Privacy Policy

Updated: November 12, 2026 Rassawek Vineyard (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, rassawek.com (the “Site”), purchase event tickets, book venue tours or accommodations, or interact with us online and at our property in Columbia, Virginia.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us as well as certain technical data collected automatically when you browse the Site.

  • Contact and Inquiry Information: When you submit a contact form, request a wedding or venue tour, or apply to be a festival vendor, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and any details included in your message.

  • Event Ticketing and Transactions: When you purchase tickets for events (such as the Rassawek Autumn Festival & Pro Rodeo or Wine & Wreath) or buy products/services, transactions may be processed through third-party ticketing and payment platforms (such as TicketSignup). We receive order confirmation details such as your name, email address, billing information, and ticket purchase history to manage will-call and event entry.

  • Accommodations and Reservations: If you book overnight stays (such as our cabins or train cars) through third-party platforms like Airbnb, we receive reservation details necessary to host your stay.

  • Age Verification Information: Because we sell alcoholic beverages and host events where alcohol is served, we may collect your date of birth or verify your government-issued ID to confirm you are at least 21 years of age.

  • Automatically Collected Technical Data: When you visit rassawek.com, our servers and analytics tools may automatically log your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiries, schedule venue tours, and coordinate wedding or private event bookings.

  • Process and fulfill event ticket orders, manage entry/will-call, and communicate important event updates.

  • Manage vendor applications and event logistics.

  • Verify legal drinking age in compliance with Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) regulations.

  • Send newsletters, event announcements, and promotional updates (only if you have opted in or as permitted by law).

  • Monitor website performance, improve user experience, and protect against fraud or unauthorized activity.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure proper website functionality, remember your preferences, and analyze site traffic. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies; however, doing so may limit certain interactive features of the Site.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • Third-Party Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party partners to operate our business—such as website hosting providers, email communication services, ticketing platforms (e.g., TicketSignup), and lodging platforms (e.g., Airbnb). These providers are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf.

  • Legal Compliance and Safety: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or when necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of Rassawek Vineyard, our guests, and the public.

5. Third-Party Links

Our Site contains links to external websites (such as Airbnb, TicketSignup, and social media platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external platforms you visit.

6. Data Security and Retention

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—including SSL/TLS encryption—to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We retain personal information only for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal and accounting obligations, or resolve disputes.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our Site and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Furthermore, alcohol-related purchases and tastings are strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 and older.

8. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including residents of Virginia under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, where applicable), you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you.

  • Marketing Opt-Out: You may unsubscribe from our promotional emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in our emails or contacting us directly.

  • Data Requests: To review, update, or request the deletion of your personal data, please contact us using the details below.
