Your wine. Your label.
Your story.
Ever wanted to make real wine? Not watch someone else do it–actually crush the grapes yourself. That's what happens here. You'll go from crushing imported grapes to bottling 240 bottles with labels you design. We've walked over 1,200 people through this process since 2010, and most had zero winemaking experience. Bring your crew. Make something real.
Make Wine on Long Island Wine Country
We've been doing this in Hicksville since 2010. Most wineries give you a tasting and a tour (maybe you get to see the barrel room if you're lucky). Here? You're crushing grapes. Pressing juice. Tasting straight from your barrel as it ages.
The big difference is scale. While other places offer 28-bottle batches, you're making 240 bottles minimum. That's wedding-level volume. Or enough to sell to your friends and family. Some of our winemakers turn their barrels into side businesses. Your wine, your call.

Winemaking - Barrel Experiences
This takes four visits over a few months. First, you'll crush California or Chilean grapes during fall harvest. Week later, you press the fermented juice (it smells incredible, by the way). Then comes the waiting.
Your barrel ages for 6-8 months. You'll visit to taste and adjust. By bottling day, you're not just taking home 240 bottles–you actually understand what you made. Why Merlot softens Cabernet. What oak aging does to tannins. The science behind fermentation.
Groups of 6-12 work best. Split the cost, split the wine. Many people use their bottles for corporate gifts or sell them at cost to friends. We've seen people turn this into actual businesses.

Blending Workshops
Not ready for the full barrel? Try a 90-minute blending workshop. You'll sit in our barrel room (stays 55-60 degrees year-round, so bring a light jacket) and taste single varietals blind before mixing your perfect blend.
We run California Cabernet sessions, Italian varietals, and Chilean wine workshops. Each uses wines we've made here from world-class vineyards. You'll learn why a splash of Merlot changes everything about Cabernet, or how Sangiovese brightens a blend that tastes too heavy.
Walk out with one custom bottle labeled with your exact blend specs. Perfect for date nights, team building, or curiosity.
