We are thrilled and honored to feature local artist Eric Lucas, who has created a stunning piece exclusively for our Norton Wine Tour 2024 poster. His artwork vividly portrays Dr. Daniel Norton alongside a figure shattering a wine bottle, symbolizing the challenges of winemaking and celebrating the beautiful final product that emerges from this labor of love.

We are one of the participating wineries of the Norton Wine Tour that will have the Norton Wine Tour 2024 poster available during our event! Be sure to grab one during your visits—you won’t want to miss out on this collectible!
