Learn the art and science of winemaking. We’ll start with a stroll through an idyllic vineyard for a firsthand look at the vines. As we walk the rows, I’ll share why this area is the perfect place to grow Burgundy grapes, including pinot noir and chardonnay. Then, we’ll blend wines that have been aged in separate barrels to make a classic red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec Petit Verdot and/or Cabernet Franc. Each person will leave with a bottle of your creation! Other things to note Tom Meadowcroft, Andrew, or Elaine, will be your host. Bring comfortable shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and a camera. The Tour starts at 10am sharp!

Join us for a day at the sanctuary and meet a variety of rescued farm animals. We'll share their stories of resilience and healing and talk a bit more about the industries they come from. You'll love meeting our animal ambassadors and may be surprised at what you learn, since we so rarely see the animals in our food system. The Experience will last approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Please be mindful that as a sanctuary for rescued animals, our priority is the physical and emotional well being of the rescued animals who call Charlie's Acres home. Our loved animal residents are completely free and always have a choice as to whether or not they want to interact with visitors and will reside at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives, where we'll have the honor of taking care of them.
