Reclaim a little piece of the MBTB experience via our new Winter Wine Bubble at Michigan By The Bottle Tasting Room-Shelby Township! We now have TWO heated bubbles available at Shelby: one that seats up to four guests, and a NEW "couples" bubble that seats up to two people. Come out for a long-awaited date night, a change of scenery from your house or a get-together with your quarantine pod!

The $25 fee reserves the bubble for your group's usage for 90 minutes and helps offset the cost of propane, staffing, supplies, etc. There is no minimum purchase required during your visit. PLEASE NOTE: RESERVATION FEE IS PER BUBBLE, NOT PER PERSON.

Wine is available by the bottle or by the glass, but please note that we will not be serving flights in the bubbles to reduce staffing costs during this challenging time. We appreciate your understanding! Our snack menu is available, and outside food is welcome.

Please see below for more information. We look forward to seeing you soon and celebrating the season with you!

— FAQs —

Who can use the bubble? Social distancing is not available inside the bubble itself, so we strongly advise guests reserving one to be from the same household or "quarantine pod" for safety purposes. You must be at least 21 years of age with valid government-issued photo identification to reserve a bubble.

Can I squeeze extra people in the bubble? No, we're sorry, but due to safety constraints with the heaters, we can only accommodate up to four people in one bubble and two people in the other.

How are the bubbles heated? Each bubble contains a propane-powered heater, but this is still Michigan winter! We encourage you to bundle up for the elements. Since the bubbles are aired out between uses, the seats will most likely be cold when you arrive. Feel free to bring a blanket or any other accessories to help keep you warm!

What if I want to hang out in the bubble longer? Feel free to make back-to-back reservations! If you select two 90-minute timeslots back-to-back, you'll get the half hour in between FREE! So, for example, if you book the 12-1:30 p.m. slot and the 2-3:30 p.m. slot on a Saturday, you'll have the bubble from 12-3:30 p.m. with no interruptions.

Can I use a Groupon in the bubble? We're sorry, but Groupons cannot be redeemed in the bubbles due to our reduced staffing as we recover from the shutdown. However, we will be extending the redemption deadline for Groupons through April 1 indoors due to the shutdown.

What are masking requirements? Masks must be worn on the premises until guests are inside the bubble. We also kindly ask that you don a mask when our team members are inside the bubble serving for safety purposes. Masks are not required after that while inside the bubble. As noted above, we recommend that guests be from the same household or "quarantine pod" for safety purposes.

What else should I know re: COVID-19? If you feel ill, or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, we kindly ask that you do not reserve a bubble as a precaution. We appreciate you helping us keep our team and other guests safe.

How are the bubbles cleaned? Each bubble will be sanitized between uses. Based on CDC recommendations, we will not be using a fogger or mister; we will be wiping down surfaces with approved sanitizer. Each bubble will be aired out for at least 30 minutes in between uses.

What is the refund policy? Since we turn away other guests for your reserved time, there are no refunds on reservations once they're made. We appreciate your understanding.

Are there Eventbrite fees on this transaction? At this time, we are absorbing the Eventbrite fees in order to keep your price at $25.
