BANQUET INFORMATION

PDF Version of this Page    ~    Jump to Banquet Menus

Thank you for considering Wine Cellar Restaurant for your special occasion!

You are encouraged to come by and look at the dining areas. Please email Lisa at lisa@winecellarlosgatos.com with your desired date, time, and number of people.

Private parties may rent a section of the interior, the entire restaurant, a section of the patio or the entire patio. There is a minimum rental fee depending on dining time, day of the week and the time of the year. Your bill will be calculated by adding your food packages and drinks. It may exceed the minimum requirement for private party dining area rentals. If, however, you do not reach the minimum with food and drink ordered, you will be required to pay the remainder as a “rental fee”. (This will usually occur when a dining area is rented by a party smaller than would normally occupy that area).

A package must be used for all parties of fifteen or more. Menu packages do not include tax, gratuity or beverages. The package price is based on the standard two hour limit. Excess time may incur extra expense.

DEPOSIT AND CANCELLATION FEE
Banquets require a signed contract and a 50% deposit. Your party must be cancelled at least a week prior to your event for a full refund. Special situations may require more cancellation time. See your contract for exact details.

GUEST COUNTS AND GUARANTEES
Menu selections are due one week prior to your event. Final counts are due three days prior to your event. This final count is a guarantee. You will be charged for the number of people in your final count, or the actual attendance, whichever is greater.

PAYMENT AND PRICING
All prices are subject to change without notice. All sales are subject to 8.25% sales tax. All parties are subject to a 20% gratuity and set-up fee. We accept MC, VISA, and AMEX. Sorry, no personal checks unless pre-approved by management.

MENUS
Once you decide on a Menu Option, we will Custom Print your Menu for the day of your Event. Your Guests may choose that day what they would like to eat. Please let us know what you would like your Menu Greeting to say. (The Lunch and Dinner Packages are named after Grape Varietals because we are The Wine Cellar Restaurant - wine is not included in your package price. It is a separate purchase.)

WINE
We encourage you to pre-select wine for your party to ensure that we have what you want in stock.

SPECIAL MENU
Our Executive Chef, Wayne Hashman, can work with you to design a custom menu if you desire something not on our list. A chef charge will be added to all custom menus.
