Blending & Barrel Tasting

Part of the fun of making wine with Vintners Own, is tasting your wine as it matures in our French and American oak barrels.

Wine aged in toasted barrels is enhanced with the addition of oak derived overtones which flavor your wine. At Vintners Own, our staff has a time tested understanding of wine and barrel pairing which allows us to help you make the best barrel “toast decision”. As your wine ages over a period of 6-18 months, our staff will conduct regular testing and racking to ensure its clarity and character. Stop by yourself and taste your wine as it changes over time!

Blending Program

Get Hands-on experience building your own Bordeaux Blend. 
Vintners Own next Blending Session takes place May 22nd, 5-6 p.m.

While much of the winemaking process is scientific, blending is where artistry comes into play. Blending produces more complex wines with better flavor, structure and color. Vintners Own blending sessions provide you with an insider's perspective on winemaking.

Our two-hour programs focus around building quality Bordeaux varietal blends. Our wine educators guide you through the steps professionals use to determine what goes into bottle. You'll get hands-on experience, evaluating base wines for aromatics, flavor and texture. You'll then build on this knowledge to create your own unique Bordeaux blend.
