Harvest 2022 Information

All visits must be scheduled and approved before arrival.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Rack & Riddle. Unfortunately, we continue to see COVID cases increase rapidly in our area. At this time, in the interest of safety, we must respectfully require all Clients and Visitors to wear masks while at any of our locations, whether indoors or outdoors.

We will continue to assess the level of risk in our area and will update you all if there
are any policy changes.

2. All paperwork must be completed prior to grape delivery – quote signed, standard terms/agreement signed, current insurance certificate on file.
3. All additives, including yeast, should be delivered one week prior to scheduling so it can be logged in and available. A delivery area will be set up outside the lower entrance to the main building.
4. We will not have shaded areas or warehouse space available to hold fruit, so it is imperative that we adhere to delivery schedules.
5. Deliveries will only be accepted in ½ ton macro bins and 2-ton gondolas. The driver should bring a completed copy of our Grape Hauling Form.
