2011 Harvesting at Silver Leaf

We've had a busy fall harvesting at Silver Leaf, but we're extremely pleased with this year's crop! Below are some photos from the harvest.

Art in the Vineyard Returns

Join us for Art in the Vineyard as we welcome back famous artist, Stan Fellows, July 27th through August 7th! Stan is back this summer for another 10 days of art workshops at Silver Leaf! He will be painting in the vineyard and conducting clinics on oils, acrylics and watercolors.

If you're not yet familiar with Stan's work, you would probably recognize it on some of our beloved wine labels. Stan Fellows has been an illustrator for over 35 years, painting for magazines, corporate clients, and children's books. Clients from the past few years include: Martha Stewart Living, Harper's Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, Smithsonian Magazine, Audubon, National Geographic, Field & Stream, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, NYU, Notre Dame, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, (what’s with all the airlines?...) Kiplinger's, Arts & Antiques, Simon & Schuster, and for six years he has worked monthly for the Wall Street Journal's Friday wine column (Whew! That was a lot!).

You can watch Stan paint while visiting our beautiful vineyard. Clinics will be limited, so make sure you call us to reserve your spot. For more information, call our tasting room at 231-271-3111. Cost: $45. Class details will follow soon.

In the meantime, check out a few of our favorite Stan paintings...
