Experience harvest hands-on and appreciate the heritage of Heron Hill's Ingle Vineyard shaped by forty-year-old, sustainably farmed vines. Heron Hill Winery is running a sweepstakes to win a day with the Heron Hill Harvest Team for one person and a guest. From checking brix before hand-picking grapes, to assisting the winemakers with the action on the press pad and tasting first run juice -- you will participate in all aspects of the harvest and crush. Ingle Vineyard is located on the west side of Canandaigua Lake and Heron Hill Winery is located on the west side of Keuka Lake in Hammondsport, NY. The day will include a bountiful lunch in the vineyards with Heron Hill's owner showcasing local produce and Finger Lakes provisions. The winner and guest will also enjoy one-night accommodations at the historic Black Sheep Inn, a stylishly restored octagon house located in the village of Hammondsport, NY. The sweepstakes remains open for entries through August 15, 2015.
This is the third year Heron Hill Winery has run a harvest sweepstakes. Previous winners were from Endicott, New York and Portland, Maine. Specific harvest dates cannot be finalized in advance due to the many variables contributing to when vinifera grapes are determined ripe to pick. Heron Hill Winery will contact the winners to coordinate a date. Look for signage in all three Heron Hill tasting room locations, and in retail wine and spirits stores throughout upstate New York. Entries are also being accepted online. Go towww.heronhill.com/harvest2015 for more information and to enter to win. No purchase necessary, you must be 21 years or older to enter to win.
