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!
