"VERAISON IN THE VINEYARD", SATURDAY, JULY 30TH, 12-5:00 PM, PRE-ORDERED REQUIRED BOX LUNCHES BY CARBON CATERING
"Veraison", also known as "berry softening" and commonly defined as "the onset of ripening," is the time when berries begin accumulating sugar and their color changes, the white grapes like Chardonnay change from green to golden and the red grapes like Pinot Noir, change from green to purple. Come witness first hand this exciting occurrence taking place at Ankida Ridge Vineyards, Saturday, July 30th. This rare opportunity will allow you to go behind the scenes/behind the grapevines for a tour of our vineyard site. Tours will be conducted at 1:00pm and 3:00pm. Space is limited for each tour and you MUST sign up for your preferred time slot by emailing holly@ankidaridge.com Our afternoon celebrating Veraison would not be complete without catered box lunches by Carbon Catering. You MUST pre-order the box lunch prior to July 27th. (The box lunch menu will be released on our website soon.)
**If participating in a vineyard tour, it is advised to drive an AWD or 4WD vehicle if possible.**
