Down to Earth Month is the perfect time to take advantage of sustainable winery picnic amenities and enjoy the vibrant biodiversity of flowering cover crops that naturally nourish the vineyard floor and invite local pollinators back to the estate. To make your picnic easier, we’re offering a free Life’s a Picnic e-book with spring recipes and wine pairings.
