Muscadines awaiting the harvest.
Owner, Janie Coppey, takes a moment during the harvest to feel the pride of her heritage, the family farm, which she and her husband Jahn, have converted into Wills Creek Vineyards and Winery.
Janie and Nathan position the gathering carts underneath the grapes as they continue the morning harvest.
Janie knocks loose the ripened muscadines and they fall into the cart. The muscadines filter down through the cart into a tray that is placed underneath the cart.
Once the trays of harvested muscadines are loaded, they are ready to be transported to the winery for processing
The Grape Smashing Festival offers an afternoon of festivities, plenty of food and a place to relax and have fun.
At the grape smashing festival, the contestants have 30 seconds to smash the muscadines. The contestant producing the most juice moves on to the next event.
The first place winner of the 2006 Harvest Festival's Grape Stomping Contest was 12 years old Summer Roberts who will return next year to defend her title as "Champion Grape Stomper.

My name is Janie and I am the vineyard master. We planted our first trial grapes in the backyard but soon discovered that neither Niagara nor Catawba and other American hybrids did well in the Alabama soil. The muscadines however grew healthy and enchanted us with their resiliency to the summer heat. Soon we expanded our vineyard to the top of the hill and we started planting only muscadines. The first fruits were sweet and we knew that by the following weekend they would be delicious, only to discover that the racoons had also found them out. Not to despair we said. " We will plant more than they can eat " and we did. Thus with four acres, we were in the business.

Wine Making Class:
Join us for a winemaking class at the winery. We will demonstrate how to make your own wine from a concentrate kit. The class is FREE, so come in even if you just want to learn about wine making.

We hold a class on the first Saturday of each month at 2:00 pm and it lasts for about an hour. Call or write if you need additional information.
