Visit us at Hermann J. Wiemer and enjoy a guided tour of our iconic HJW Vineyard. Over an exploration of our estate you’ll be joined by a member of our Vineyard team in a discussion of our Biodynamic farming practices. You will learn how we utilize cover crops, animals (get ready for a photo-op with our sheep!), phenology, homemade teas and biodiversity across the estate – and how all of that impacts the winemaking and final character of our wines.
After the tour you’ll taste a small selection of wines to help connect what you’ve seen in the vineyard to what’s in your glass. If you’d like to do a more expansive tasting, we highly recommend making a separate reservation for a seated, educational tasting at 1:30pm to finish before the tour begins.
