WAKARUSA VALLEY VINEYARD
PHILOSOPHY
“Wine is the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages.”
― Louis Pasteur
“Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world..."---Ernest Hemmingway
WINE
Wine improves with age. The older I get, the better I like it! Out on the farm, we only occasionally make wine, preferring to encourage the artful crafting of wine by those purchasing our grapes. This boosts our experience crafting a better grape. We experienced a great harvest in 2022.
OPEN DAYS
No official hours, no we don't have wine tasting. During the growing season, we are often out in the vineyard.
With the arrival of harvest in August and September, it will be an exciting time. Call, and come see and experience fresh wine grapes. We will be selling some and then crushing some for wine.
EVENTS
We always look forward to visitors, and can give you ar tour of the vineyard and farm. But call ahead, to be sure we're here.
Many people like the experience of pruning vines and harvesting grapes. We have plenty of that, and welcome all!
WINE MAKING...
...is an art and a passion. Careful craftsmanship and care produces a great beverage from the beautiful grapes. Red grapes available to bottle or blend are Chambourcin, Frontenac, Fredonia, St Vincent and Baco Noir. White grapes are Vignoles, Melody and Traminette, and Itasca.
