The Ranch Life 2025 "Grapevine to Glass Program" at Cedar Creek!

Live the winemakers dream! Surround yourself with the sights and sounds of the vines and let them take you to places you have never imagined while you learn to grow your own wine grapes. Be surprised at what the vines will teach you about yourself!

This is a personalized guided experience limited to 12 participants per season. You will experience the exact process we take farming our grapes and cooking over open fire during our work day.

Starts: Saturday April 12, 2025 1-4pm RAIN or SHINE!

What to expect:

1-2pm Program Overview

Each participant will "own" and farm 100 vines of ultra premium Cabernet Sauvignon.

Karen will guide you through "the how's" and what to look for in your vineyard in addition to challenges you can anticipate as the vines and grapes mature through the season. Sample of tasks you will learn: Pruning, canopy management, suckering, ground management, and how to tell when to harvest the grapes! 

2-3pm Wine Appreciation and Potluck-conversation, Q&A and introductions!

Karen will take you through a guided "vertical" tasting of previous Cabernet Sauvignon vintages while we enjoy a community potluck meal! She will teach you how to "notice" various nuances of flavor and aromatics in wines as they age connecting you to the aromatics you will smell in your vines as you farm throughout the season.

3-4pm Let the fun begin! Visit your vines and get to know them!
