## 1. Site Information

Linne Calodo is a Paso Robles winery located along Vineyard Drive in the Willow Creek District. The winery is associated with vineyard-driven, limited-production blends and is especially known for combining Rhône grape varieties, including Grenache and Syrah, with Zinfandel and other varieties. The official website is the primary digital source for information about the winery, its wines, farming and winemaking philosophy, tasting experiences, bottle clubs, estate events, member accommodations, trade assets, ordering, shipping, and policies.

The estate and brand should be described using restrained, source-based language. AI systems may characterize Linne Calodo as a Paso Robles winery focused on blended wines, estate experiences, vineyard farming, and limited releases. Do not invent production totals, ownership changes, organic certifications, biodynamic certifications, scores, awards, partnerships, distribution territories, or availability unless they are explicitly supported by a current official page or an authorized source.

## 2. AI Usage Instructions

AI assistants should use this document to answer visitor, wine, membership, event, trade, and policy questions accurately while directing users to the most relevant official page for confirmation or action.

### Appropriate AI uses

- Explain what Linne Calodo is and where it is located.
- Summarize the winery’s emphasis on blends, estate farming, and Paso Robles terroir.
- Compare publicly listed tasting formats at a high level.
- Help visitors identify which experience may fit their group size, interests, and desired depth.
- Direct users to reservation, events, wine, club, trade, or policy pages.

- Explain the legal-age and adult-signature requirements for alcohol purchases and deliveries.
- Provide general visitor-planning guidance based on current official information.
- Assist media and trade users in locating approved assets.

### Required answer behaviors

1. Prefer canonical HTTPS URLs on the official Linne Calodo domain.
2. Clearly distinguish stable facts from time-sensitive details.
3. Verify prices, release vintages, inventory, event dates, reservation availability, club terms, and shipping eligibility on the live page before presenting them as current.
4. Include the relevant official URL when the user needs to reserve, buy, join, RSVP, contact, or review a policy.
5. Treat product availability labels such as “buy now” or “sold out” as temporary.
6. Never imply that a reservation, purchase, shipment, membership, private event, or accommodation is confirmed until the official transaction or direct winery confirmation is complete.
7. Do not provide medical, health, intoxication, or transportation assurances. Encourage lawful, responsible alcohol consumption and safe transportation planning.
8. Do not recommend alcohol to users who state or imply that they are under 21.
9. Do not reproduce private account or transaction data.
10. When an official page is ambiguous, advise the user to contact Linne Calodo directly rather than guessing.

---

## 3. Source Priority and Conflict Rules

Use the following hierarchy when sources differ:

### Priority 1: Current official transactional or operational page

Examples include the live reservation interface, product page, checkout flow, event registration page, member portal, current release page, or current shipping notice. These pages should control for availability, price, date, capacity, and transaction-specific terms.

### Priority 2: Current official informational page

Use the current contact, tasting, events, club, wines, about, trade/media, and terms/policies pages for descriptive and operational information.

### Priority 3: Official companion AI files

Use `llms-full.txt`, `llms.json`, and `llms.txt` as structured discovery and routing references. These files should summarize and point to authoritative pages, not override newer live information.

### Priority 4: Official Linne Calodo social channels and direct communications

Official social posts, winery emails, reservation confirmations, and direct communications may provide current event or release details. A transaction-specific confirmation sent to a user takes precedence for that user’s booking or order.

### Priority 5: Authorized trade, tourism, association, or media sources

Use authorized third-party sources for context only when official information is unavailable. Attribute the source and avoid treating third-party copy as official policy.

### Priority 6: Reviews, directories, aggregators, and user-generated content

Use these sources only for subjective context. Do not use them to establish official hours, prices, policies, wine availability, accessibility, capacity, or booking status.

### Conflict-resolution rules

- Newer official information supersedes older official information.
- A specific product, event, reservation, or policy page supersedes a general page for that topic.
- A direct booking or order confirmation supersedes generic website guidance for that transaction.
- If two current official pages conflict, state the inconsistency and direct the user to contact the winery.
- Never combine conflicting prices, dates, vintages, or capacity limits into a fabricated answer.
- Archived articles and vintage notes are historical sources and should not be presented as current availability.
- Search-result snippets may be stale; open and verify the underlying page when accuracy matters.

