The Vermilion Valley Vineyards currently provides its patrons fine wines, and where practical, locally produced foods in an energy-use-efficient building also designed to take full advantage of an exceptionally attractive natural setting. Beginning in March 2010 we will add Saturday opportunities to see and learn more about the wildlife and land-use practices on and close to our property on Gore Orphanage road. All of the off-site events will be conducted no more than two miles distant and well within the boundaries of the Vermilion River watershed. Many of the on-site events will be demonstrations of how we grow our grapes and other fruits and make and evaluate wine. Each demonstration and field trip will be combined with a light lunch to be served before or after the main event. Interested individuals are requested to reserve places by at least noon the preceding Friday.
Vermilion Valley Vineyards partner David Benzing who taught biology and environmental science for 41 years at Oberlin College will guide the field trips and oversee on-site exercises, such as “green pruning” and grape harvesting and processing. Professor Benzing will be guiding participants to many of the same field sites that he traveled with Oberlin students enrolled in courses such as field botany and plant taxonomy. Subjects will include local cultural history, geology, native fauna and flora, invasive and alien species, and conservation and agriculture as currently conducted in our watershed. Weekly postings on this website will provide background for each coming event plus tips on how participants should dress and prepare for contingencies such as mosquitoes, rough ground, or high water.
