CALIFORNIA Governor Gavin Newsom on Wednesday ordered wineries in 19 counties to close amid surging coronavirus cases \u2014 but his own winery and tasting room remains open.<\/p>\n

Newsom made the announcement after the Golden State reported a nearly 50 percent increase in COVID-19 cases over the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

Indoor operations at restaurants, wineries, and tasting rooms, family entertainment centers, movie theaters, zoos, museums, and cardroom gambling businesses were ordered to close down.<\/p>\n

The updated coronavirus restrictions apply to 19 counties, including Los Angeles, that have been on the state\u2019s monitoring list because of an increasing number of cases for three straight days.<\/p>\n

But, as noted by California\u2019s KMPH-TV, Newsom\u2019s winery and tasting room in Napa Valley \u2014 PlumpJack Wines \u2014 is still open.<\/p>\n

The winery\u2019s website explains Newsom found PlumpJack Wines in 1992 as his first business.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the next decade, the PlumpJack Group began to grow under his leadership to include many of the restaurants, wineries, and retail establishments in the current portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n

The winery\u2019s next available tasting is on Tuesday, per the venue\u2019s website, which explains their new rules and guidelines amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Customers are doing tastings by appointment only for groups with six people or less, and both employees are required to wear masks in all public areas \u2014 while guests must wear a face covering \u201cwhen not seated at their designated tasting area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tasting rooms are also going through \u201cenhanced cleaning measures,\u201d and the winery said all guests will have access to areas to properly wash their hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach tasting flight will be pre-poured upon arrival to avoid unnecessary close proximity between our team and guests,\u201d the winery said.<\/p>\n

Guests will also be given \u201csanitized glassware\u201d and \u201cno dump buckets will be provided.\u201d<\/p>\n
