Snow day at the vineyard and mill!

We’ve made sure the seals on the tanks are 💯 and nothing is frozen (unless y’all want some ?) and the vines are overwintering anyways so all we need to do is make a fire and enjoy the ❄️

The second photo in front of the bathroom door has no wear, so extra evidence that the bathroom was later added - probably the same time the carpet was!

Come help us clean out the mill! Saturday 10am-2pm - we have a lot of items to “sell” to help raise funds to restore the mill.

Everything is name your own price - as much or as little as you want to donate. Every little helps and just taking things out of our storage room gives us a hand.

Or let us know if you can help in other ways!

Getting everything cleaned up for open house tomorrow!

We’ll be opening the gates for a few hours if folks want to come say hi. We have some items from the old mill and tasting room for “sale” - suggested donations to help fund restoration.

We’d love to meet people and talk about our plans for the winery and the mill.

See y’all tomorrow any time between 10am-2pm.
