Absolutely, you can stroll through our beautiful vineyards! Just remember, these vines are our pride and joy and need a lot of care. Please follow these simple rules: - Look, but don't touch the vines, leaves, or grapes. - Keep an eye on your children at all times. - Enter at your own risk; there are hidden wires and we spray for disease. For everyone's safety, these rules are strictly enforced. If not followed, you may be asked to leave. Enjoy your visit!

No, outside drinks or alcohol are not allowed. Ohio law strictly prohibits outside alcohol, and it could cost us our liquor license. We have a zero-tolerance policy, and you will be asked to leave if caught with outside alcohol.

We love it when families visit us at the winery, but please note the winery is 21 and over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Please observe the following guidelines.

- Children should be under their parents supervision at all times. Please do not allow them to run through the vineyards, and please make sure they are not disturbing other patrons.

- We know kids like to play, but the rocks around the patio area are there for a reason, and we appreciate the kids not moving or throwing any rocks.

- If children are observed damaging property, you may be asked to take them home. This is particularly true when it comes to the vines.

- We are a small facility, and while we welcome families, if the winery is very crowded, we ask that you are considerate of adult patrons looking for places to sit.

No, sorry, we do not accept reservations. All seating is first come, first served. We will maintain a waiting lists if there are no seats avalailable. For groups, we ask that all members of the group are present before you are seated (see our group FAQ item for more information).

We love it when our animal friends visit us! RockSide Winery is pet friendly in our outdoor areas only. We only ask that pets are well controlled, friendly, and cleaned up after. If your pet does not tolerate strangers or other pets, please do not bring it to the winery. Please understand that if we receieve complaints we will have to ask that your take your pet elsewhere. Licensed service animals are permitted indoors if accommodations cannot be made outside.

Yes, you can leave your car overnight if you don't feel safe driving. Just let us know by telling an employee, emailing us at info@rocksidewinery.com, messaging us on Facebook, or leaving a note on your windshield. If we aren't notified, we may tow the vehicle the next day. Safety first!

RockSide Winery and Vineyards is a 100% non-smoking facility. Smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere on the grounds. Sensory evaluation is an extremely important part of the wine tasting experience, and cigarette smoke and other tobacco products directly impact an individual’s ability to smell and taste their wine. Additionally, we strive to keep our property clean from cigarette butt waste. Vaping is allowed as long as it is not distrubing other guests.

RockSide Winery is a small family business that is extremely busy and growing. Our goal is to provide exceptional service to every person who walks in the door. For that reason these are our group policies.

- We do not accept reservations or call-ahead seating.

- Seating may not be held ahead for large groups. Holding tables inside or out is not permitted.

- We strongly urge groups of 8 or more to avoid visiting Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays as these are our busiest days and it is unlikely we will have space for the group.

- Groups of 5 or more WILL NOT be seated until the entire party is present.

- Groups of 8 or more will likely be required to be split up to multiple tables.

- For the safety of guests, to avoid damaging furniture and blocking emergency exits and walkways, we ask that tables and chairs, inside or outside, are not moved. If you need to move tables or chairs please see a staff member for assistance.

- We are not able to accommodate groups of 15 or more during regular hours of operation. Please see our "Private Events" page on our website, or call us at the winery to discuss options for a private function.

We know, it happens sometimes, no worries. If your tab has not been taken care of by closing time we will close it for you using the card you gave us when you opened the tab. Please keep in mind we will add a 25% tip on the total.

If you would rather you can always pay as you go instead of opening a tab.

We're open: - Tuesday to Thursday: 2-8 PM - Friday and Saturday: 1-9 PM - Sunday: 1-5 PM Last call for alcohol is 30 minutes before closing, and the kitchen closes 60 minutes before closing.

Yes we do! We always have four local beers on tap, and we also have a variety of bourbons available. For the desginated driver in the group we have sodas available.

Yes, you can bring your own food! Please bring your own utensils, serving ware, and napkins. We appreciate it if you enjoy our drinks with your meal. No outside beverages or alcohol allowed.

Rockside Winery and Vineyards was first started by Ron and Lynn Rutter. Ron began planting the vineyards in 2007, and the winery was first opened in 2011. The Coolidge family purchased the winery in 2014. Mom, Valerie Coolidge, takes care of the grounds and the vineyards (a very big job). Dad, Robin Coolidge, is the business manager and jack of all trades. Son Ryan Coolidge is the Winemaker and General Manager. Sister/Daughter by another mother, Taylor Clarke, is our Tasting Room Manager and Queen of Slushies! :-)

Sure! We sell slushies to go in 32oz mason jars. Ask for current pricing.

We can, but only to addresses in the state of Ohio. Unfortunately, every state has a different set of laws controlling taxes and licenses. There is no way currently for a small winery like ours to be keep up with all those variations in every state.

Sure! If the patios and gazebos are full you are welcome to bring your own chairs! Only outside, please.

Most, but not all. There are a few wines that we make from grapes we bring from other places, mainly those that we love, but the grapes just don't grow well here in Ohio. We also sometimes bring in grapes and juice to suppliment that grapes that we grow, particularly if it has been a bad year for grapes in our vineyard.

No, not usually. We do sometimes have special events that include tours of the vineyards. Keep an eye on our website and Facebook page for those announcements.

No, you can visit any time we are open to taste our wines. A tasting is 5 tastes for $9.00, or $2.00 per single taste. Keep in mind we do not take reservations, everything is first come, first served.

Yes, but keep in mind we are not a full service restaurant. We have small bites, cheese and crackers, hummus, bread boards, and the link. We also have four pizzas available that we can make for you. You can see our menu by clicking the button below.
