Harvest 2010
As harvest fast approaches, the vineyard almost seems to expectantly bloom in anticiaption of the year's potential yield. After a long hot spell, the grapes are looking excellent. It's at this point that the Vineyard Manager is looking forward to an Indian summer in September to maximise the quality.
Harvest is, of course, the most important time of year for the vineyard and Denbies holds many events to celebrate, including the popular Vine & Dine grape picking experience which runs throughout October. Details www.denbies.co.uk
Good write up in The Independent last weekend, detailing the challenges facing English wine makers together with success stories.

England's Largest Scarecrow Mosaic!
So, it's August already and time to have some fun! At Denbies it involves creating England's largest scarecrow mosaic and as the reporter on BBC Radio Surrey suggested in an interview this morning - are you mad and why? Such difficult questions which will hopefully be answered when we have our scarecrow mosaic (3m x 3.5m) standing high in the vineyard watching over the harvest! All are welcome to contribute to the mosaic, taking place every Thursday in the Kitchen Garden Farm Shop. This is a free event together with Pip's Nature Trail. And yes, a photograph of the mosaic will be posted for all to see! For additional Children's Activities visit the Family Events page |
