October is here and it’s time to fall for our mountains. There’s nothing like the beautiful colors that begin to appear in the vineyards once the grapes have been plucked. Come see the changes of the seasons, and pick up your special Fall Caramels – get a custom logo’d 2-pack with every two bottle purchase, while supplies last.
Soon, the estate Chardonnay vines will be turning red and gold, as their big-bunched bounty has already been destemmed and put into barrel for fermentation. While the weather is still warm and Indian Summer-like, pack a picnic and come taste and soak up the scents and tastes of harvest, where he air is fragrant with the unmistakable aromas of fermenting grapes.
