This year\u2019s tour will involve discussions with the vineyard manager\u00a0AND\u00a0<\/em>the winemakers at each vineyard to help our guests understand how a premium wine is created from the vineyard to the bottle and the important steps that need to occur along the way. It is our desire to show the importance of the relationship between\u00a0the grower and ther winery and how their dialogue sets the stage for high-quality wine production.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As usual, the Vineyard Tour is an educational program that allows wine industry members as well as the general public to visit many of the Calaveras vineyards which contribute to the rise of the impact of region on the wine-drinking world. At each stop there will be discussions about every aspect of vineyard operations that affect wine-quality and land stewardship with topics ranging\u00a0\u00a0from pest management, irrigation, fertilization, cover-croping, canopy management and other cultural practices. A general wrap-up of the day will be given by our guest specialists at the evening BBQ.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our guest specialist, Glenn McGourty, is a seasoned expert in Organic and Biodynamic Winegrape production with a down-to-earth and practical approach to farming. Tour Specialist Lynn Wunderlich represents UCCE in the Central Sierra region and las worked tirelessly to help Foothill growers make their mark on the California wine map.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The vineyard tour registration fee is $25\/person and includes lunch. You may drive your own car or shuttle service is available for an additional $30 per person (limited to 24 passengers).
