As the vineyard starts to change into shades of yellow, orange and red, and the cellar starts to fill with fruit from the 2007 harvest, we here at Byington hosted our annual Harvest Festival. This year we were again blessed with a beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains day. There was a crispness in the air, but the sun warmed the guests out on the front lawns. The wine flowed from our tasting room as well as the library tasting set up on the North Lawn.
Festival goers came out in droves to partake in the annual grape stomp. Children of all ages participated in the face painting which added to the festivities of the day. Alexandra's Catering made sure that no stompers went hungry with her delectables from the grill. We all grooved the day away with the sultry sounds of the Stan Erhart Band.
We want to thank everyone who joined us and contributed to a wonderful day. The cellar crush is still happening, so if you missed out on our event, be sure to stop by and check out the action in the cellar.
