Good to know.

Buy a bottle, skip the carry

Buy a bottle you love from any winery and let the Wine Valet carry it. You get a numbered luggage tag and claim stub, runners move the bottle to the secure Wine Valet inside Novel, and you pick it up on your way out with the stub and a matching photo ID. It is complimentary, and it means you shop with your hands free. Food is sold separately.

Tour to win, refer to earn

Tour NOVEL RiNo before you sip and you are entered to win a bottle of wine from any winery at the festival, your choice. Check the tour box when you RSVP for your ticket, then swing by for your tour on festival day.
