Scheduling
To set up a reservation to make wine all you have to do is call and we will help you find a time that will fit your schedule.
You may make wine by yourself or organize a group. We make wine everyday except Sundays. You may make a reservation Monday through Friday as early as 11 AM or as late as 7:30 PM and Saturdays as early as 9:30 AM or as late as 3:30 PM.
To ensure a comfortable wine making experience we suggest groups be no larger then 9 people. For larger groups, we can work in shifts making the wine or shift the operation out to the brewing area but this must be pre-arranged with us. As with the beer brewing, we find that it works best if one to three people share making a batch of wine. So for a group of nine, we would suggest at least three batches of wine. This also gives you the opportunity to each take home a variety of wines styles.
