Grape Stomping is the traditional way of separating juice from skins (white wine process) or wine from skins (red wine process). Guests can stomp grapes for fun on a "first come, first served" basis. And there is more!!! On Sunday, September 4, we will judge the "Lucy & the Italian Woman Costume Contest" for the best Lucille Ball & the Italian Woman impersonation!

Pairing wine with food is a lifelong pursuit, with many do’s and don’ts. In general, it comes down to personal preference and a goal of complementary flavors that balance and enhance your experience. Over the years, wine experts focused on meats, cheeses, and dishes, but they never thought to look at another staple of any global cuisine – bread. So, we thought it would be fun to look at the bread and find some delicious pairings.
