A fun day out for all the family
The first vendage (grape harvest) took place at Crawthorne Farm on Saturday 2nd October 2010. Our crack team of volunteer pickers managed to find 650kg of lovely Pinot Noir which is now pressed, settled and bubbling away in barrels to make our very first wine. The pickers did an excellent job, only taking the healthiest, ripest fruit and, as you can see from the note below, I think they enjoyed themselves.
“Hi Chris, Bobbie and I felt we would like to thank you and Justin
for the opportunity to be involved in the first year of the “finest
Dorset Champagne”. We really enjoyed the day , plenty of fresh air,
exercise and the BBQ was a lovely end to the day. It will go down
for Bobbie and I as one of life’s memorable days. Thank you again,
lots of smiles Jennie”
