Since 1903 this land has been cultivated by the Cassel Family. Brothers Craig and Chris are the 5th generation to harvest the bounty from this fertile land. As stewards of the land, we take pride in growing the highest quality grapes and hand crafting them into unique local wines.

Picking Concord Again
From the field to the crush pad, we had so much help today picking the Concord it was magnificent. That is, until the strong storms came across the valley. The weather was nice up until lunchtime today. After lunch, the skies began to darken and we had to call it a day at 2:00. Of course the weather passed quickly and by 3:30 we were able to get back into the field. Unfortunately our friend had scattered to the wind and we were left with just a few helpers. We worked until 6:00 and finished with 2 and 1/2 rows of grapes to pick tomorrow. We plan to begin picking tomorrow in the morning and hope to finish by 2:00. We are hoping that a few worker will be able to make it out to help tomorrow. It will be another long day with both Concord harvest and the Jazz festival in Harrisburg. This is the time of the year when we feel like we are always on the go. Thanks to everyone who has and is helping us out. We really appreciate it.
