Santa Ynez Barrel Wines
We are so excited to have this awesome opportunity to let you become a strong and intimate part of the wine-making process at McClain Cellars. Come and enjoy our barrels of wines from our Santa Ynez Valley winery. You can make a wine, taste some vintages, and fall in love with the experience of being a winemaker for a day. So grab your significant other, friends, and family, and get ready to blend your own bottle of our “stupid” good wine.
Every guest will have an opportunity to really get their hands and palate in the winemaking process. We only offer red wines to blend with at this time. If, however, your guest would like to try tasting some white wines… we have you covered. You will barrel taste 5 different red wines that are in barrel and aging. We will gather these wines into small sample jars with you and work with them in our temperature-controlled warehouse. We will also supply you with beakers for measuring, a notepad to write down what you like and do not like, and a glass to sample with. You will then start blending and tasting until you’ve created the ultimate selection.
Each guest will get 1 bottle of the wine that they created to enjoy at home. If you want more bottles of the same wine….. not to worry… you can make more for an extra cost.
