Grape-growers are farmers, so getting up early is part of the process. We rarely stay up late,” said Julianne Donnini, co-owner, and winemaker at Auburn Road. “We created our New Year’s Eve Party for People Who Can’t Stay Up Late in jest, but it was an immediate hit and has become an annual tradition.”
Auburn Road Winery endeavors to accommodate as many guests as possible; to ensure table seating, reservations are advisable. To book a reservation, click here.
