Visitor & Driver Tips
During weekend evenings and major weekend morning market rushes, parking in the Strip District fills up rapidly; arriving 20 to 30 minutes ahead of scheduled event curtain times or dining reservations is strongly recommended. Make sure to note your floor level and stall section before heading out to the winery. If traveling from outside the city on a busy game day or festival weekend, consider entering the area via Smallman Street or Railroad Street to avoid heavy pedestrian and commercial traffic along Penn Avenue.
