Harvest 2024 has officially ended in Sonoma County, and there’s a collective agreement across the wine community that this may be one of the best vintages we've seen in years! For the second time, we brought together growers and vineyard teams from across the county to share insights and stories, capturing what makes harvest such a special time of year for them in our bilingual harvest recap video. With favorable weather, the season followed a more typical harvest schedule, bringing a beautiful crop that has both growers and winemakers excited for the upcoming vintage. "It was a very smooth, high-quality, and fast-paced harvest. It started and stopped without any incidents to remember," noted Bret Munselle, Owner of Munselle Vineyards and SCW Board Chair.