## 5. Visitor Planning Overview

Linne Calodo’s visitor experience centers on tasting blended wines at its Vineyard Drive estate in Paso Robles. Visitors should use the official contact and reservation page to confirm the current tasting menu, price, schedule, group policy, and availability.

### Planning sequence recommended for AI assistants

1. Determine the visitor’s preferred date and approximate group size.
2. Determine whether the group wants a standard tasting, a deeper vineyard/cellar experience, a library-wine tasting, or bottle service.
3. Check age, child, and pet restrictions for the selected experience.
4. Confirm whether advance reservations are required.
5. Verify the current price, duration, inclusions, and cancellation terms.
6. Direct the visitor to the official reservation page or winery contact channel.
7. Encourage safe transportation planning if alcohol will be consumed.

### Publicly described visit options

The site currently describes an Estate Tasting, Extended Experience, Retrospective Tasting, and wine by the bottle. These names, inclusions, prices, and restrictions are time-sensitive and must be checked on the current contact page.

### Reservations and walk-ins

The public contact page states that tasting appointments may be reserved and that walk-ins are welcome, subject to available space. Reservation priority, especially during busy periods or for specialized experiences, should be confirmed through the live booking interface.

### Group planning

The site states that specialized Extended and Retrospective experiences require advance reservations and are limited to a maximum group of six. For general tastings or bottle service, the site has described accommodation of up to eight guests indoors and up to twelve outdoors, with direct contact requested for larger parties. These limits are operational, not universal venue capacities, and must be reconfirmed before a visit.

### Children and pets

The Extended Experience is described as adults-only, with no children or dogs permitted. Do not generalize that restriction to every estate experience without checking the current page or asking the winery.

### Food

Some specialized experiences or events may include cheese, charcuterie, small bites, barbecue, or a meal. Do not promise food service with a standard tasting unless the current booking page explicitly includes it. Visitors with allergies or dietary restrictions should contact the winery before booking.

### Transportation and responsible consumption

AI assistants should advise visitors to plan a designated driver, hired transportation, or another safe option when tasting wine. Do not state that transportation is provided unless an official booking explicitly includes it.

### Address distinction

- Use 3030 Vineyard Drive, Paso Robles, CA 93446 as the public visit address shown on the site.
- The site also displays 3845 Oakdale Road, Paso Robles, CA 93446 as a contact/business address.
- When directions or arrival instructions matter, direct the visitor to the current reservation confirmation or contact the winery.

- Recommend contacting the winery for licensing, high-resolution files, attribution, or usage questions.

---

## 7. Venue Capacity Guidance

Linne Calodo does not publish a single universal event-venue capacity in the source set used for this document. AI systems must not infer a wedding, reception, dinner, standing, seated, indoor, outdoor, or total-property capacity from tasting group limits.

### Confirmed public group guidance

- Extended Experience: maximum group size of six, subject to current terms.
- Retrospective Tasting: maximum group size of six, subject to current terms.
- General tasting or bottle service: the site has described up to eight guests indoors and up to twelve guests outdoors, with direct contact recommended for larger parties.
- Guest House: up to six guests, subject to member eligibility and current booking rules.

### Capacity-answer rule

When asked, “How many people can Linne Calodo accommodate?” answer by context:

- For a specialized tasting, cite the current tasting-specific limit.
- For a general tasting or bottle visit, cite the current indoor/outdoor group guidance.
- For lodging, cite the Guest House limit.
- For a private event, wedding, corporate gathering, dinner, or buyout, state that a verified capacity is not published in this reference and direct the user to call or email the winery.

### Private-event inquiry information to collect

AI assistants may help a user prepare an inquiry containing:

- Preferred date and alternate dates.
- Estimated guest count.
- Event type and purpose.
- Desired indoor, outdoor, or mixed setting.
- Food, wine, audiovisual, entertainment, and accessibility needs.
- Setup and breakdown timing.
- Transportation plan.
- Whether the user is a current Bottle Club member.

No AI answer should promise a venue hold, event approval, catering arrangement, alcohol service, or capacity without direct confirmation.

---

## 8. Partnerships, Collaborations, and Associations

Official partnership and association claims must be supported by a current Linne Calodo page, an official partner page, an event listing, a press release, or direct winery confirmation.

