Crushing It at Liberty Lake Wine Cellars

Our 2019 harvest/crush season officially started September 21st with a 5.9-ton load of Merlot grapes from Scooteney Flats Vineyard. That’s almost double any other varietal we’ve harvested at the winery to date! Next up is Syrah, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and our other 8 varietals. October is going to be hopping with winemaking, and we’re always happy to give a tour (if we’re not in the middle of running the equipment). Be on the lookout for pop-up grape stomping and mimosa days. Follow us on social media to make sure you don’t miss out on a fun event!
