LONG ISLAND WINE COUNTRY. COM's
8TH ANNUAL HARVEST FEST CELEBRATION
A DAY AT THE VINEYARD!

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2009

Harvest is a vintner's celebration of the culmination of a year's hard work. It marks the transition period in the winemaking cycle from vineyard to cellar. In physical terms, it is the process of picking ripe grapes from the vine.

Long Island Wine Country.com cordially invites you to take part in this once-a-year activity by joining our fifth annual Harvest Fest 2009"Day in the Vineyard".

This full day event will take place at Laurel Lake Vineyards, in the quaint hamlet of Laurel, on the North Fork of Long Island. Laurel Lake Vineyards is a modern vineyard & winery focusing on producing premium quality estate wines. The winery building features a massive elevated wrap around deck that offers a picture perfect view of the vineyard below.

Harvest Fest 2009 is a full day, fun-filled educational event. Attendees will gain a new appreciation for how wine gets into the bottle. Clip the vines, pick the grapes, and have the opportunity to custom blend your own bottle of wine*!

The event is hosted by Christopher Davies, Publisher & Co-Founder of Wine Country International® magazine, and president of Long Island Wine Country. COM. Davies’s is an internationally recognized wine authority who preaches “attitude-free” wine!
