Previous Events

The June & July lunchtime tours were delicious and edifying successes. Vineyard manager Dustin Miller showed us the pre-bloom clusters, and then the maturing fruit as it headed for veraison. See pictures of the July and June events.
This time we'll see the grapes really getting geared up for harvest, and the beautiful sunset from our idyllic Savannah Ridge wine country.
