Process & Sessions are as follows :

Open Houses
At this time, you can come and taste all the wines that our customers made at our facility, receive the new Price List & Menu of Grapes, as well as, the opportunity to place your order. Orders for grapes are taken during these months.

September/October:
California Grapes

Crushing/Pressing
You will be scheduled to crush/press your grapes. White wine requires one session; Red wine requires two sessions.

December: Racking
Wine gets siphoned from the barrel and is cleared of any sediment. Wine is returned to the barrel and topped off.
January: Tap Your Barrel Party
This is where the customers come and taste their wines for the first time since they've been "crushed/pressed" and "racked". Great Fun!
March/April:

You will be notified of what grapes we will receive and you can then place your orders.
Crushing/Pressing:
You will be scheduled to crush/press.
(Process same as CA grapes)

May-July:
California Wines

Bottling:
You will be scheduled to come in and bottle your wine(s) to take home. Our favorite time of year!
Note: Minimum order is 1/4 barrel. Those who make less than a full barrel are placed in a barrel (to share) with others making that same wine. There is much more flexibility in making a full barrel, so you may want to try to get friends/family to go in on your own full barrel.
