Group dining questions

Can we order from the regular menu?

Parties of up to 15 guests may order from our regular menu. Parties of 16–20 guests require a limited party menu to help ensure timely preparation and service. Parties of 21 or more use our private event menus and packages.

Any required menu selections will be coordinated before your reservation. Please communicate dietary restrictions and allergies in advance.

How does automatic gratuity work?

For parties of 6–20 guests, a 20% automatic gratuity is calculated on the original, undiscounted food-and-beverage subtotal, excluding tax.

This gratuity serves as the tip for your service team. Additional tipping is entirely optional and never expected. Applicable taxes will be added. Gratuity for parties of 21 or more is governed by the event agreement.

Can we split the check?

For parties of 10 or more, one check will be presented for the entire group. We’re happy to split the total evenly among multiple credit cards. Individual itemized checks are not available.

Please arrange any individual contributions within your group. Your $100 reservation deposit will be credited toward the final balance.

Will our entire group sit at one table?

We’ll do our best to seat everyone together. Depending on your party size and our dining room layout, your group may be seated at multiple adjacent tables.

One continuous table or a specific seating location cannot be guaranteed. All seating arrangements are determined by management.

How much time do we have for dining?

Parties of 10–15 guests are allotted up to two hours. Parties of 16–20 guests are allotted up to two and a half hours.

Additional time may be available with prior management approval. If you’re planning a gathering that requires extended dining time, please coordinate with our private events team.

What if our guest count changes or some guests don’t show up?

Please confirm your final guest count and notify management of any changes at least 48 hours before your reservation.

If some guests cannot attend, your $100 deposit will still be applied toward your final bill. Significant changes in party size may affect seating arrangements, menu requirements, or reservation availability.

How do we cancel our reservation?

To cancel, email info@incontradavineyard.com.

Cancellations made at least 48 hours before your reservation are eligible for a refund of the $100 deposit. Cancellations within 48 hours, or failure to arrive for the reservation, will result in forfeiture of the deposit.

Private and semi-private events are subject to their event agreement.

Can we bring decorations?

Small tabletop decorations are welcome with advance approval. Nothing may be hung anywhere on the premises or attached to vines, lighting, walls, furniture, or other property.

Confetti, glitter, and decorations that may damage property are prohibited. Decorations must not interfere with restaurant operations or neighboring guests.

Can we bring a cake or other outside food?

Outside cakes and desserts require prior management approval. Please request approval when making your reservation so we can discuss arrangements. Any applicable service fees will be disclosed before your reservation.

Other outside food and beverages are not permitted.

When do we need a private or semi-private event booking?

Parties of 21 or more must coordinate through our private events team. Groups requesting exclusive space, customized menus, dedicated service, or extended dining time must also coordinate with that team.

Separate venue fees, food and beverage minimums, deposits, and event agreements may apply. Your event agreement will govern deposits, gratuity, and menus.

Can exceptions be made?

Any exceptions to these policies must be approved by management in advance.

We look forward to welcoming your group to In Contrada Vineyard!
