get away from your everyday environment
The meaning of Retreat is the need to get away from your everyday environment and put yourself and your partners or staff in a place where everyone can think clearly without distraction and act freely. We have such an environment. And its beautiful beyond words. Our hand-crafted log lodge is complimented with an array of outdoor facilities: two decks and a new garden patio that is semi-divided into three sections. Indoors the Great Room can accommodate up to 40 people depending on your layout requirements. There's also an overlook and the Tasting room where you could break out in groups of 10. Outdoors 50 or more could meet on each deck and break out into whatever size groups and spread around with plenty of options.
LODGING
Our bed & breakfast accommodations include the 'Log Suite, (king bed & queen futon sofa), the new Winemaker's Suite (the ultimate king bed, tiled bathroom with arched shower and claw foot tub and the 'Irish', French Basque' and 'Olde Fair Play' rooms (queen bed) all with private baths, balconies and A/C. B&B guests enjoy a full breakfast each morning. 17 Additional rooms are available at nearby B&Bs (we'll assist you in this regard).
CATERING
In-house catering allows us to offer you food service for any occasion: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, teatime or snacks. From simply good 'comfort foods' to exciting multi-course formal dinners, we're happy to work within your meeting plan and budget. Ethnic/Regional theme menus are our specialty. All our food is prepared fresh from the best quality ingredients available. Special dietary menus are no problem. Our outdoor Wood-Fired Oven creates even more possibilities and becomes a focal point at every occasion. Sit-down service, buffet or a hybrid of the two, we have fifteen years experience to share with you.

OUR PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE BUT ARE NOT ALA CARTE - LET ME EXPLAIN
There are four categories of costs that add up to the total cost of your function:
1)Bed & Breakfast accommodations,
2)Facility Use Fee,
3)Catering,
4)Bar
and occasionally there may be extra costs incurred reflecting your particular needs.
1) Bed & Breakfast accommodations: we do not allow functions here at the Lodge without the inclusion of booking all five B&B rooms. If the function takes place on a weekend you must book all five rooms for two nights. Why? For our sake and yours, we can't possibly turnover our rooms as early as you'll want to check in the day of your event and you'll thank us later for the extra time that family and friends get to spend together. The costs vary depending on which days of the week ( click on http://www.fitzpatrickwinery.com/lodge.html for exact prices). Exceptions to booking all 5 rooms may sometimes be possible only on weekdays.
2)Facility Use Fee: When you book all 5 rooms your party of 10 have no additional fees to use the facilities. However, when the numbers exceed the 10 B&B guests, we have a sliding scale fee schedule. Starting at $500 for up to 20 people, $1000 for up to 50 people indoors or out and $2000 for up to 100 outdoors. This facility use fee secures the date and is non refundable. Sometimes during the week we will make an exception to booking all 5 rooms and make the facility use fee 1/2 the costs of the 5 rooms for one weeknight (currently ~$275).
3)Catering: Our commercial kitchen is capable of providing all your food service needs from breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Pricing must be customized to each function and reflect the economies of scale.
4)Bar: Our tasting room is licensed to serve Fitzpatrick wines and ports, beer and non-alcoholic beverages. You are charged for what your party consumes - no leftover inventory, no second guessing consumption. Occasionally extra charges may be incurred and we will discuss that with you in the planning of your function.
