About This Tour

The harvest starts at first light, before the sun warms the slope.

You join the team with a basket. The farmer walks you down the first row, showing you what red looks like — and what 'almost' looks like.

By the second hour your hands are working faster. Your eyes are sharper. You start to see the difference.

By the time the sun is high, you've picked enough to fill a basket and earned the breakfast waiting back at the house.
