Personalized barrels for custom wines

Barrel Blending Option Winemaking year-round

The MicroCrush Barrel Blending option is a popular choice for groups or those visiting the area for a short time.  And, it’s available year round!
Here’s how it works:

Schedule your private blending session and let us know how many are in your party.

Spend a delightful morning putting your sense of smell, taste and mouth-feel to the test while you creating your blend under the personal guidance of our award-winning winemakers. Develop your perfect Bordeaux-style blend with ultra-premium Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Pause for refreshments.

We’ll walk you through your choices on labeling, corks and capsules, and you’re on your way. We’ll take care of the legal details and put your barrel blend together as soon as possible.

Depending on the vintage of the wine available during your blending session, bottling may take place from one month to one year later.  If you’re here in September, it’s likely that you’ll blend wine from the previous vintage which would then be bottled the following summer.  If you’re here in May, you may be blending a wine that will be ready to be bottled within a month or two. 

Cost is $6,500 for one barrel (approximately 24 cases, 288 bottles) of your ultra-premium Napa Valley Bordeaux-blend.
