Have you ever wanted to know what it was like to harvest grapes for wine? Well, here's your chance. A small, boutique winery, Charron Vineyards is opening up their harvest to friends of the Arizona Wine Industry. No experience or tools are necessary, but if you are an experienced picker, feel free to bring your own shears. And don't forget your sunblock and a hat.
They'll be starting at around 5AM and will finish around 1PM. Don't be put off by the early start time. It looks like there will be plenty of grapes to pick so even late arrivals can join in!
Help is also needed Friday night for pre-harvest activities.
