Journey to Harvest

It was an irresponsible adventure, a crazy roll of the dice, a sucker’s card game. Everyone who knew this typical suburban family expected them to continue forever living life between the lines—not soaring, without a net, onto a stratospheric tightrope.

Journey to Harvest takes you on the wild and wonderful ride of George & Greta MacLeod and their four children as they leave the suburbs and “real job” behind to pursue the madcap desire of reliving pioneer life, growing great grapes, making distinctive wines, and living forever on 50 abandoned, rocky and hilly acres in California’s Sonoma Valley. Forty years and many wine industry awards later, the land and the family have prospered. And at age 93, George MacLeod is finally telling the story of how they did it.
