Into the Vines with Aurora Cellars

July 20, 2024

Ever wonder how the wine gets made? Curious minds can join Drew Perry, Aurora Cellars’ head winemaker, in the vineyard on Sunday, July 28, at 11am. Attendees will take a tour of the vineyard to see young and old vines, grape crops ripening for the harvest, and sustainable farming practices at work. (Be sure to wear proper clothes and shoes for the outing!) You’ll also enjoy a picnic lunch and several of the award-winning wines Aurora has produced over the years. Perry—who has been with Aurora since 2014 after stints in Napa and at Traverse City’s Left Foot Charley—will answer questions and share stories about the winemaking process. The outing (including lunch) is $65 per person, or $60 for Aurora club members. Visit auroracellars.com/events for tickets and to learn more.
