Shadow Springs Vineyard consists of 10.5 acres of grapevines with eight different varieties. Six varieties are French vinifera and two are French American hybrids. We chose this mix of grapevines to give our customers a wide variety of wines to please the palette. The trellis system we chose is called an open lyre. The "Y" shape allows us to split the vine into two sides. This helps control the vigor of the vine and gives us a larger harvest on a normal year. We have over 144 miles of galvanized wire in the vineyard.

We are also looking to share some of our passion for the vineyard with any customers wanting to adopt a grapevine. We are offering an adopt-a-grapevine program. For $45.00 you can adopt one of our grapevines for a year. This means you get to pick a vine from nearly 7000 in the vineyard. The adoptive person will receive an adoption certificate, a photo emailed during the growing season, an adoption tag next to your vine and two bottles of wine from that grape variety. Once the wine is ready you can pick it up at the tasting room or we will mail them to you for a shipping and handling fee. So come out and pick your vine or give it as a gift for that person that has everything.
