ADOPT-A-BARREL

When we started making wine in 1994 – and we can hardly believe it has been so many years - we found ourselves in need of cash to buy our French oak barrels, a year before we had wine to sell. We looked for people to “Adopt” barrels for us, and when the wine was ready, we had a big dinner party to celebrate. This small and intimate program has been such a great success, and for us, transformed customers into friends.

In its 31st year, our Barrel Adopter Program is more than your basic wine club. It is a futures program for our 2024 vintage wines, and comes with additional benefits such as:

  • 33% off all wines purchased from the winery

  • Complimentary tasting for up to four people when you visit

  • An invitation for four to our Barrel Adopters Welcome Reception in August, 2025

  • An invitation for two to our fabulous Annual Barrel Adopters Dinner in May, 2026. The cost of the dinner is not included in the program cost and will be announced in early 2026.

The table setup including glasses, menus, flowers, and more at our 2025 Barrel Adopters Dinner featuring golden cast cellar tanks in the background, fairy lights, and barrels.
