Master olive tree pruning
Francisco is a master at pruning olive trees. It’s not easy work. He gets in the tree and prunes from the inside out carefully selecting where to cut and being mindful of the final look.
Here are a couple photos from this week. If you have olive trees that need to be pruned be sure to reach out via the contact page!
Cloudy skies
We have a break in the rain and can get some work in the vineyard… but the clouds are hanging low
Different Winter Work
It snowed in the area! We’re not used to seeing snow and enjoying the change of pace. Being careful and helping cut down fallen trees around the vineyards this week:

Hillside Babies
We had a few planting projects this year, including replanting this hillside vineyard. Nothing like seeing new growth and potential in the vineyard.
And there’s the vineyard
After an epic clean up - weed whacking carefully between the vines earlier this year everything is clear and ready to soak up the sunshine.
Weed Whacking Champ
When it’s been a minute, and you need help weed whacking in the vineyard with precision - mowing down the weeds and protecting the vines. Francisco did and expert job in this vineyard. Here’s a picture of the before.
Clearing under growth
Whether for fire safety, creating an inviting space to enjoy on your property, or make it uninviting to pests… clearing brush and growth around the vineyard is a great.

Foggy Morning View
There’s nothing like having your head in the clouds. These views don’t get old.
Snow on the Mountains
We had some white-capped mountains in view this winter. The past few years has only given us a few frosty nights, but winter was back this year, and welcomed.
Retaining Wall
We had a big project this winter repairing and replacing retaining walls in the vineyard. Winter is a chance to update infrastructure in the vineyard.
