Harvest Season on the Granite Belt — and the Pick Crush Plunge Experience
It’s harvest time across the Granite Belt — a time when the winemaker’s sleep schedule collapses and coffee becomes a food group!
Vineyards hum with activity and at the cellar door conversation often turns to “what’s being picked?” and “what’s going on out there in the vineyard?”
This is Granite Belt wine country at its most authentic and it is the most intense and important part of the year in a winemaker’s calendar.
Much of this work happens behind the scenes and most people only encounter wine once it’s finished, bottled, labelled and ready to drink, with little connection to the process that brought it there.
A Rare Chance to Step into Harvest
The Pick Crush Plunge experience offered by ridgemill estate grew out of a desire to bridge that gap.
It opens the door to harvest, giving people the chance to get hands on in the vineyard and winery and to see for themselves, the science behind turning grapes into wine — all while learning from a true winemaking expert.
