At the Windmill Winery in Florence, the grapevines, barn and farm-like setting provide a rustic backdrop for happy brides celebrating nuptials, couples observing an anniversary or various other events.

But since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the barn sits empty. The grassy, mesquite tree-lined yard has gone unused and the wine bar — a favorite spot to sit back and listen to live music while sipping a glass of wine — is closed.
