Choose
Our American Wine Society certified instructors will guide you through choosing the perfect varietal. From the rich and robust reds to the crisp and refreshing whites, we offer a wide variety of grapes for you to choose from, including the finest fall varietals.
Crush
Experience the timeless art of winemaking with state-of-the-art hydraulic presses! Our grapes, including the exquisite fall varietals, are crushed and destemmed simultaneously. The pressed juice will flow through perforations and into the barrel, bringing the essence of the autumn harvest to your wine.
Wait
Within our rustic wooden interiors, your wine will undergo its transformation, shedding suspended materials like yeast, skin particles, and more. We invite our winemakers to be present during the racking process, ensuring the unique character of the fall varietals shines through.
Sip
Your carefully crafted wine, enriched with the flavors of the fall harvest, is now aged to perfection and ready for you to take home. Fill and cork your bottles, and add a personalized label for that finishing touch. Share it with good friends, savor it with great food, and raise a toast to your own creation! Salut to the delightful taste of autumn.

BUNGS and CORKS: WHAT ROLE DO THEY PLAY?
1. What is a Wine Bung? A wine bung is a stopper used to seal the opening of a wine barrel. It keeps oxygen, contaminants, and pests out, while allowing proper aging, storage, or fermentation. The bung also makes it easy for winemakers to access the wine for sampling, topping off, or adjustments. 2. What is a Wine Cork? A wine cork is a stopper traditionally made from the bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus suber), primarily grown in Portugal and Spain. Corks are used to seal wine bottles, keeping oxygen out while still allowing tiny amounts of air exchange that can benefit aging wines.
WHAT IS "BRIX" IN WINE?
Brix is a key metric in winemaking that expresses the sugar content of a liquid solution. It is used for determining harvest timing, estimating potential alcohol, and monitoring fermentation. It’s always used alongside acidity and taste to ensure balance in the finished wine. • In winemaking, it tells you how much sugar is present in grape juice, must (crushed grapes), or fermenting wine. • It’s crucial because sugar is what yeast converts into alcohol and carbon dioxide during fermentation.
