Dowsing: Finding Water in Adopt a Grape's Vineyard

Posted under Wine Country Lifestyle



When we bought the property here on Spring Mountain, we had two working wells. One gave out last year, but the remaining well is very strong and was able to provide enough water.

We are nervous about relying solely on that one well. Everything on the property relies on it. The vineyard, the winery, the gardens, even our home. So we wanted to dig another well. That is an expensive process, so to give us the best chance of finding water, I asked our Vineyard Manager, Jim Barbour for his advice. This episode of Adopt a Grape chronicles that experience. I hope you enjoy it!

There is so much to learn about the Valley. Day by day it's a new adventure in winemaking techniques, finding water, & simply raising a family in a small town. This is a great site to feature it all. Looking forward to the next film!
