Burning of the Canes - September 21st

Burning of the Canes – A Timeless Vineyard Ritual

The ritual of burning vineyard canes has long been a cherished tradition in winemaking regions around the world.

It symbolizes renewal, resilience, and the cycles of the vineyard—honouring the work of the growers and the bounty to come.
