On Sunday we went to our first grape harvest since living in Italy. Aaron was gone last year during the harvesting time, so thankfully he was home this year. When I saw that our favorite winery {Le Pignole} was having a harvest party, I knew we had to go! I was nervous because the weather forecast called for rain during the entire party, but we braved the storm and went anyways.
Looking at all the grapes.
Luckily it didn't start to rain until we found a spot under the tent to sit and had a glass of wine and pizza to snack on. Connor didn't care. He wanted to run in the rain and play with "his kids." I'm so happy we brought his rain jacket because it came in handy!
Being a boy and getting dirty.
A big storm came through and everyone hid in either the winery or under the tent. It was pretty windy and pouring! Thankfully it only lasted about 10 minutes before passing. After that we had clear and sunny skies!
Chowing down on grapes while the storm is over us.
Aaron got in line for our food after the rain stopped. We ate split roast pork, beans, and bread. It was so really good! Connor even liked it. Then we ate gelato for dessert.
Since we were eating, Connor missed the harvesting for our grape stomp. That's okay though because we still got to stomp the grapes. That's what I was really excited about :)
It was really squishy.
Connor wasn't a huge fan of getting his feet dirty.
There was dancing throughout the party, but after the grape stomp Morgan was picked to dance. She took Connor with her and they did a traditional ribbon dance. Connor had fun and was able to keep up.
