Petroni Vineyards Sonoma Valley

The Art of Winemaking

Petroni Vineyard’s winemaker,
Martin Mackenzie, offers study groups
every other Wednesday at Petroni Vineyards from
10:30am until 12:00pm.

Martin’s love for wine has led him around the world and back to us with a wealth of knowledge about winemaking techniques and grape varietals. The Wednesday study groups will focus on how to assure that each wine made reflects the terroir from which it came.

Your time will be well spent with:

A tour of our vineyard with an introduction to
Viticultural practices;
Then back into the Winery to learn about machinery required and processing techniques.

An exploration of:

When, where, and how extraction proceeds;
and the delicate balance required during fermentation.
Also, to macerate or not to macerate.

Ending the session with questions and answers and a quick bite to eat, and of course, a sip of our unique estate wines.
