Most people who have seen Wadley Farms probably only know that it is a beautiful place to hold a wedding reception. The vineyards are for more than just a nice backdrop. During fall you can go pick grapes, but they aren't the kind you will find in the produce section at the local grocery store.
This late in the season, the grapes are incredibly sweet and many of them have already turned into raisins on the vine. The manager will hand you some buckets and pruning shears to pick as much as you would like. There are several varieties, so we started at one end and move along the vineyard to get all the different types.
On Mondays you have the option of having your grapes cold pressed into juice or you can just take them home to enjoy them. We opted for the latter. If you are just brining them home, bring some bags to put them in after weighing the grapes, as bags are not provided.
We all helped out washing the grapes and removing them from the stems. We ran them through our juicer and then ran the solids through the juicer a second time to get every last drop out. What came out wasn't what we expected at all. We didn't filter it so we ended up with more of a nectar instead of the grape juice that you find bottled in stores. It was some of the sweetest, most delicious grape juice that we had ever tasted.
The whole process was a lot of fun and we will definitely be going back next year.
