Yes, harvest is over. Pretty much everyone in Sonoma County is finished bringing in their grapes if they aren’t doing late harvest wines……
However, don’t let this fool you into thinking that wine country goes to sleep from October-January. The creeping of the seasons towards the end of the calendar year-just brings the beginning of the year that much closer and already we’re all hard at work planning our late Fall and Winter parties, tastings, and special events.
First up-we’ve got a BIG cellar sale on the 1st Saturday in November.
Then there’s the BIG Pig Party in November (we had over 100 people at this last year-and had to stop taking reservations!). And then we’re still putting our heads together over the Holiday Event we’ll have for our Wine Club members in December……….
During which time the vineyards will be turning from yellow, gold, and orange to purples, and reds and then to naked, dormant vines waiting out the crisp winter weather to awaken once again in the Spring…….
I’m caught up in appreciating the beautiful Autumn ’scapes right now in Dry Creek Valley-I take a camera with me to work each day in case I see a view I just have to capture on film. Stay tuned for more updates on our event calendar, or just give me a call anytime if you’d like to hear about any new fun things we’ve got going on here at the Estate………..
