We are open 12pm-5pm on Saturday and Sunday through the winter months. We offer limited indoor seating in our tasting “outpost” building. For those who prefer the great outdoors this time of year, we offer free use of our Adirondack chairs and fire pits!
Please check Google Maps and social media for any schedule changes due to weather or special events.
Hark offers a tasting menu that changes monthly, featuring approximately eight wines. The tasting strives to provide experience with both the Hark and Jake Busching Wines brands, and across the spectrum from light whites to full-bodied reds. Our house tasting is $15 and features 2oz pours of four wines. The reserve tasting is $20 and features 2oz pours of four different wines. All tastings are served in carafes for consumption at your seating area. Our wines are also available by the bottle or glass.
We welcome — and encourage — you to bring a picnic and enjoy the experience our estate offers. Some picnic foods such as cheese, charcuterie, jams, crackers, and chocolate are available for purchase in our tasting room.
