Winegrape Harvests 2023

 

 

Please join us in harvesting our winegrapes! 

 

We will harvest our Shiraz, Zinfandel and Pedro Ximénez varietals plus grapes for our Rosé blend. Please join us!

 

Thanks to our wet winter, this year we will have multiple grape harvests. Each harvest will be a weekend of joy as we celebrate the plants and the fruit of the vine. Here are our potential harvest weekends:

 

Sept 2-4th (Labor Day Weekend)

(Possible Shiraz harvest weekend)
Saturday: Arrive by 4 PM: participate in a vineyard tour and harvest instructions; set up your tent if camping; enjoy dinner and a campfire
Sunday: Harvest begins early and will end by lunch. You may choose to depart after lunch, or stay with us through to Monday.
Monday: If staying through to Monday, take an optional morning hike and help with a few vineyard projects, followed by brunch and then departure.

 

Sept 8-10th
Sept 15-17th
Sept 22-24th
Sept 29-Oct 1st
Oct 6-8th

Friday: Arrive after 4 PM: participate in a vineyard tour and harvest instructions; set up your tent if camping; enjoy dinner and a campfire
Saturday: Harvest begins early and will end by lunch. The afternoon can be relaxing and/or helping on vineyard projects. The evening will feature wine tasting and a harvest barbecue.
Sunday: Harvest begins early and will end by lunch, followed by departure.

 

Important note: These are predictions! Please sign up now, and we will confirm the harvests the week before—based on the what the grapes tell us.

 

We provide all of your meals during the harvest.  We recommend camping under the stars; some indoor rooms are available.  We will send you details and directions once you complete the registration below.

 

 

We’d love for you to join us for a delightful time of work, wine and laughter.

 

There is no fee, but please be sure to complete the registration form below. Families are welcome!  Sorry, no dogs are allowed.
