SEATING
Seating—with and without tables—is available at various locations on the winery grounds. Patrons should also feel free to sit at picnic tables, chairs and on stone walls.
SHADE
The Ironstone Concours d'Elegance is held outdoors. Guests should prepare properly for sun exposure. Shady areas are available throughout the venue, but afternoons can get warm, and long-term exposure to direct sunlight can be harmful. Be sure to bring and apply sunscreen.
WATER
Water is available free of charge until supplies run out. Food vendors also have beverages available for purchase.
ICE CHESTS
Guests are not allowed to bring ice chests into the Ironstone Amphitheatre grounds.

PETS
Well behaved pets on a leash are welcome. Please mind your pet around the cars and children. Pet owners should be prepared to clean up after their animals.
PARKING
Parking is available in the lower parking lot and on overflow parking at the top of the hill. Please respect others regarding speed and dust. Handicapped parking is available in designated locations.
ENTRY ROAD
