Policies
Tippy Creek Winery
Outside Food & Beverage
Effective March 1st, 2018:
Tippy Creek Winery is no longer allowing outside food or beverages on our premises due to increased issues. This also means gifts that contain alcohol (other than TCW wine) cannot be brought into the winery as presents or for gift exchanges. We understand this is not ideal, but hope you can understand that this is a liability to our licenses and we want to be able to continue to serve you in the future.
Tippy Creek Winery does offer meat/cheese trays available for purchase and we are working to make sure we have a diverse food truck offering. This does not apply to private party rentals except for outside alcohol. If you have any specific questions, please direct them to info@tippycreekwinery.com or via messenger through Facebook. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, we appreciate your business and are blessed to serve you!
