Making your own wine with First Crush is easy. Blend the convenience, luxury and fun with our resources and expertise, and you will experience the satisfaction of making your own wine -- a fabulous wine that you've helped craft, with your private label on it to add to your cellar, and share with family and friends.
Think of First Crush as "your" winery. We follow the same steps and processes as real, working wineries. The difference being that we make many of the decisions and do most of the work, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the fun of making wine and the joy of owning and serving it.
As a First Crush winemaker, you can be as involved as much or as little as you like. We have winemaking programs that offer varying levels of participation. Just choose the winemaking program that's right for you. Begin at harvest and follow the wine through the entire winemaking process, or begin your winemaking experience at a blending seminar.
The vineyards used by First Crush are monitored and chosen by our viticulturist, and the winemaking program is directed by a professional winemaker. We choose the vineyards and varieties, then monitor the growing of the grapes. We then let you enjoy the fun of participating in the creation of your custom wine through a variety of weekend experiences, winemaking workshops, blending seminars, and events.
Being a First Crush winemaker is like being a winemaker without the investment, commitment or headaches of owning a vineyard or winery!
The minimum amount of custom wine you can make is two cases...that's just two bottles of wine per month. The cost to make your own wine varies by program and ranges from $550 to $1245.00. Our Adopt-A-Barrel programs allow you to make 12 to 50 cases of wine and prices begin at $2,592.
