Seasons in the Vineyard at Vine Cliff - From Bud Break to Harvest

VINE CLIFF VINEYARD SEASONS

Whenever you visit the Vine Cliff Estate, you'll find the seasons provide an ever-changing canvas of color and mood. From the sparkle and promise of the first bud-break of spring, to the summer warmth up on the estate's hilltops, through veraison, the bustle of harvest, giving way to the fireside warmth of fall colors, that then yield to the chilly morning fogs of winter. Each season's inherent beauty contrasts with the next, yet each plays its climactic role in contributing to a truly unique terroir.

Winter shares its own charm in the vineyards. Some days are more wet than others.
