Create your very own barrel of wine that yields over 250 bottles! During the winemaking process, all barrel owners have access to the winery at City Winery and professional team led by winemaker David Lecomte. City Winery offers a selection of grape varieties from internationally renowned vineyards; currently members can choose grapes from California, Oregon, Washington State and New York in the fall, and fruit from Argentina and Chile will also be available in the spring. Barrel owners have the option to work closely with their wine specialists during crushing and de-stemming, pressing, fermentation, and bottling, or can simply choose to have their favorite grape variety crafted, bottled and delivered to their home: Each member can participate as much or as little as they desire!

Over the next six to twelve months, while the barrel is racked and the wine is aged in their climate-controlled facility, barrel owners may visit the winery to monitor the progress of their wines as often as they like, and barrel tastings are also open to favorite friends, colleagues and clients. Once aging is complete, it's time to bottle, cork and distribute the wine: barrel owners may customize their bottle with their own label, or work with our in-house design team. The final product is a personalized vintage to enjoy or gift for many years to come--over 20 cases of wine crafted for you, and by you!

This personalized winemaking service that allows you to participate hands-on in all stages of the process; includes four annual winemaker classes in which members participate in comparative tasting of their own wine and others' private labels.

The Kosher Barrel Ownership includes the above privileges plus complete Kosher winemaking process and 2 rackings with orthodox supervision; additional tastings or rackings will incur additional costs.
