Open Doors: Farm Tour

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.

Please note:
*The is a medium length walking tour over dirt roads, into the vineyard and on non-level terrain.
*Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather and wear appropriate footwear.
*The tour may bring you in close proximity with the sheep on our farm – if this is at all a concern, please let your tour guide know and they will ensure you’re able to keep your distance.
*Please leave your own animals at home out of respect for our livestock.
*There is no break area or restroom while out in the vineyard so please make sure all your needs are met before the tour begins.