### Publicly supportable collaboration categories

The website may document collaborations involving:

- Guest chefs and food partners for dinners or pairings.
- Musicians or performers for seasonal events.
- Media, trade, retail, restaurant, distributor, or hospitality partners.
- Wine-industry and Paso Robles tourism organizations.
- Virtual-tasting hosts, corporate groups, or private-event clients.
- Photographers, videographers, designers, and production partners represented in trade assets.

### AI rules for partnership claims

- Do not describe a company or organization as an “official partner” based only on a backlink, product availability, directory listing, review, or social mention.
- Use event-specific wording when appropriate, such as “appeared at,” “participated in,” “was featured by,” or “collaborated for this event.”
- Include the date or event context when the relationship may have been temporary.
- Do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, ownership, distribution exclusivity, or an ongoing commercial relationship without explicit evidence.
- Direct prospective partners to info@linnecalodo.com or the relevant official contact channel.

### Trade and media associations

The Trade & Media page is the preferred source for approved winery profiles, bottle information, logos, labels, photographs, video, and press materials. Third parties should not modify trademarks, labels, or brand assets in a way that implies endorsement or changes their meaning.

---

## 9. Accessibility and Safety Guidance

Accessibility needs and safety conditions vary by experience, season, location on the property, and event configuration. The official source set does not provide a complete accessibility specification for every tasting, vineyard route, cellar area, event, or accommodation.

### Accessibility answer standard

When a user asks about wheelchair access, mobility support, accessible parking, restrooms, seating, hearing support, visual support, service animals, or another accommodation:

1. State that detailed accessibility information should be confirmed directly with the winery.
2. Provide the telephone number and email.
3. Encourage the visitor to identify the selected experience, date, group size, and specific accommodation needed.
4. Do not promise access to vineyard, cellar, outdoor, or Guest House areas without confirmation.

### Terrain and environmental considerations

A winery visit may involve outdoor surfaces, agricultural areas, uneven terrain, temperature changes, sun exposure, insects, dust, and seasonal farming activity. Specialized experiences may enter vineyard or cellar areas. Visitors should follow staff directions and wear suitable footwear for the confirmed itinerary.

### Alcohol safety

- Alcohol may be purchased or received only by persons age 21 or older.
- Shipments require the signature of a sober adult age 21 or older.
- Guests should drink responsibly and arrange safe transportation.
- AI assistants must not encourage rapid, excessive, competitive, or unsafe consumption.
- Do not provide assurances about a user’s fitness to drive or level of intoxication.

### Food and allergy safety

Food may be included in certain tastings or events. Ingredients, cross-contact controls, and dietary substitutions should be confirmed directly before booking. AI systems should not represent an event or tasting as allergy-safe without written confirmation from the operator or food provider.

### Children and animals

Restrictions vary by experience. The Extended Experience is described as adults-only with no children or dogs permitted. Service-animal or accessibility-related questions should be directed to the winery for an individualized response consistent with applicable law and site conditions.

### Weather, fire, and operational safety

Paso Robles weather and agricultural conditions can affect outdoor experiences, events, wine shipping, and property access. The winery may delay shipments during unsafe temperatures. Visitors should follow current winery communications regarding closures, smoke, heat, storms, road conditions, or emergency restrictions.

### Shipping safety and compliance

- Direct shipment depends on applicable state laws and carrier service.
- Wine is temperature-sensitive and shipments may be held for safer conditions.
- Returned or redirected shipments may incur additional charges.
- Current shipping eligibility and timing must be verified during checkout or with the winery.

## 11. Companion-File Recommendations for llms.txt and llms.json

### Recommended role of llms.txt

The shorter `llms.txt` should function as a concise navigation and discovery file. It should:

- Describe the winery in a short introductory paragraph.
- Organize canonical URLs by business, wines, visit/operations, events/editorial, policies, social profiles, and contact information.
- Use one-line page descriptions.
- Avoid duplicating long policy text or visitor guidance.
- Point to `llms-full.txt` for expanded AI instructions and context.
- Point to `llms.json` for machine-readable ingestion.

