Life on the Farm
Every month has its rhythm. Follow the life of L'Argo through the year — and plan your visit around the moments that matter.

Olive harvest & pressing
The olives are gathered by hand. Cold pressing produces our first oil of the season.
Cellar work — ageing & racking
The wines from harvest rest. We monitor, taste, and wait.

Dormancy — the land rests
The vines are bare. The farm is quiet. The best time to visit for silence and solitude.

The most important conversation of the year — shaping each vine for the season ahead.

Pruning continues + soil work
We finish pruning and begin preparing the soil. The land wakes slowly.

Waiting & watching
The heat of August. We watch, taste the grapes, and wait for the right moment.

Vendemmia — harvest 🍇
The most important event of the year. Grapes are picked by hand. Come and join us — this is the heart of L'Argo.
