What do you do when you become the new owner and winemaker of the winery you have been working at for the last number of years?

Obviously you open for the new season as soon as you can because you miss all of your customers, club members and friends and you want to have the opportunity to celebrate with all of them.

We are hoping that 2026 will be a year of growth, education (for me at least) and a whole lot of celebration with our entire Rucksack community. So let’s get the party started!!! This weekend, January 24 and 25, we will be open as a “preview” opening. The official season opening will be next week on January 30 and toward the end of February/beginning of March, we are planning a “Grand” opening party.  Plus…we hope that you can join us on February 11th at 5pm for our first event of 2026…our “Rucksack Date Night” with flowers, appetizers and wine!  Tickets for this event can be purchased by clicking right here.  https://rucksackcellars.orderport.net/wines/events-and-merchandise

So I look forward to seeing you all very soon and answering all your questions about what is coming up for Rucksack Cellars. Hopefully I will see some of you as early as this Saturday and Sunday.

Cheers! to 2026.
