November News

As we approach the holiday season, the vines are ready to go dormant for the winter. The cooler air and softer light bring a quiet beauty to our vines — and each year, we prepare the soil for the seasons ahead. We’ve planted cover crops across all our vineyards to fix nitrogen and boost soil health, and hold the soil in place during heavy winter rains. This is also the time to clean out owl boxes so they will be ready for a new family in the Spring.

As vines go dormant, olive and mushroom seasons begin. Olive harvest near Thanksgiving, then wild and cultivated mushrooms follow. We aim to grow the elusive Perigold Truffle, the toughest of all. This winter, join our events to learn about the process, meet the handlers and truffle-hunting dogs.
