During harvest, each cluster is also picked by hand. After
fermentation in small fermenters, each wine is drained
straight from the fermenting bins—called free run—and gives
the wine a smooth palate without harsh tannins. While the
winemaking team may sometimes add a bit of lightly-pressed
wine to a vintage for fuller mouthfeel, the focus is on creating
exceptionally high-quality, free-run wine. Wine critics and fans
of VanArnam Vineyards agree—the choice to specialize in free
run wine makes the winery's offerings something truly special.
Whether you want to sample VanArnam Vineyards' bold
Cabernet Sauvignon, or the Syrah, Merlot, Malbec, or Cabernet
Franc, a visit to the winery is nothing short of magical.
Throughout the year, the wine, the views, and events draw
visitors to the sloping vineyards and Tuscan-inspired winery:
Red Wine and Chocolate, the Spring Barrel Tasting, Catch the
Crush, and Thanksgiving in Wine Country.
