Pressing of the Cabernet
Get involved in squashing some grapes.
Overview
This event embodies the hands-on approach to winemaking. Although the Pressing of the Cabernet might sound like the title of a grim medieval painting, it's actually a pretty cool (and free) event. Tractorless Vineyard's wine series Creator's utilises some old-fashioned winemaking techniques, like leaving the skin and seeds on for longer to produce complex and rich wines. The pressing of grapes is one of the fun techniques, which you can get involved in, and taste the fruits of your labour (literally) along with two other vintages when you're done helping it. If you want to get involved, make sure you wear clothes that get a little (or a lot) dirty.
