Fall Fun

What a great fall we are having.  So the new portion of the building is now open and last weekend we had lots and lots of folks come out and have a look.  Now we are adjusting schedules - we have been open friday evenings and that has been great so we will play it by ear for the coming few weeks.  It is also time to bottle more Viagem so we will also be offering the 'port blending' workshop in the coming weeks.  Another point on the scheduling - we weren't open last year on the day after thanksgiving but we had several calls asking if we were so this year, I think we will consider it - any thoughts?

It has been exciting to host the last few events - we've had a wedding reception, 3 rehersal dinners, a couple of family reunions and a few private parties.  So - now that we have the new space, I'm curious to see how people will use this space.  It's quite open, private and has direct patio access.  I know that we love it because we can be working outside, see someone coming and run in to greet them!  All the natural light is just great and I know that the new space was handy when we had the fire spinner last week!

So, in the coming weeks - port blending workshop and re-introducing the spices (including the mulling spices)!  If you have any requests or suggestions, please let us know!

Winery Grand Opening

Longtime coming but it's is time!  The tanks are full.  The crush pad has served it's purpose this fall and we are now ready to welcome friends and family to have a peek at the new (slightly expanded) indoor space and extended patio.  It is that time of the year when harvests are in, the days are getting shorter, the leaves are turning and it is time to gather with friends and family to spend some quality time together!  Hello fall!
