An Immersive Vineyard & Cellar Experience
Small groups. Hands on.
Join winemakers around the Umpqua Valley to get an inside look at the inner workings of their cellar. Formerly known as the “Harvest Tour,” this event has been moved from the Fall to the Spring, so that wineries can offer a better experience for guests.
Each winery will go in depth teaching you about winemaking, wine aging, and what happens in the cellar.
Taste award-winning wines, sample deliciously paired small bites, and meet passionate winemakers, as each winery gives you a peek behind the curtain of the magical harvest experience.
You’ll learn about:
- How vineyards are pruned for optimal ripeness
- Grape fermentation–checking brix and measuring temperature
- Blend different lots of wine, to experience how the winemaker creates a final blend
- Taste directly from a barrel of aging wine and learn how wineries use a “wine thief”
In addition to wine tasting, your ticket includes gourmet food bites, like:
- BBQ pork sliders
- Caesar salad lettuce wraps
- Wood-fired pizza bites
- Fresh baguette paired with small bites
- Dolmades made of grape leaves pulled from the vineyard
Questions are encouraged in this small-group setting where you’ll learn about the winemaking process while enjoying delicious wine and food from the Umpqua Valley.
Grab your friends and family, and plan your trip to the Umpqua Valley. We look forward to sharing the harvest experience with you.
