Veraison - Onset of ripening

During this season, we are drip irrigating every 7 days, and as you can see in the far right photo above, we're starting to see color in the reds!

The center photo shows how the vines were "thinned" to help the grapes mature by creating more sunlight and airflow to the fruit.

We will start getting ready for harvest in a few weeks! Oh, and speaking of harvest... (see below!!!)


Save the Date!

We are excited to announce our first Annual Harvest Party!

Where: Barra Family Vineyards (Home of Mia Bea Wines), Redwood Valley, CA

When: Saturday, October 19, 2019


A Little Family History...

Our family is from the Piedmont region, meaning “at the foot of the mountain” and borders both France and Switzerland. The region is known for its wine, auto manufacturing (Fiat), fall truffles, mountain ski resorts and one of Italy’s greatest lakes, Lake Maggiore.

The other side of our family comes from The Hague (Den Haag), which is one of the most extraordinary cities in Holland. Not just because it is the government city, but also because of its many monuments, historic districts and its location near the beautiful North Sea coastline. The Hague is also known as 'the Royal City by the Sea’. Scheveningen, the best known seaside resort on the Dutch coast is also in this province. Our Dutch roots are responsible for our Love of butter, sweets and hot tea.


Medals!

We are proud to announce further recognition of our new vintages...
