Dorner Family Vineyard Construction Update

Construction has begun on the muchanticipated Dorner Family Vineyard Winery, Tasting Room and Rental Cottages. A little cheer went up in the Dorner household on Aug 1, 2016 when the building permits were finally approved and stamped by the county. Construction began in earnest the following week with giant land-moving equipment and crews of construction workers arriving daily. All excavation, as well as the winery foundation and block walls are now complete.

In addition to the flurry of construction, and the weekly weddings at the venue, five new stainless steel winery tanks have arrived from Germany, and are sitting waiting to be filled with the vineyard's Riesling and Zinfandel wine once the grapes are harvested in the next couple weeks.

Nope, never boring around here! Completion is still anticipated for Spring 2017. Stay tuned.
