Private Screening: Immigrant Grapes: Odyssey of Forbidden Wines by Lucie Morton at DuCard Vineyards

Join us at 5:30 PM on Sunday, November 22 for a special private screening of Immigrant Grapes: Odyssey of Forbidden Wines, a new film by viticulturist, author and now filmmaker Lucie Morton. The film follows her personal quest to bring the Cunningham grape back to its ancestral home on her family’s farm in Tidewater Virginia. This fascinating journey includes grapevine science, politics, intrigue and romance. Her odyssey took her across the US and across the Atlantic to the Azores, Madeira Island, the Cevennes Mountains of France, and southern Brazil. As Lucy ultimately becomes successful in repatriating Cunningham to Virginia, it will join Norton, which we have planted at DuCard and use for our Norton varietal wine, our C’est Trop port-style wine and the fun and funky Dorothy’s Slippers rosé, as the only other surviving Virginia native grape.

And yes, DuCard Norton will be available to sip while enjoying her presentation.

Tickets are $10 and can be paid at the door. Space is limited so please make your reservations by emailing Beth at beth@ducardvineyards.com
