Grape Escape℠

As the day unfolds, I'm hearkening back to this date in 1994, when 'RG' (ie Running Grape) made it's first appearance in our wine country and got things running for Grape Escape. My, what a ride it's been!

As 2020 comes to a close.. I find myself reminiscing about the good (customers, wineries, government assistance) and the bad (pandemic, smoke) experiences that came our way. Like everyone, we adjusted. For us, that meant downsizing (smaller groups for distancing) and like the wineries, setting up new protocols. In a snapshot (actually 9 snapshots), here's a brief Pandemic year history... 1 ) Pondering the future 2) First out of work project.. paint Grape Estate ceiling, then nap 3) Covid proof vans with acrylic barrier and pop out windows for better airflow 4) Get back to touring (Yahooo), here at Lenne and then 5) JK Carriere, 6 & 7) Smoked out Tours.. (Boo hoo) What to do? H'mm, let's use our Grape Estate space to host groups. Very cool! 8) Clean skies (Whew!) and back in biz..here with a visit to JL Kiff and 9) Resonance. All in all, we and our guests had great times (thank you wineries) .. and have no complaints. For those interested, we'll share a few more pics over the next couple of days of our 2020 greatest hits.
