July 26th Singing Water
Vineyards
Calling
All Pickers
The experienced Singing Water
Picker window for sign up has
closed, so harvest is now open
to new pickers effective July
26th. We checked the weather
forecast, tested the grapes and
have the following to report:
Our first harvest day will be
our Pinot Grigio on Wednesday
August 4th starting at 7AM,
(weather permitting).
This is a slight delay due to
current sugar readings,
projected rate of increase and a
forecast of three days of cloudy
or rainy weather. We will need
about 25 to 30 people on
Wednesday August 4th.
Our second,
third and fourth harvest days
will probably be 2 days of
Merlot, followed by Syrah. We
think they will be ready
sometime between August 13 and
21. We will update, again, after
our next grape test.
If you are interested in
participating in our harvest as
a picker please click the button
below and let us know when you
would be available to pick and a
contact phone number. The
remaining spots will be filled
on a first come first served
basis.
