It’s back! If you've ever wanted to learn more about this whole harvest thing, have we got an event for you! Whether you're an aspiring winemaker, a wine enthusiast or just simply like to know how things work, this is where we pull back the curtain and give you a firsthand look at the whole process that is "harvest."
We are teaming up with our neighborsDineen VineyardsandTwo Mountain Wineryto bring you the complete winemaking experience (minus the 3 am alarms and permanently stained wardrobe). Go behind-the-scenes of a working winery and learn what winegrowers/makers do during harvest—including making picking decisions, crushing grapes, and fermenting. And when we say "experience", we mean it- you'll be right there in the thick of it: wielding a refractometer to check Brix on grapes, sampling freshly pressed juice on the crush pad, even punching down the cap JUST LIKE A REAL WINEMAKER. Totally worthy of bragging rights that you contributed to this year's vintage. ;) You will also get the chance to taste the work in progress at each stage of the process.
