Hand Picking vs. Machine Picking?

At Carrick Wines we prefer to hand pick our grapes. By hand harvesting we are able to select only the highest quality fruit for our wines.

It may take a little longer then machine harvesting but we feel the end products are well worth the extra time that it takes!

  Thanks for helping with Harvest 2011!  
         
 

 

Harvest is now completed for 2011 and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to all who came and enjoyed our Community Harvest. It is true that many hands make light work.

During the Harvest days we invited everyone to learn about the vineyard, and experience the grape harvest as a winegrower does, from the picking to the pressing.

After harvesting in the morning there was a hot catered lunch and a sneak preview of our much anticipated Red Wines (sampled straight from the barrels) before their release Mother's Day weekend 2012.

For our 2012 harvest we hope to share this unique experience with even more guests. Harvest usually begins late September so mark your calendar now and watch here for more details.
