PICKING and PICNICKING @ Glass House Winery, DAY #2 – Labor Day Monday, September 2nd

• 
  Come over and have a labor day picnic here! Our big grill will be on and ready to for you to cook up your picnic items — grilled meat, fish and/or veggies. Be sure to stop in the Tasting Room to pick up your favorite Glass House Winery wines and chocolates to complete your picnic. GRILL USE IS FREE — FIRST COME/FIRST SERVE

  PARTICIPATE IN ANY and/or ALL of the planned activities:

  12 to 4:30pm – CHOCOLATE AND WINE PAIRINGS (limited seating) *REGULAR CHARGES APPLY*
  ~ A guided chocolate and wine paired tasting
  ~ Reserve a time slot, walk-ins accepted based on availability

  1 to 5pm PICKING — bring your own clippers and containers

  ~ PICK YOUR OWN CONCORD GRAPES *FREE* :
  Concords last a good while when refrigerated. Learn the BEST way to enjoy Concords, and what a fascinating fruit they are.

  ~ PICK YOUR OWN HARDY KIWIS *FREE*:
  Small quantity harvest, but spectacular tasting. Not long lasting. Few people have had hardy kiwis, which taste mostly like kiwis but look completely different.

  2 to 5pm BEHIND THE SCENES *FREE* :
  ~ Sample fermenting wine — fizzy and yeasty!
  ~ Grape Stomping — a chance to stomp some grapes (this activity will only take place on Monday). Maybe fun, maybe a bit gross, but you can say you’ve done it. By the way, there are places in the world — Portugal notably — where grapes are still regularly stomped. Often they hire local futbol teams to stomp back and forth in giant stomping bins.

  4pm VINEYARD WALK and TOUR *FREE* — with lots of info on how grapes grow.

• Having just completed a year of music study in Spain, singer-songwriter Genna Matthew returns to the tropics of Free Union. She’ll be entertaining all with her Indie Pop-Rock sounds, live inside the glass conservatory from 3 to 5:30pm.
  
• Singer-songwriter Genna Matthew’s indie folk-pop sound is both timeless and current, blending pure, sweet vocals with lyrics that strike a chord. She grew up in the lush music community of Charlottesville, Virginia, and was influenced from a young age by the sounds of the area’s Folk and Americana scene.
  Genna’s bittersweet writing sugarcoats wistful lyrics with layers of honeyed vocals and warm harmonies. Her latest EP, ‘My Old Habits’, released in 2016, features prominent instrumentalists including Johnny Stubblefield (Parachute), Sam Wilson (Sons of Bill), Chris Pandolfi (Infamous Stringdusters), Butch Taylor (Dave Matthews Band), and Matt Wood (Erin and the Wildfire).
  In 2018 she traded the Blue Ridge Mountains for the Spanish coast, where she is currently pursuing her Masters in contemporary music performance at Berklee College of Music’s Valencia campus. These travels have inspired her next EP, which features many of the talented artists she has met abroad, and will be released in 2020. ~~~~~
