Volunteers Needed for Bottling
March is always a hectic month around the winery because we are getting ready to bottle at the end of the month. All of the final checks on labels and packaging and deliveries can be a little stressful.
However, when it all comes together on bottling day it is very exciting! We invite you to come out and take a peek behind the curtain of how our wine makes it into the bottle. Our mobile bottler brings his equipment on a tractor-trailer that he backs right up to our loading door. He takes our finished wine and creates a finished product with capsule and labels on at a rate of about 52 bottles a minute.
It is truly something to see.
This year we are bottling on March 26 and 27. We give tours throughout the day of the bottling line during tasting room hours. Come on out and see it.
Or even better, come on out and help. Follow this link for volunteer sign-up. It’s an exciting way to spend a morning or afternoon. We’ll even feed you lunch. Then, you can be part of the team that works like crazy so our guests can be lazy!
“Winning a Best in Class award was tremendous validation,” said Jennifer Layton, General Manager. “These are the best wines in the state, and to be one of them is quite an honor.”
