29,000 Pounds and Counting
29,000 pounds of grapes.
That’s how many grapes we crushed this week! If you’re wondering what harvest season looks like around here, that number probably tells you just about everything you need to know.
Those grapes will eventually become some of the wines you know and love, including favorites like Timeless, Destiny, and Summer Breeze. There’s something pretty rewarding about seeing all those grapes come in after spending the season watching, worrying, waiting, and working in the vineyards. It’s a lot of work, but this is what we’ve been working toward all year.
And apparently crushing 29,000 pounds of grapes wasn’t enough vineyard work for one week!
We’ve also been busy planting vines here at the winery. Even Maddox got in on the action, lending a hand after cross country practice. We’ll take the help wherever we can get it—especially this time of year!
Our staff deserves a special thank you this week, too. Harvest season keeps everyone moving, but they’ve also been very patient with Jessie following them around with her phone, taking pictures and videos for our social media. They may not always love being her latest content subjects, but they’re pretty good sports about it. More importantly, they continue to jump in wherever they’re needed, and we really couldn’t do any of this without them.
Now we’re heading into another fun week at the winery.
Trivia Night is this Thursday, and we’re excited to have Tony Nichols hosting! We had such a great response to our first trivia nights that we’re looking forward to doing more of them. Grab a team, brush up on your useless knowledge, and come have some fun with us.
Saturday brings even more reasons to head our way. Yoga at the Winery kicks off this weekend and will be happening every Saturday throughout September. If a little yoga followed by winery time sounds like your kind of Saturday, be sure to sign up through the Eventbrite link.
And while you’re here Saturday, Sigler Farm will be joining us for a mum sale all day. Fall is getting closer, whether we’re ready for it or not!
Behind the scenes, Harvest Fest planning is officially in full swing, too. We have some really fun things planned for October 22–25, and we’re getting more excited as everything starts coming together. We’re not spilling all the details quite yet, but trust us—there’s plenty more to come.
From 29,000 pounds of grapes to planting vines, trivia, yoga, mums, and Harvest Fest planning, there’s a lot happening around here.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Cheers,
Judy
