DON’T MISS OUR HANDS-ON GREEN HARVEST EXPERIENCE

&  Picnic-style Lunch (optional) – Sunday, August 12

Join Strewn winemakers Joe Will and Marc Bradshaw for our Green Harvest event! The session begins with a private wine tasting and harvesting instructions. Then you’ll head out to the vineyard to thin grape clusters off the vine to allow the remaining grapes to concentrate more of the sun’s energy to ensure the best fruit for the best wines.

Following the Green Harvest, you will crush grapes to create a tart, fresh green juice called Ver Jus or “Ver juice”; a culinary ingredient produced in many of the world’s wine regions. After the hands-on session you can enjoy an optional casual lunch. Details to follow.
