Yes we do. The reason is that Red Tail Ridge is a very small boutique winery that in 2023 produced less than 5,000 cases of wine per year. We only charge for member events when we must to cover the costs of creating those experiences. We so appreciate your understanding and continued support as we continue to grow our winery and member services.
