Hello Wine Enthusiasts ~ With bud break happening in the vineyard, it is a great time to come visit and see all the new growth on the vines! The “bud” contains everything that will become the plant. The grapes, the leaves, and the shoots. The “break” refers to the tiny buds literally breaking out of the protective gear that they hide under during winter dormancy.
As temperatures in the ground increase, the roots are stimulated and moisture makes its way up. The vines take their cue to grow, and leaves begin to form on the tiny buds. When bud break is officially declared, you’ll see lots of leaf action on the individual buds. And there you have it!
We are open Friday through Sunday from 12pm to 5pm.
