The 2026 Harvest
You helped make the vineyard’s next chapter possible.
Harvest is active, social, and guided by the vineyard. The work matters, but so does the community that gathers around it.
You helped carry the season forward
Every picked cluster becomes part of the next chapter in the winery. Harvest Helpers became part of that story.
You made the morning memorable
The work matters, but so do the conversations, laughter, shared lunch, and traditions created along the way.
The Harvest Helpers Experience
Come for the morning. Leave knowing more about what goes into every bottle.
Harvest is when the vineyard’s growing season becomes the winery’s next chapter. Helpers work alongside one another in the rows, see the vineyard at one of its most important moments, and become part of bringing in the fruit.
Vineyard experience is not required. Harvest Helpers include returning volunteers, first-time guests, families, friends, and people who simply want to understand the work behind the wine more closely.
Some helpers come for the vineyard experience. Others return because harvest has become part of their Fence Stile tradition.
A real part of the winemaking year
Harvest Helpers are not watching from the sidelines. They join a working vineyard morning when the fruit is ready to come in.
What Harvest Helpers Do
A hands-on morning in the vineyard.
Help bring in the grapes
Harvest Helpers work alongside one another in the vineyard when the fruit is ready to come in.
No experience is needed
First-time helpers are welcome. The experience is designed for people who want to help, learn, and be part of the season.
Share the morning
Harvest brings together returning volunteers, families, friends, and guests who want a closer connection to the vineyard.
Stay for lunch
Harvest mornings include lunch, with snacks and refreshments provided during the experience.
Future Harvest Dates
The grapes set the calendar.
Harvest timing depends on the vineyard, weather, and ripeness of the fruit. Future Harvest Helper dates will be announced when the vineyard is ready.
That timing is part of what makes harvest authentic. Dates are not selected simply because they look convenient on a calendar.
Ask to receive future Harvest Helper announcements, and we will share the dates and participation details when another vineyard morning is ready.
When Harvest Returns
Come ready for an active morning outdoors.
Harvest mornings may begin cooler and warm up as the day continues. Helpers should wear layers, choose comfortable outdoor shoes, and come prepared to spend the morning in the vineyard.
All ages are welcome with parental guidance. Final arrival, weather, and participation details are shared when a future date is confirmed.
