Is the Chateau family-friendly?
Yes. We welcome visitors of all ages in our peaceful and family-friendly environment. We ask that all minors be directly supervised to ensure safety and comfort for all our guests.
Do you have live music?
Occasionally. We strive to provide a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere. When we do offer music, it is of the acoustic variety and normally presented in a manner to enhance the atmosphere rather than to dominate the patio. We like our wine to take center stage.
