April 2007

Bud break has happened! With several weeks of warm weather, the once dormant vines have awoken from their winter slumber. Vineyard managers and their crews are busy cultivating the soil and making sure that their frost protection systems are in good working order. One of the most tenuous times to be a vineyard manager is during bud break because of the possibility for frost. A vineyard left unprotected from a hard freeze can completely ruin an entire vintage, so everyone is on his or her toes, including this duck on our Endeavour Vineyard pond!

  Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley  
 

 
Since 1990, Passport Weekend has grown into the valley’s premier event with 42 wineries participating this year. Wineries up and down Dry Creek Valley celebrate the magic of our valley with wine, food, entertainment and the hospitality for which the valley is famous. Many of the wineries create a theme around which they showcase their wines.

At Dry Creek Vineyard, we’ve brought the '70s back and it’s going to be Shagger-ific baby! In honor of our 35th anniversary, we’re bringing back shag carpeting, mood lamps, and tie dye. Our cellar will be super groovy with delectable nibbles.  We’ll also have a "chill out" zone for our guests to relax and enjoy the sounds of the '70s played by a local DJ.

Tickets are hard to come by, as this event sells out annually. Please visit: www.wdcv.com to learn more about the event and how to get tickets. For those of you with a prized ticket, we look forward to seeing you!
