Vineyard & Winery Tour

ITINERARY

Guests will be greeted by the winemaker in the Tasting Room. They will be given a short introduction to the farm, the vineyard, and the Winery. Guests will then move to the vineyard and be given a description of vineyard management and demonstrations that are suitable for the time of season. (For example, during the fall and spring, the demonstration would be geared towards the pruning of the vines; in the summer, canopy management; and in late summer, harvesting.) The next section of the tour will be at the crush pad where the winemaker will demonstrate static setup and the sequence of grape harvest, selection, de-stemming and pressing. Guests will then enter the production area where they will be given an explanation on the fermentation, pumping, racking, barreling, filtering and bottling of wine. The Winemaker will describe the various production methods/considerations for white, rosé, and red wines, as well as for our apple ciders, our Piquette (sparkling) and our port style wines. Guests will be offered a barrel sample, if there is wine that is ready to be tasted. After the tour, guests will be brought back to the Tasting Room to enjoy a charcuterie plate and a glass of red, white or rosé wine. Guests will have additional time to ask questions and visit with the winemaker.
