March is harvest time! Book now to make your own wine and share with family and friends.
Tractorless Vineyard, nestled in the Southern Highlands, is a leading example of best practice biodynamic farming. March is an exciting time of the year as it is the start of the harvest season. Winemaker Jeff Aston has brought his international experience to Tractorless Vineyard and now you have an extraordinary and rare opportunity to make your own wine! Immerse yourself over several weekends, spanning a couple of months, in picking grapes, crushing grapes, selecting a wine variety and then walking away with your own bottles of wine.
Tractorless Vineyard Winemaking Packages start from $3,000 for the Experience Winemaking Package, up to 6 people, and resulting in 60 bottles of your own wine. There are 4 fabulous stages to this experience:
1. Pre-Harvest – a special wine and food tasting to help you decide which variety of wine you would like to make, this stage is a 2 hours experience and can be conducted face to face in the Southern Highlands, or a virtual wine tasting can be facilitated.
2. Harvest Day – weather dependent, on a weekend during April, this stage is a half day experience in the morning (8am – 12pm) or afternoon (1pm – 5pm), including lunch (12pm – 1pm), engage in harvesting (picking grapes), and processing (crushing grapes). You will end up with a 50 litres demijohn which needs to ferment for 3-4 weeks. You have the option of taking it with you if you want to display it at home or work.
3. Maturation – this stage is another half day experience, on a weekend during June would be ideal, in the morning (8am – 12pm) or afternoon (1pm – 5pm), including lunch (12pm – 1pm). Remember to bring your 50 litres demijohn, which you will again have the option of taking with you if you want to display it at home or work.
4. Bottling – the final stage! Ideally on a weekend in December (just in time for thoughtful and personal Christmas presents), another half day experience, 10am – 3pm including lunch. You will then receive your 60 bottles (cleanskins) of wine – Mission Accomplished! Feel free to create your own wine bottle labels.
For the ultra passionate wine lovers or work groups we have an Ultimate Winemaking Package, up to 30 people, and resulting in 300 bottles of your own wine, $15,000 including label design. For the die hard wine lovers for an additional $5,000 you can use a new French oak barrel to mature your wine! With this package the Stage 1, 2 hours, wine and food tasting can be conducted face to face in Sydney or Canberra or in the Southern Highlands or for any other location a wine tasting can be delivered as a virtual event.
