The Summer Solstice at Hermann J. Wiemer Estate – Barrel Tasting

June 20 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

$50 – $75

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.

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