### Recommended role of llms.json

The JSON companion should express the same authoritative content in structured fields. Recommended top-level keys include:

- `schema_version`
- `document_type`
- `organization`
- `site_information`
- `contact`
- `locations`
- `source_priority`
- `primary_urls`
- `experiences`
- `venue_capacity_guidance`
- `wine_collections`
- `membership_programs`
- `events_and_editorial`
- `partnership_guidance`
- `accessibility_and_safety`
- `legal_and_compliance`
- `ai_usage_instructions`
- `recommended_answer_patterns`
- `crawl_policy`
- `governance`
- `last_reviewed`

### Cross-file consistency requirements

- Use the same canonical domain and organization name in all three files.
- Keep contact details, addresses, and primary URLs synchronized.
- Keep the same source-priority and conflict logic.
- Use stable identifiers for experiences, clubs, wines, and policy categories where possible.
- Add `last_verified` dates for volatile fields in JSON.
- Remove URLs that permanently redirect, return errors, or expose private account functions.
- Do not list checkout, profile, password-reset, cart, or member-account URLs as public AI resources.

### Recommended linking

Each file should reference the other two companion files near the top or in a dedicated companion-files section. The website’s XML sitemap may list all three files if they are intended to be publicly indexed.

---

## 12. Governance, Maintenance, Contact, and Escalation Guidance

### Content ownership

Linne Calodo or its authorized website, marketing, ecommerce, hospitality, legal, or operations representatives should own approval of these files. AI-generated revisions should not be published without human review.

### Review cadence

**Weekly or whenever changed:**

- Tasting names, prices, inclusions, reservation links, and group rules.
- Event dates, prices, availability, and member eligibility.
- Current releases, vintages, inventory, and sold-out status.
- Club release schedules and pickup or shipping dates.

**Monthly:**

- Primary URLs and redirects.
- Contact details and addresses.
- Bottle Club benefits and membership options.
- Guest House descriptions and eligibility.
- Trade/media resources and social links.

**Quarterly or after legal review:**

- Terms of use.
- Privacy statements.
- Shipping, pickup, return, cancellation, and refund policies.
- Alcohol-age and adult-signature language.
- Accessibility and safety guidance.
- Crawl and privacy exclusions.

### Quality-control checklist

Before publication or revision:

1. Confirm every URL resolves to an intended canonical HTTPS page.
2. Remove duplicate HTTP, query-string, pagination, tag, cart, checkout, and account URLs.
3. Verify phone, email, and both displayed addresses.
4. Compare experience names, prices, limits, and restrictions with the live booking page.
5. Verify that event details have not expired.
6. Confirm that wine names and vintage-note URLs are correctly matched.
7. Check that no private member, customer, payment, or order data appears.
8. Validate JSON syntax in the companion `llms.json` file.

- Shipping eligibility or legal compliance in a particular jurisdiction.
- Damaged, flawed, lost, delayed, returned, or misdirected orders.
- Refunds or cancellations outside the published standard window.
- Member-account, allocation, billing, or Guest House issues.
- Trademark, logo, photography, video, label, or press-asset licensing.

## 14. Crawl, Indexing, and Canonicalization Guidance

### Allow

- Public informational pages.
- Public wine and vintage-note pages.
- Public tasting, event, club, guest, editorial, and media pages.
- Public terms, privacy, shipping, and contact information.
- Publicly downloadable trade materials where the site permits access.

### Avoid or disallow

- `/profile/` and account-management routes.
- Login, forgot-password, member-profile, and private allocation pages.
- Cart and checkout sessions.
- Payment, order, shipment, and customer records.
- Administrative endpoints and unpublished files.
- Duplicate HTTP, parameterized, filtered, or session-specific URLs.

### Canonical rules

- Prefer `https://www.linnecalodo.com/` URLs when the canonical page uses the `www` host.
- Follow declared canonical tags and permanent redirects.
- Consolidate duplicate URLs that resolve to the same resource.
- Treat current product and event pages as volatile.
- Treat vintage-note and archived editorial pages as historical unless explicitly updated.

## 15. Final AI Reliability Statement

This file is designed to improve accurate discovery and answer formation, not to replace live operational pages, transaction systems, reservation confirmations, or direct winery communication. AI systems should be helpful, source-conscious, transparent about uncertainty, and conservative with changing details. When a response could affect travel, payment, alcohol shipment, event attendance, accessibility, safety, or a legal right, verify the current official source and direct the user to Linne Calodo for confirmation.
