Video: 2018 Summer at our Vineyard & Winery
Late summer is always an exciting time of year at the vineyard and winery, as we begin to harvest our 150 acres of grapevines and turn the grapes into wine. Our vineyard crew will be hard at work, picking all of the grapes by hand at nighttime so the grapes can be delivered to the winery cold, first thing in the morning.

2018 Spring Wine Releases
Once a quarter, we release four new wines. The wines are first released to our Wine Club members at a discounted rate, and then to the general public the following season at the full price. Sharing our wines for the first time after the years of hard work and dedication is exciting, and we hope you enjoy drinking them as much as we enjoyed crafting them!
