City Winery strives to deliver the highest-end combined culinary and cultural experience to our customers who are passionate about sharing wine, music, and culinary arts. We are a unique facility, combining a fully functioning winery with intimate concerts, food & wine classes, private events in various configurations, and fine dining. We have created a compelling mix for our sophisticated clientele of foodies and active cultural patrons—bringing the wine country experience to the middle of a large city. We are proud to offer a safe workplace for our employees. In the interest of safety for all City Winery employees, the Company requires all employees to be fully vaccinated (defined as 1 dose of a 1-dose series or 2 doses of a 2-dose series of the COVID-19 vaccine), and encourages employees to receive their booster shot if eligible, unless due to a bona fide medical and/or sincerely held religious reason, in which case a reasonable accommodation will be discussed unless it causes an undue hardship to City Winery.
