Herbal Collective is holding a small but unique fair at the Winery. Saturday May 25th. Wellness, herbal workshop, essential oil workshop, aromatherapy. Join us for the afternoon. Wine, and snacks will be available on the patio. Everyone is welcome. Pets must be on a leash at all times, as we have farm animals that run free range.
A charming outdoor market with fresh food, vintage treasures, handmade items & live music. Over 30 unique vendors from across the island. Food trucks, ice cream, and of course wine tasting. Lots to see and do! Walk through our beautiful vineyard, and sample some wine a while listening to live music on the patio.
And here it goes, another year ahead of us. Cheers to hours spent in the vineyard trimming suckers, shoot thinning and pulling weeds. We look forward and hope for a busy successful year ahead. We hope you follow us along the journey.
We are super excited for the new wine releases in June, so stay tuned…..

We have just released our 2016 Heritage Apple. Small batch of mixed heirloom apples and Ortega grapes. Our apples were hand-cut, hand-macerated and pressed into stainless and blended with Ortega. This fun, unique blend is a dry aromatic wine with beautiful notes of ripe apples and honey.
Available in the tasting room only. This cider style wine makes the perfect Christmas gift, and the label is too cute.
It’s Christmas at the Winery! Join us on the weekends for the month of December.
Enjoy our delicious mulled wine by the glass, and mingle around the fire. Snacks are available.
Saturday & Sunday 12-5pm.
Happy Tasting
I am taking orders for hand-made Christmas wreaths until December 22nd. Please call me to place your order.
And just like that Harvest 2017 has finished. It was a hectic spring, summer and fall, with a few mishaps along the way, but it is such a relief to have the crop picked. We get to sleep in a little bit later now, but its also a busy time in the cellar with the fermentations finishing up, its now racking racking and more racking. We still have ¼ of the vineyard netting to take down, and in time it will happen. Christmas is around the corner again, another busy time of the year with events, bottling and new wine releases. We are 2 weeks out from the release of our Heritage. The heritage is a blend of Ortega Wine, and Apples . We called this heritage, as its made with a variety of heirloom apples from our orchard block. The trees there are well over 100 years old. The perfect late fall wine.
