Fall is known as harvest time and for the wine industry this is true as well. For the wine enthusiast who truly wants to learn all they can about the winemaking process there is no better time to visit wine country than during the fall harvest. Many wineries have special festivals, which allow visitors to experience not only tastings but also the whole experience from vine to the bottle.
These events include things to do for the entire family in most cases. With agriculture activities for kids to cooking demonstrations and even the classic grape stomp there is something for everyone. As the summer winds down a harvest festival may be just the best way to spend a weekend with the family before the cold weather sets in. Come and stay for a day in wine country or spend the entire weekend. Just remember to bring along your wine bags so you can safely bring back those fine bottles of wine that you purchase over the weekend.
There is nothing like a fall harvest festival in wine country and getting the experience of seeing the grapes come off the vine and being prepared for making some of the finest wines available.
