Harvest is HERE!

It’s go time! Harvest came in early and fast. We’ve already received 20% of our grapes for the year – Cab Sauv, Merlot, & Tempranillo from Red Heaven Vineyard & Syrah from our newest vineyard WeatherEye (a wild vineyard that goes over the top of the ridge at Red Mountain AVA and easily the most ambitious new vineyard project in North America. Look forward to hearing more about our new WeatherEye wines in the future).

We have about a dozen trips left to the vineyards for grapes this season. If you’re not following along on our stories on social media, now’s the time. We post our up-to-date winemaking in action there. Stop in to see the behind the scenes of our winemaking philosophy.

For the next few months, we’ll have portions of the parking lot blocked off for winemaking. But don’t worry, there is plenty of parking on the street. We do ask that you respect our neighbors at Acrafab (to our east) and Swiss Productions (to our west) and not park at their businesses.

Upcoming Events
