Staff News November 19, 2015

The Zurschmeide Family would like to send Happy Thanksgiving Wishes to all the great people who make Bluemont Vineyard, Great Country Farms, and Dirt Farm Brewing such wonderful places to work. Thank you for creating an atmosphere that brings people back to our venues again and again.

We're launching a new feature at the beginning of the holiday season: a unified newsletter that will go to all three sister staffs every Thursday. We hope this communication tool will keep our teams informed about important matters at all the different venues and thus bring them into a better position to support each other. Let's make the most of a really good thing!

At the Vineyard

New signs

You may have noticed the signs on the property were changed to reflect our winter hours. The signs currently state that the Last Tasting is at 4:30, and the Last Pour at 4:45. If a guest comes in after 4:30 for a tasting, please use your discretion to provide the best customer service. Feel free to contact your manager if you're not sure whether to pour a tasting after 4:30.

Great Season

We'd like to thank everyone on our excellent staff for making 2015 our best season ever! From the record strawberry harvest, through the nine week peach miracle, right on up to the day Columbus and his thousands of Eastern Mariners discovered Bluemont, all of you made people glad to be here. Thanks for your great work!

Next Up
