Harvest season, Montana style!

Forget the sunshine and rolled-up sleeves. Around here, harvest sometimes calls for snow pants, winter gloves, and a few snowflakes falling between grape clusters.

But a little cold weather doesn’t stop Montana growers and w**emakers. It’s all part of the adventure of growing grapes in the Last Best Place. A little grit, a lot of layers, and plenty of love for Montana w**e.

Cheers to our hardworking growers bringing in this year’s harvest!

Harvest is officially making its way from vine to w**e at White Raven W**ery! These grapes are headed through the crusher as another Montana vintage begins to take shape. Can you guess which one?!

This is the part of w**emaking we love to see — a little bit wild, hands-on, and full of possibility. From fruit grown under the Big Sky to the w**es poured in your glass, every bottle has a story that starts right here🍷

Montana w**emakers are thinking outside the bottle!

Tongue River W**ery is trialing w**e in a can — perfect for fishing trips, hiking, and everything outdoors that Montana has to offer. We love seeing our members' innovation!

And an extra shoutout to Watchdog W**ery, who has mastered the craft of w**e-in-a-bag. We highly recommend you give them both a try on your next adventure!
