The sun is shining here in Antioch. After two weeks of much-needed rain, the vineyard cover crops are growing fast. The vines, though still appearing dormant, are just a couple of weeks away from budbreak.
Budbreak is one of the most exciting times of the year for winemakers—it marks the true beginning of the season. It’s a time filled with anticipation and hope. What will the 2025 grapes be like? How will the hot summer days transform them from tight, bitter green berries into luscious, sweet fruit?
Of course, budbreak also signals the start of months of hard work, ensuring the vineyard is tended with care and precision.
Here’s to the 2025 growing season—hard work, optimism, and the love of it all!
