Harvest 2023

After a long winter, harvest is about a month later this year, but we’re in it now. And the fruit is looking healthy and great!

Vineyard check Aug

We finally have verasion in the vineyards… the grapes are turning color as they ripen. We’re later this year, but the grapes look great.

Super weed whacking

Sunshine and weed whacking

Summer temperatures and sunshine have finally arrived and we’re out in the vineyard keeping up. Weed whacking and keeping it clean. We’re also suckering the vines.

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!

Weed whacking has started

Look at this amazing job from this week around the vineyard

Cloudy skies

We have a break in the rain and can get some work in the vineyard… but the clouds are hanging low

Tree work

With all the storms we have been having here in Northern California there has been an increase of tree work to clean up. More tree work this week as well.

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:

We had a few planting projects this year, including replanting this hillside vineyard. Nothing like seeing new growth and potential in the vineyard.
