As you’ll see, it’s a hands-on experience where participants get to do tons of fun—and sometimes messy—activities, like crushing and pressing grapes and even bottling and labeling the finished wine. From beginning to end the winemaking process takes about a year, and it’s a really great recurring activity for a group of friends, family, or co-workers. And if you’re not into getting down and dirty, we offer a variety of packages to fit the level of interaction that you’d like.
