The Full Barrel Experience

 

Producing a full barrel of wine (between 22-25 cases of wine) is the ultimate experience!  You can “be the winemaker” for the base price of $6000.  A portion of that is the education and the rest is the wine itself, which will be taxed appropriately when you remove the wine from our facility.  There are upcharges for various decisions that you may make along the way, but all points are discussed in detail with the winemaker to determine whether it is necessary or desirable.  We will not let you make bad decisions!

 

Does the number seem a little scary?  Read on!

 

Learn more about becoming a winemaker for free!  That’s right – call, e-mail or stop by and we will be more than happy to show you around. You can choose to take part in one of our wine tasting educations or look into the many options we have available to get you your own barrel, 1/2 barrel or cases of wine.

 

No matter what level of winemaking you decide upon, we will provide you with the guidance you need to fit your lifestyle with flexible payment options.
