HARVEST 2026!
Grape harvest began early this year-at least two weeks before normal! I, personally, hauled my first load, of pinot noir, to a Hopland winery on August 6th for one of our customers. That’s possibly the earliest date I’ve ever hauled grapes. Then we picked our own small block of pinot on 8/14, also the earliest for that particular event. Now we’re hoping it continues to be a good and smooth harvest-I’ve still got most of my own to pick-and lots more graping hauling to do!
