Schedule of the day

9am: Art & Jody (the owners of the vineyard) will welcome you with coffee and cakes. To start we will share with you how we choose and pick the grapes, we only pick the most perfect grapes to make our delicious sparkling wines. Tinwood grapes are hand picked to ensure the best grapes are used to create the highest quality wine.
9.30 am: We start working with our experienced vineyard team for 2 hours. You’ll be working closely with the vineyard team and can ask questions to find what makes the vineyard ‘tick’. In these 2 hours we will pick one of our different grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier.
12.00 pm: A three course rustic harvest lunch will be matched with a different glass of each of our three sparkling wines. You will have a chance to relax and regain some energy and enjoy the great feeling of working hard for something you enjoy! Afterwards you can take a seat in the sunshine or under our heaters on our outside patio overlooking the vines.
2 pm: We sit back, relax and look forward to enjoying the bottle of sparkling wine made from our selected grapes.
