Walnuts at our Vineyard Tasting Room
U-Pick Walnuts
DURING BUSINESS HOURS, THRU END OF NOVEMBER
La Mesa Vineyards, 13200 Shenandoah Road
Bring your own 5-gallon bucket(s) and head out to collect some of our fabled Franquette walnuts while they are fresh fallen on the estate. No charge for walnuts you collect for yourself.
Nothing beats a Franquette. Unlike store-bought walnuts, these are soft to the taste and have none of the bitterness found in other varieties. Ask us for recipes (homemade walnut butter, smoothies, dessert toppings, etc).
Let us know you are coming by making a reservation, and mention in the notes that you would like to collect some free walnuts. Enjoy wine tasting and weekend bistro afterwards.
BRING YOUR OWN BUCKETS.
