Great Bear Vineyards in Davis writes:
We are well into veraison – the colors, flavors and sugars are starting to build. The vineyard and grapes are looking wonderful. Awarded Best Micro Winery at the California State Fair in 2024 & 2025.
We harvest the grapes at night (11pm-5am), so you will be able to collect them in the morning. You can pick up whole cluster on most days or we have crusher/destemmer available to Sacramento Home Winemakers members on one Saturday morning for each varietal – exact date for crush will be confirmed closer to harvest.
1) WHITES (Chardonnay) – $1 per pound
2) ROSE – $1 per pound
– Cabernet Sauvignon (pick at end August). Our 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon Rose was awarded 99-Points at the California State Fair!
3) REDS
– Cabernet Sauvignon (pick at end September) – $1 per pound
– Malbec, Tempranillo, Petit Verdot, Tannat – $1.50 per pound
We will have specific Saturdays when we will crush/destem for home winemakers. Or you can collect whole clusters on almost any date.
If you are interested, please let us know the varietal and the quantity.
We will send you an invoice for 50% to secure the order volume (non-refundable). The balance payment 50% will be due on the day you pick up.
