How Wine is Grown

The Art of Blending
Saturday, August 17
Be a winemaker for the day, blending Groth Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, discovering how each variety contributes to the finished wine. Compete with your classmates to create the most balanced and intriguing blend.
The Magic of Harvest
Saturday, September 21
There’s no more magical time than harvest! Walk the vineyard with Director of Winegrowing Ted Henry to gather grapes, then return to the winery to evaluate their ripeness and predict the optimal pick date. Tour the crush pad and cellar to learn the crucial first steps of turning fruit into wine. Hopefully harvest will already be under way, and we’ll taste the first juice of the 2024 vintage!
