Follow the lifecycle of winemaking through three exclusive events. Experience the essential stages of wine production: Picking, Pruning & Bottling, while enjoying a 3 course lunch with paired wines. Join us for one or all events. Tickets limited.
Picking Day
Saturday February 15th 2025
9am-2pm
This is where we begin. We start early to capture the cooler part of the day. You’ll hand pick grapes, learning about the idiosyncrasies of this year’s vintage. After morning tea, we’ll head to the winery and start foot stomping. Discover the impact of whole bunch components, and varying times on skins. Finish up with lunch in the garden.
Pruning Day
Saturday August 23rd 2025
10am-2pm
Learn about the art of pruning and how it impacts future vintages. Then have a chance to pick up the pruning shears and give it a go. Back in the barrel hall over lunch, you’ll have the first taste of your wine. Owner, Sam Pfeiffer and winemaker Michael J. Corbett will talk you through the winemaking process including: fermentation, pressing, ’elevage’, malolactic fermentation and ‘soutirage’.
Bottling Day
Saturday November 22nd 2025
10am-3pm
Michael and Sam will catch you up on how your wine’s developed over the past few months. You will hand bottle and wax seal your own wine to take home, valued at $70/bottle. A uniquely designed label by KC Originals will include an acknowledgement to the entire Lap Around The Sun team. To celebrate the end of the experience we will enjoy a feast style lunch with a large array of unique wines.
