This series of seminars with Callaway's Winemaker, Craig Larson, will take you on a journey through various topics of winemaking and will include hands on instruction on vineyard management, the harvest and crush processes, fermentation, barrel aging and even how to taste, serve and store wines. You will also “adopt a vine” for the length of the course, track it’s growth and learn how to harvest and prune your vine when you attend the entire series.  You are sure to taste lots of wonderful Callaway wine and we guarantee that it will be fun and interesting along the way!

A Taste of Winter Seminar
January 23, 2010

       In Winter it’s time to prune the vines for their winter nap. Craig will take you into the vineyard and teach you why pruning is good for the vine, how to prune correctly and what to consider before snipping away.  This instruction will be followed by a relaxed tasting in the Chardonnay Room where topics like how to serve and store wines will be discussed.  In addition various bottle sizes and shapes will be viewed and you will learn what their shapes can tell you about the wine that’s in them.  We finish this series of seminars with a delightful tasting of our sparkling and dessert wines as well as our tawny port.  We will be pairing these wines with dessert, of course!  We send you home with a bottle of Callaway wine, two wine glasses, a collection of dessert recipes that pair well with Callaway wines and a certificate of completion.
