For the Harvest Wine Trail,

wineries will need to offer (and list in the program) some sort of fun, "only during harvest" type of opportunity.

Think .....

Tasting different grapes.

Tasting fresh pressed grape juice.

Identifying various grape leaves.

Showing tools/ equipment, such as a refractometer.

Nothing daunting - just a fun insider look at something to do with harvest.

We have been selling about 150 tickets for our Wine Trails, so you will be offering this fun "harvest" experience for 6-20 people at the most - not 500.

Tickets on sale August 10

"After Hours"

Our Newest List

I have now added this to our home page, but there are only 12 wineries listed - it would be great to have 20 or more.

If you are open AFTER 5:00pm any night of the week, bi-weekly, or once a month - let me know. I'd love to get more added to our list!

If YOU offer an "after hours" experience please let me know ASAP.

I need the information listed below.
