Tis the Season to be Jolly at LLWC!

It’s a magical time of the year at the winery. The 2019 vintage is tucked away in the back going through secondary fermentation. We celebrated Holiday Wine Festival with great customers old and new. And we enjoyed a much needed rest over the long Thanksgiving holiday. We’re back and ready to enjoy a great holiday season with all of you! Make sure to follow us on social media for the most up-to-date happenings at the winery.

Looking for the perfect gift? We’ve got gift cards, wine baskets, and bottles of wine. Or give the gift of wine club for a year!

Kicking Off The Holiday Season With Sales And New Releases!

Wow, what a harvest season! Our typical harvest lasts about 8 weeks and this year, due to the weather, we were compressed down to 4 weeks. It’s made for a crazy time around the winery, most of it playing Tetris, making sure we have enough room for fermentation bins and new barrels, or stopping by for early morning and late night punch downs. If you weren’t able to make it to the winery during crush season, don’t worry, we’ll still be pressing in the parking lot for the early part of November. During press we actually get a chance to taste the very young wine before it goes into barrels for secondary fermentation. We love showing people the process and would love to see you at the winery this November.

November’s Wednesday $5 glass pour is our gold Medal Winning 2016 Merlot. $5 every Wednesday in November.

Happy Hallo-Wine!
Thursday, October 31st 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.
