100% Family Owned: A Look at our Tour of Macari Vineyards
By Gabriella Torcise
Fall is in full swing at the Macari Vineyards. We arrived to a beautifully colored backdrop of yellow, orange and red vines and a warm and welcoming family. The Macari family is passionate, devoted and excited about their wines, and they have all the reasons to be. The tour they took us on gave us an insiders look into the magic we find in their bottles- clean, pure and true grapes. The vineyards are tended to with homegrown fertilizer from their cows, goats and horses. They have more animals than that, adding pigs, chickens, turkeys and geese. The whole family is involved from the start of the vineyard soils to the wine they produce. The wines are carefully blended in such a way that it transforms from a science into an art, and the family comes together as a whole to decide this. It is truly a gorgeous winery with passion, heart and soul dedicated to the vines they produce.
