Harvest Frequently Asked Questions


What time should I arrive?

Check-in will begin at 30 minutes prior to harvest start time. We will have a brief harvest meeting prior to going into the vineyard.

Where do I park?

Please park in the normal parking lot of the Tasting Room.

What should I wear?

We suggest dressing in layers. Closed-toe shoes are required. The grass may be wet - wearing rain/muck boots or water-resistant shoes is suggested.

Where do I go once I arrive?

Follow the “Harvest Helper” signs!

What if it is raining when I am supposed to help?

Please call or text Abbigail at (217) 918-3575 to double-check that we are harvesting that day. Due to weather, we may not know until right before start time. Feel free to contact us to check!

What if I want to help more days than I am scheduled?

The more the merrier! Please call or text Abbigail at (217) 918-3575 if you would like to help additional days that you did not register for or if you will bring additional people with you - that way we have enough supplies ready for you!
