The Vineyard Cycle
January through March
Focus is on Cane Pruning Vines: The art of cutting back the vine, leaving only a few canes to produce the most shoots.
April and May
New vines are planted and established vines begin waking up from a long winter nap!
June through August
Vines grow and grapes ripen. Term to know: Veraison–When berries change color and start to sweeten.
September through November
Time to Harvest. Generally white varietals first; then reds.
December
Vineyard is dormant and we can enjoy the snow!
