Federweisser Festival at Winehaven!

The grape harvest is now over and the new wines are quietly maturing in our stainless steel tanks. During this special weekend, Winehaven will be embracing the German tradition of inviting guests to sample the new wine – directly from the cask! It’s not juice anymore, but it’s not finished wine either. Whatever it is, it’s delicious! Don’t miss the chance to enjoy the very best of fall at Winehaven!
