Wine Country Out West
Grape harvests in Delta County occur between Mid-August to Mid October with most of the harvests occurring in September. Harvest is followed immediately by the crush. Many wineries will allow you to come and observe. Don’t expect to see women stomping grapes in big barrels as in the popular scene from an “I Love Lucy” episode, but you will be able to observe this unique part of the wine making business. Call your favorite winery to see when would be a good time to watch or even join in!
Ela Family Farms in Hotchkiss put on a great farm tour and lunch each year. It’s more fun for Delta County, Colorado
