Oenocamp at Kramer Vineyards: Photo Essay

I just returned from the 2nd Annual Oenocamp at Kramer Vineyards, where I became part of the harvesting crew for a day.  Oenocamp takes place each year at the gorgeous hilltop vineyards at Kramer, where wine enthusiasts are given the chance to find out what it takes to produce sparkling wine at one of Oregon’s up and coming signature sparkling wine facilities.  With 30 years of Oregon winegrowing under their belts, the Kramer’s know what they’re doing when it comes to growing and producing fine Oregon wines.

I recently published a piece detailing the events of Oenocamp in my weekly Eugene Daily News column, Wine Down Eugene.  With limited space for photos and a whole load of gorgeous pictures to share, I decided to add a photo essay of the event onto WineJulia.com:
