2026 Harvest Report: Live from the Santa Lucia Highlands

The 2026 harvest is nearly underway in the Santa Lucia Highlands, and we're bringing you straight to the source. Join us live on Zoom for a real-time conversation with the growers and winemakers pulling fruit off the vines right now. Growers Adam Franscioni and Steve McIntyre will walk through what this season's cool coastal climate, wind, and fog have meant for the fruit, from bud break to this week's picks. Then winemakers Adam Lee of Clarice Wine Company, Moret Chavez of Moret Brealynn Wines, and Jim McCabe of Bernardus will take it from vineyard to cellar, talking crush decisions, fermentation, and what they're seeing in the tanks so far. Expect an unfiltered look at what harvest actually looks like in SLH and beyond this year: yields, ripeness calls, weather curveballs, and the decisions happening daily in the vineyard and winery. Bring your questions. This is a live conversation, not a webinar.
