Vineyard Info

September 3rd, 2006 grapelog

Our vineyard is planted in a small plot in our backyard. We have setup 6×6 spacing so we have room for 36 vines. In the spring of 2004, we planted 13 Marechal Foch vines and 3 additional Sabrevois vines (bareroot). In the spring of 2006, we planted 3 Marquette vines. The vineyard layout chart below has been updated to reflect the changes.

See the areas below for information about the layout of our vineyard and the varieties we grow – we have focused mainly on cold-hardy varieties (Swenson and U of MN) at this time. If you are interested in reading about our trellis design, check out our new trellis page.
