Join Winemaker Fred Merwarth as he takes you on a journey of the history of Chardonnay from HJW - from the past to the role it plays today in our Demeter certified vineyard. Whether it is still wine, sparkling gems, or the ever important HJW Rockstar Chardonnay clone used in our Grapevine Nursery, there is so much to explore!

Join our vineyard management team for an in-depth look at how this farming process can be applied to a vineyard and its surrounding land, from the soil and floor up to the canopy. We will discuss the conversion process, animal integration and farm retrofitting, equipment, sprays, biodiversity and wildlife interaction, and the changes one might see as a vineyard evolves from conventional to organic to Biodynamic farming.

Visit us at Hermann J. Wiemer and enjoy a guided tour of our iconic HJW estate vineyard. Our Vineyard management team will accompany you into an exploration across the farm while they discuss Biodynamic farming practices.
