Inn Health & Safety Procedures

The safety of our guests and staff is our highest priority. For this reason, the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn has created health and safety procedures based on the most current information available according to federal, state, and local guidelines.

• You will note the Center for Disease Control’s social distancing verbiage posted in public areas so as to maintain an expectation of staff and guest behaviors.
• We will post modified occupancy limits for all public spaces.
