Fireside February 2/7/2026 11:00 AM - 3/1/2026 4:30 PM

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 15:22:03 GMT

Looking for a cozy retreat this winter to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, with wine in hand?

This February, settle in for a fireside wine tasting experience in our Garden, designed for groups of 2 to 6 guests. Sip, savor, and linger as the wood fire crackles nearby and the ranch slows down around you.

On Saturdays and Sundays, enjoy the glow and warmth of the fire, and add a savory s’more pack that includes salami, cheeses, crackers & accompaniments ($45 for two servings), or indulge in a classic sweet s’more pack ($15 for two servings). Both are perfect for sharing, or not.

For weekend fireside pricing and reservations, please email inquire@casinomineranch.com.
