Learn the basics of fermenting grapes and other fruits to make wine
One of the most ancient processes of fermentation produces one of the world’s favorite beverages. Ron Leasman from Long Prairie, owner of Leatherwood Vinegary, will teach the basic process of making wine. The first session will be held at the Creamery on Saturday, April 12 from 10 am to 2 pm. Enrollment in this class is limited to 6 persons, and each student should expect to take home 15 to 20 bottles of wine.
