There’s a running joke in the Finger Lakes: we get six months of winter, three months of something that might be spring, two months of fall, and one month of summer. While that may be a bit of an exaggeration, it’s all the more reason we’re excited to celebrate the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
Join us for an afternoon on the farm featuring farm tours, a HJW Vineyard Riesling Vertical with Fred, a walk around Barrel Tastings.
This ticket includes:
🍷The whole afternoon: 2pm Farm Tour, HJW Vertical Tasting at 3:15pm and Barrel Tasting at 5pm
Tickets are $135pp or $115 for Kabinett Members

There’s a running joke in the Finger Lakes: we get six months of winter, three months of something that might be spring, two months of fall, and one month of summer.

Walk-Around Mini Barrel Tasting 5pm-7pm
It’s been a while since we hosted what was once our annual Barrel Tasting, and we thought the Summer Solstice would be the perfect occasion to revive the spirit of that event, this time we will gather on our Press Pad to taste and enjoy.
The theme of the afternoon centers on Biodynamics and our home vineyard site, HJW. You’ll have the chance to explore several stations, including barrel and tank samples of upcoming Demeter-certified wines, a look at our potted grapevines—our own Chardonnay and Riesling clones from the HJW Vineyard and a station on how to bring Biodynamic practices into your own garden, featuring horsetail tea. Naturally, there will also be opportunities to taste current releases along with sneak peeks of wines in our Bio and Demeter-certified lineup.
🍷Join us for the Barrel Tasting – ticket includes: Barrel Tasting at 5pm
We’ll also be running Farm Tours at 4pm and 6pm that you can join with this ticket!
Tickets are $75pp or $50 for Kabinett Members

Exploring Fermentation & Aging Vessels
2025-06-30 15:00 - 16:15 | HJW Vineyard, 3962 NY-14, Dundee, NY, 14837, United States
Join us for an immersive exploration into the world of winemaking, where we delve into one of the most influential, yet often overlooked, aspects of a wine’s character: the vessel. This enlightening event invites guests to uncover how different fermentation and aging materials -such as oak barrels, stainless steel tanks, and sandstone amphorae – profoundly shape the taste, texture, and overall expression of wine.
Through a curated tasting of distinctive varietals including Chardonnay, Riesling, Saperavi, and Cabernet Franc, we’ll examine how each grape variety responds to its environment. Taste how oak can lend warmth, spice, and structure to Chardonnay or add depth and subtle tannin to a bold red like Cabernet Franc. Explore how stainless steel preserves the purity and crispness of Riesling, enhancing its aromatic vibrancy and mineral tension. And experience the ancient yet resurgent charm of sandstone, which offers gentle micro-oxygenation and imparts a soft, earthy roundness, particularly compelling in varieties like Saperavi.
Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or an inquisitive newcomer, this event is designed to deepen your understanding of the alchemy between grape and vessel. Guided by our knowledgeable winemaking team, you’ll leave with a richer appreciation of how these choices shape the final wine in your glass.
Tickets are $50 per person and $30 per Kabinett member. Please login to receive your Kabinett discount.
To taste through our full lineup of wines please make a separate tasting reservation. We’d suggest 1:15pm as tastings will be concluded by the end of your Open Doors experience.
