Nassau Valley Vineyards Terms of Rental
Reservation Fee
Half the Facility Rental Fee is required at the time of the Contract’s signing to secure a firm date. The balance of the Rental Fee is due 60 days prior to the event. There is a 30 day cancellation period from the date of signing. Cancellation during this period will be charged a $100.00 Cancellation Fee. After this 30 day period, any cancellation will forfeit the entire Reservation’s deposit.
Security Deposit
A Security Deposit of $300.00 is required on all contracts. The Security Deposit is refundable only after a full inspection of the event facility has been completed. This inspection will be completed by 5:00pm on the day following the event. This is to determine that cleanup is complete and that there has been no damage sustained to the buildings and their contents. The caterer is responsible for removal of all trash and for sweeping the floors and cleaning the kitchen. The security deposit is refunded within 30 days of the event completion.
Duration Of Event
Each contract is for a standard four hour event. For additional use of the facilities, there is an additional fee. Events don’t begin until after the winery closes at 5pm.

Six caterers on our list currently have their Off-premise Liquor License and are permitted to sell you beer and spirits as part of their service package. Should you choose a caterer that does not have their Off-premise Liquor License, then a “Gathering License” must be obtained from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commissioner for the acquisition and service of any other alcohol other than NVV wines.
