Enhanced COVID-19 Health & Safety Measures

Riggers Loft maintains a strict COVID-19 protocol in order to keep customers and personnel safe. All seating areas are distanced at least 10' apart. Customers must wear masks at all times inside and outside the winery, except when seated at their designated, socially distant seating area. All surfaces are cleaned routinely with Vital Oxide, a CDC approved agent that kills viruses. Extra personnel has been hired to maintain our protocol. All personnel wears both masks and gloves at all time. A wash station is placed right inside the front door and touch-less hand sanitizers are placed throughout the winery. The bathrooms are outfitted with touch-less sinks, soap dispensers and towel dispensers. Seating areas are re-sanitized before the next customers sit down. All glassware is washed in a professional glassware dishwasher that reaches 160 degrees. Prior to washing all racks of dirty glasses are submerged in a sodium peroxy-carbonate solution before being put in the glass dishwasher. Sodium peroxy-carbonate is one the most effective disinfectant agents and is a combination of soda ash and hydrogen peroxide, an extremely effective killing agent of viruses, bacteria and molds. We care about the health of all our customers and pride ourselves in our strict protocol. Our goal is to keep Riggers Loft a "safe zone" where people can come to relax and unwind.

About the Space

Riggers Loft once played a vital role in building Liberty and Victory ships during World War II as a part of the Kaiser shipyards in Richmond, CA. The building currently is a working winery and a unique venue for your events or meetings with 7,000 SF of interior space and 5,000 SF outside. It offers a panoramic view of the San Francisco skyline, from Oakland to Marin. It is chic with a gritty urban feel that reflects the building's history and showcases history-in-the-making on San Francisco Bay. Inside is a blank slate of possibility to design a perfect backdrop for your event. Wine barrels beautifully delineate and configure the space as needed. The soaring ceiling features open truss framework perfect for lighting and decoration. Inside, the Bay view is unobstructed with abundant windows. Outside, there is a large patio available for use and a double Bocce Court. While the road winds around the Port of Richmond, the drive is worth every curve as it ends on the water to a most fantastic view. Riggers Loft is a one of a kind destination for your event!
