Start of Picking

We will start general picking on the 14th March and the season is likely to run through to early April (Easter??).

Picking your own

If you are planning to pick your own, you can let me know your preferred date. Anytime from the 14th March.

Collecting from the Vineyard

If you are collecting your grapes from the vineyard, let me know a date and I'll organise for them to be picked fresh. Sunday collections will have been picked on the Saturday as my pickers don't work Sundays.

Deliveries

I'll start scheduling deliveries shortly. Most deliveries will have to be during the week as I have been unable to get a driver and I'm needed at the vineyard on the weekends. As noted above picking is likely to run through to early April. If your needs don't fit my delivery run, you are most welcome to collect from the vineyard.
