Now that we’ve turned the calendar to November and tomorrow (already!) turn our clocks back, we’re moving away from harvest mode around here and very much looking forward to Thanksgiving.  Technically, our harvest ended about 10 days ago when we brought in our last fruit.

Hello!

Hi, I'm Maria. My husband and I own a winery in downtown McMinnville, the heart of Oregon's spectacular Willamette Valley.
