Be Mine With Wine
February 14, 2009, 9am - 5pm
$12 per person, includes tasting glass.
Wine, strawberries, and sweets... Spoil yourself or someone you love with Keswick Vineyards' special wine and dipped strawberry tasting for a Valentine's Day indulgence.
Keswick Vineyards will go beyond mere wine and chocolate by pairing delicious hand-dipped strawberries prepared by head chef Jason of Glenmore Country Club with our award-winning wines.
Discover how these luscious strawberry confections complement each wine - for example, try our 2008 Viognier Reserve with a white chocolate dipped
strawberry coated in almonds or our 2007 Cabernet Franc with a dark chocolate dipped strawberry coated in espresso beans.
After your tasting, enjoy the romantic setting while you savor a glass of wine and take a guess at how many candy hearts are in our Rosé bottle to win a free future tour and tasting for you and your sweetheart.
Reds, Whites, and Bluegrass
At our Reds, Whites, and Bluegrass event held on the 4th of July the Rockriver Gypsies put on a great show for our picnickers. Our guests were encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy the holiday with a glass of Keswick wine. A good time was had by all.

Educational Barrel tasting and tour
Group barrel tastings and tours offer a behind the scenes look at how wines are cellared and aged. These include a tour of the wine cellar and detailed information from the winemaker on the art and intricacies of winemaking. The tour ends with a barrel tasting of assorted wines.
Harvest events and tasting (seasonal)
This event consists of a group visiting the vineyard and learning about how grapes are grown and processed and how they are made into different wines.The tasting would be done outside the cellar due to the harvesting process and would have to be coordinated very closely with the winemaker.
