10TH ANNUAL HARVEST FEST CELEBRATION
A DAY AT THE VINEYARD!

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2011

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.
