What to know:
- Harvest involves the clipping of grapes from the vines, ie bending/crouching down. You may also choose to bring a small lightweight stool for comfort.
- Long sleeves, long pants and close-toed shoes are required. Hats are also great! **once we start picking, yellow jackets will get interested in what we’re up to**
- Please bring pruning shears/clippers, gloves and a clean bucket if you have one.
- Dancing Fish will provide lunch.
- In keeping with past tradition, we are planning to blend the three white varietals we grow (Madeleine Angevine, Burmunk, and Siegerrebe) to make “MABS”.
- When ready, harvest volunteers will have first access to the wine they helped make!!
There are 30 spots available. If you'd like to join us, please sign up by clicking the RSVP button on this page and entering your information.
