August 7th 2012

The heat is on and the grapes are loving it :) you couldn’t ask for a better year of growing… I am excited to taste this years bounty. This will make a great wine :)

August 3rd 2012

The harvest this year will be incredible. The birds are already starting to hover. Watering will stop on August 20th &  the bird netting will go on! Your invited to stop by and see our progress :)

July 21st 2012

the vines are being very aggressive this year, by this I mean they are sending shoots across the rows and tying into each other! So as an experiment and after talking to a couple of vintners  I am hedging (cutting back all the shoots and placing the energy into the grape) I will let you know how this works :)

July 9th 2012

Good morning… We are looking for artist who would like to place their work in our shop for 2-3 months on consignment… as we are developing our yearly store. This would be from mid August to the end of October . We do get a lot of people harvesting and this would be a great opportunity to show & sell your work.

July 6th 2012

The heat is on… with all the amazing growth this spring mixed with inches of rain… and now the heat… this will be a spectacular growing season!! Call us for a tour or to set up a class on everything from propagating your cuttings, water & trellis design to making a fine wine! Call Glen 509-270-1610

June 29th 2012

all I can say is wow! The vineyard is up, color is great, second pruning was fast and very successful… suckers are all gone :) Please feel free to visit us!!

June 21st 2012

It’s time! If you haven’t cleaned your plants, you should do it now!! Don’t be nervous… too much fruit will delay or even ruin your crop. So go out to your plants and remove all the suckers (these are growth that you don’t need or want that steel the energy from the main vines)

Questions feel free to call us :)

June 11th 2012

Plants are doing great… weird weather the 2nd frost we had did not effect the vineyard at all ( the plants were all wet from a downpour right before the frost came) Thanks GOD!!

June 2nd 2012

The Last of the planting is being done this weekend… then it is plant thinning :) Grape Questions? E-mail us info@grapehousevineyards.com

May 29th 2012

We are growing!! I was afraid for the frost earlier this month… we had a light frosting and lost 5% of the buds that were starting early… but the vines are back with a vengeance…Our harvest  should be around the first week of September… please come back and check our brix count  starting In August. We will be checking the Brix every three days.

May 7th 2012

Just got back from Canada... Got some more varietals of grapes... Boco Noir, Marechal Foch, Frontenac, Reliance and others...to add to our ever expanding Vineyard... Tired... but I have to get the Pruning done... so off to the field I go on this cloudy Saturday...

March 16th 2012

This morning I am heading to Deep Roots Winery in Northport Wa. I am Visiting Confidence & Devotion Isreal and also gathering 200 Boco Noir Cuttings and a couple of other varietal's that we will be trying in our Vineyard and will be selling plants and cuttings in the next 2 years!  

March 15th 2012

March 13th 2012

Wow what a beautiful day!! Pruned 13 rows and the plants are all healthy. Cuttings are now available and we do ship to areas in the USA!

March 5th 2012

We are starting our pruning this week! Be sure to call us to reserve your cuttings & 1 year old Leon Millot Plants!

February 27th  2012

We made our decision! After lengthy research… Vinegar will kill the weeds!, with-out effecting our vines and keeping us on the organic side… this will be our experiment for 2012.. The only problem I found with this is that over time the acidity of the soil will rise and will have to be neutralized with gypsum.

February 23th  2012

Want to learn how to prune your vineyard? We are having classes in the early spring. Dress warm! Glen will work with you on the art of pruning...the why and propagation. This is an actual working class out in our vineyard, We will work with you as you are pruning our plants and discussing your grape questions. The cost of this class without the book... (from vines to wines) is $25.00 and with the book $45.00. Plus you will be able to take home a few cuttings! These classes will be available until the vineyard is completed :)

February 19th  2012

Thank you for all the recent plant orders… Remember they are bare root and 1 year old Leon Millot. Please call us or order on line… we are anticipating  the end of  March or April for  pick-up or delivery.

February 5th  2012

We had a great January and are looking forward to pruning in the early spring. If you would like to learn how to prune I will be giving classes as well as having pruning work parties (will trade cuttings for work!)… Please contact Glen @ 509-270-1610
