Welcome to Thomas Kruse Winery!

I am personally delighted when people take an interest in our endeavors and I like to show people what we do in the vineyard and in the winery. Visiting at different times during the year people are able to watch pruning and caring for the vines, harvesting the grapes, crushing, fermenting and pressing. Some days we are bottling and that's fun to watch too. Probably the most onerous task is applying all the labels. It's why my kids ran away from home vowing never to become winemakers.

We hope to make a visit to us a memorable and happy experience. We like to share our experience and the fruit of our labor with you.

Thomas Kruse Winery Calendar

BYOB Saturday January 14th

On Saturday, January 14th we are going to be doing another of our famous "Bring Your Own Bottle " events. The time is from 11:00 am to 4:30 pm.

UPCOMING EVENTS!!

Once again, I am planning our annual vineyard class. This is an all day class for the person thinking about planting a vineyard or even a few backyard vines. In it, I explain all of the things you need to consider and do. It will most likely be in February.

After that is the barrel class. We will take a 60 gallon barrel apart (remove heads) and shave it and toast it. This will give you the confidence and knowledge you need to work with barrels.

And the home winemaking class is last. I will do it in the spring and show you the equipment and knowledge you need to make your own wine. We'll taste the wine made in the previous year's class. If you have an abundance of homegrown fruit and have always wanted to try your hand at winemaking, then this is a must for you - pardon the pun.
