Join us for a fall hike at the Augustine Property, a beautiful 80-acre privately owned natural area in West Farmington. We’ll explore its fields, forests and wetlands, enjoying the quiet beauty of the landscape as it settles into late fall. Following our morning walk, we’ll caravan to nearby Laleure Vineyards in Parkman for lunch and a sampling of their wines, which are all made from grapes grown on the property. Growing their own grapes enables Laleure to control all aspects of quality from the ground into the bottle. The wines made are truly representative of the local terroir and of its northeast Ohio location.

Advanced registration is required. Transportation is on-your-own.

Fee: $30/person, includes naturalist-led hike, assorted sandwiches, chips and cookies for lunch, and a comprehensive wine tasting with the wine makers. Attendees are on their own to purchase glasses and bottles of wine.

Location: Directions to the protected property will be sent to registrants. It is in West Farmington. Laleure Vineyards is at 17335 Nash Road (Route 88) in Parkman, Ohio 44080.

Leaders: Judy Semroc, Naturalist and Field Biologist and Renee Boronka, Director of Conservation Education
