Among the Vines

Something Beautiful Is Taking Shape in the Vineyard

 

Spring can look quiet from the outside. Yet, the buds are beginning to swell and the sap is beginning to flow demonstrating a new year of growth and possibilities is upon us. Marc and Andrew have begun to prune and preparations are underway for a new road to the farm in May! The spring ramps are emerging, ready for foraging and new dishes in the tasting room. Fences are going up to separate the wildlife from the prized early leaves and the vegetables are being planted to support our kitchen and chefs in their culinary creations.

PICTURE IT IN JUNE

Green canopies overhead. Long evening light stretching across the landscape. A table set between the rows. Music drifting through the vines.

There’s something about this place — open sky, water in the distance, rows that draw your eye toward the horizon — that feels made for gathering. The new road will make access easier. Spring pruning will shape how the vines frame a photograph. Even the wood being split now may one day warm guests gathered under the stars. For now, we’re simply tending the land, as we always do.

But as we work, we can’t help but imagine what it might feel like to host something truly special here — an evening among the vines, a celebration rooted in this place. Quiet times of preparation seem poised to deliver. And sometimes, preparation carries a quiet spark of possibility.

Stay tuned.
