Promo Code: GMB10 - Save $10 off any subscription order through 2015.
I'm going to apology in advance to all the Canadian readers out there since this box doesn't ship here because this box is amazing and I feel bad that you can't subscribe to it just yet!
The presentation and packaging are done with such apparent care! All the products come in a big crate and you're greeted with dried lavender tied with a ribbon on top of the info card!
Anette's Chocolates Chardonnay Wine Brittle
$11.95
Salty, buttery and crunchy, this sweet treat is great to take along on a hike or a picnic. Brittle isn't a favourite snack of mine, but since there's wine in it, I'm sure I'll enjoy it more lol!
Cate & Co. Olive Oil Crostini
$7
These buttery, yet delicate crostini are perfectly versatile for savoury tapenade or a variety of cheeses. I ate this with the next product and absolutely love it! The bag is pretty much empty now!
The Olive Press Artichoke Lemon Tapenade
$8
This is a chunky tapenade made with artichoke, lemon, and extra virgin olive oil. It was perfect with the crostini! I would definitely get this tapenade again! All I need a glass of wine now!
B.R. Cohn 15 year Balsamic Vinegar
$15.95
Following a millenium-old tradition, our Balsamic Vinegar of Modena begins with the juice of the Trebbiano grape simmered in copper pots and then aged for 15 years in small oak, cherry, mulberry, chestnut and juniper barrels.
I love balsamic vinegar and this one looks great! I'll try this with some extra virgin olive oil and baguette.
Cliff Family Kitchen Pistachio + Almonds
$8
Our Roasted Pistachios and Almonds are perfectly seasoned with rosemary and tossed in extra virgin olive oil to create an aromatic nut mix that pairs beautifully with Cabernet Sauvignon.
Yum, another snack that I really enjoyed! Usually I'm not crazy about rosemary on certain things, but the salt on the pistachios and almonds balanced it out nicely.
Hurley Farms of the Napa Valley Triple Berry Jam
$6.95
This is the freshest jam I've ever tried! My son who likes his strawberry jam declared this the best jam ever! The berries are so ripe and flavourful, you have to try it!
Krave Jerky Artisanal Cabernet Rosemary Beef Jerky
$9
I got way too excited when I saw this! We love jerky, so anytime we get it in a box we're very happy. When getting a price on this I discovered that Krave Jerky has a subscription and they ship to Canada! I think shipping is a bit pricey though, but I haven't fully looked into yet.
Matanzas Creek Estate Grown Lavender Potpourri
$9.50
A fragrant souvenir from the gardens of one of our favorite wineries in Sonoma.
The total value of this summer's Harvest Crates is $76.35. I'll admit I was sad to see a low value, but keep in mind that the cost of the box includes shipping which is a lot for a box like this and you get not only the amazing products that are all full size, but a reusable wood crate. You could buy all the items individually, but you'd also be paying for shipping so I'm fine with the value of this box. Besides, I absolutely loved everything about it and all the products are exceptional in quality! I've never be to Wine Country, so it was a real treat to try some of the local products from there. Harvest Crates was such a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend it! If you're interested, don't forget to use the $10 off promo code.
