Lafond Winery is holding an Open House tomorrow to celebrate harvest over the long festival weekend in wine country. The open house will take place during normal tasting room hours (10am-5pm). Cheese and tacos will be served amidst a backdrop of harvest flurry. White fermenter bins, forklifts hauling grapes, juice, seeds, and skin. See first hand a portion of the process through which grapes turn from fruit on a vine to wine in a bottle.
Santa Barbara Winery and Lafond will be accepting the Vintner’s Visa starting today through Monday. This ticket is $35 and gets you free tastings at 12 participating wineries throughout the four days. We are all set for a warm, crystal clear weekend (which is a bit more than I can say for this years Vintner’s Festival a few months back). For more information on participating wineries and weekend events and happenings check out the Santa Barbara Vintner’s Association website.
If you are attending Saturday’s Harvest Festival come say hi at both of our booths. Enjoy the long weekend, take a drive out to the Santa Ynez Valley, and be safe.
