as possible, we're currently not allowing any outside food at the winery.
