Grassini Family Vineyards wine experience: create your personal estate wine in an exclusive private cellar in Santa Ynez

You and eleven (11) of your new best friends are invited to join Katie Grassini and the winemaking team at her family’s estate winery in the Santa Ynez Valley for a barrel tasting in a private cellar. Here you and your guests will be able to taste several lots of wine allowing you to eventually craft your own unique barrel of wine.

Your group will be taken through the aging, blending, and bottling process at this private vineyard located in the stunning Happy Canyon AVA. The experience will begin in the vineyard itself, where you will tour the various blocks to better understand the grape-growing process. Afterwards, you will be treated to a sit-down blending seminar where you will taste multiple barrel samples to help you determine your final blend.

You will come back to the estate after the aging process is completed to taste the newly bottled wine and leave with your 25 cases to share (or not) with your friends and family. The Grassini Family has never offered an experience like this before and may not ever offer it again, so get your table together and raise your paddle.
