Where Can I Purchase Tickets?

Cedar Lake Cellars strongly encourages you to ONLY purchase tickets from Eventbrite (our exclusive ticketing partner). Ticket purchases from any other third party are not guaranteed to be authentic and subsequently do not guarantee entry.

Similar to a sporting event, concert or festival, Cedar Lake Cellars does not offer refunds to events–even if there is a postponement.
