At Carmelo Vineyards, we believe every detail of our estate tells a story—of craftsmanship, history, and connection to the land. As we welcome the New Year, we’re excited to introduce two treasured members of the Carmelo family: our beautifully restored 1978 and 1979 John Deere tractors.

From Farm Workhorses to Tour Companions

These vintage John Deere tractors were once the backbone of our estate, playing a vital role in the farming and cultivation of Carmelo Vineyard’s exceptional grapes. After years of hard work, they’ve been lovingly restored to their former glory, and now, they’re ready to share their charm in a whole new way.

Tractor Tours: A Unique Vineyard Experience

Climb aboard one of these iconic machines and take a journey across the stunning landscape of Carmelo Vineyards. Our restored tractors now pull the harvest trailer, offering guests an immersive tour of our property.

Here’s what you can expect on the Carmelo Vineyard Tour:

• Scenic Views: Ride through lush rows of vines and take in breathtaking views of the estate.
• Rich History: Learn about the history of Carmelo Vineyards, our sustainable farming practices, and the journey from vine to bottle.
• A Touch of Nostalgia: Experience the charm of these vintage tractors as they hum like new, proving they still “run like a Deere”!

Perfect for Visitors of All Ages
