in the vineyard

While our little kitten was busy getting into trouble on Saturday (see previous post) we were headed to a vineyard in Norman.

Our good friend mentioned a wine making class to us and we decided to try it out.

First we got to pick grapes from the vine.






Once the buckets were filled



The grapes were ran through a machine




And then put through the wine press




We added yeast and other stuff to our juice and it will ferment for a while and after several months we will have our own wine that we picked the grapes for ourselves.

There won't be very more opportunities like this to pick the grapes to make our own wine, but I think we are now interested in using wine kits in the future. This was such a fun experience. Thank you Shyla for sparking our interest in this class.

  1. I'm glad you guys got to go! We were sad we couldn't attend. It looks like fun. We will have to plan on it next year!
