A vineyard's worth of fruit, and an idea.
Every year the vineyard at Caldeira Estate produces beautiful Petite Sirah grapes.
This year, rather than dropping all of the fruit, we're exploring the idea of inviting a small group of local hobbyist winemakers and wine enthusiasts to harvest a portion of the grapes for their own winemaking projects.
The idea is simple: bring together people who enjoy making wine, learning about wine, and being part of the Livermore wine community. If there's enough interest, we'd love for this to become a recurring Caldeira Estate tradition.
What you'd get out of it.
Harvest by hand
Pick Petite Sirah straight off the vine in a Livermore vineyard — the fruit goes home with you.
Make it your own
Use the fruit for your own home or hobby winemaking project, however you want to make it.
Meet your neighbours
Spend the morning among other local winemakers and enthusiasts who care about the same things you do.
Be there first
This would be the first year. If it works, it becomes a Caldeira Estate tradition — and you were part of it.
