Winemaking Experience
Choose from over 20 wines in our engaging two-session winemaking experience. Guided by our expert vintner, you'll learn the basics of the winemaking process, create a wine that reflects your personal style, design a custom label, and bottle your very own handcrafted wine.
What to Expect
In the first session, our vintner guides you through grape selection, fermentation, and flavor decisions to craft your wine’s unique style. You’ll actively participate in stirring and testing, gaining firsthand insight into the winemaking process.
After your wine ages in our cellar, you’ll return to bottle, cork, and label your creation—taking home a personalized wine reflecting your choices and effort.
