IT’s Time to Make the Wine Again…Be Part of the Harvest at Shelter Rock Winery
“I love introducing people to the magic and joy of making their own wine,” said Petretta whose family has been making wine for over 500 years in Italy. Coming from this long line of Italian wine makers, it’s no surprise that Petretta chose to bring the gift of fine wine to the state at his urban winery, the only one in Fairfield County.
Petretta provides club members with grapes from top vineyards in California along with bottles, corks and personalized labels as well as equipment to crush, rack, bottle and store each member’s wine. “We like to think of this as family, says Giovanni,” members get together for wine tastings and catered events throughout the year. It’s more than a bottle of wine…it’s an experience”
This year’s Harvest begins in October however to be eligible for prizes, register before the end of July. The winery will be closed for three weeks in August, however, registrations can be done online or visit the winery for a tour when it reopens on august 27th.
