Total Buy-Out / Five Hour Event

Some parties call for a total buy-out of The Depot when headcount or privacy needs dictate. We’ve created set venue pricing for a Total Buy-Out. Please note that all events held at the Depot are ADULT GUESTS only events and we do not cater to children’s parties or events.

Partial Buy-Out / Five Hour Event

For clients who are interested in hosting events that don’t require a total buy-out, we have a fee structure based on the day of the week and guest count. Please note that these prices cover space usage for an event lasting up to five hours in length.

— Food & Beverage —


Food Options

All of our dishes are prepared in our own kitchen by our team of chefs using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Unique seasonal dishes are an important part of our culinary brand and will be made available to our clients during the booking process.
Packages start at $75 per person  

Wine Services

As a historic wine country venue, it’s understood that Depot’s wine packages need to be outstanding. So we’ve put together a three-tiered collection of beverage options to meet our client’s varied needs, while still offering up notably delicious wines and libations at every level.
Packages start at $32 per person
