Your
visit to Thistle Meadow Winery isn't complete until you've experienced
a personalized tour of our winery.
Tours generally take about 45 minutes to complete,
and offer visitors the chance to see the "behind the scenes"
process of winemaking up close. If you happen to visit us on a day
when we're bottling and you have some extra spare time, you may
even get a chance to help us bottle, cork, or label the wine that
you take home!
Depending upon your past experiences with wineries,
tours, and winemaking - from no experience to lots - we will do
our best to tailor the tour to fit your interests. For instance,
if you've never visited a winery before, we'll provide a high level
overview of all the various winemaking processes before we dive
into the tasting part of your tour.
Thistle Meadow Winery provides complimentary crackers,
nuts, or bread to help cleanse your palate between samples of wine.
In general, your tour of Thistle Meadow Winery will
cover the following topics:
- History of the winery
