Sonoma Valley High School students in Future Farmers of America harvested their first winegrape crop of Sauvignon Blanc! The vineyard is grown on the school campus and overseen by SVVGA Member Phil Coturri of Enterprise Vineyards. The students did a great job throughout the year pruning and tending to the vineyard and picked the winegrapes this morning which are headed for Repris Wines. Congratulations on a great program and inaugural harvest! More photos on our #Facebook page. #SonomaValleyWine #TheRootsRunDeep #FFA #SVNextGen #SCHarvest #sauvignonblanc #svhs @pcoturri #harvest

Chris Loxton of @loxtoncellars and dad Bob Loxton harvesting #Chardonnay at night on the Loxton vineyard in #SouthAustralia! This year’s “Dad might retire” trip was perfect timing to catch a little bit of the action from the observation deck on the machine harvester (very different than the hand harvesting we use here). #familytradition #SonomaValleyWine #TheRootsRunDeep #harvest
