Tasting Room
Experiences
The Wine Foundry offers wine centric team-building and educational experiences for groups of 4 to 40. Each hands-on activity has you engage with actual winery equipment to explore a particular aspect of the winemaking process. Because the needs of your group are unique, we deliver seated or immersive experiences designed to engage, educate and entertain. We also design Custom Events, which bring the winery to your doorstep. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Just ask!

Tasting Lab
The Sensory Laboratory takes the process of tasting to an entirely new level. During this hands-on activity, we’ll don the lab coat and “Frankenstein” series of wines to dissect the roles of aroma, acidity, tannin and alcohol.
After unlocking each element of the tasting process, we’ll sharpen palates and synthesize the experience by sampling flights of award winning finished wines. If seeking wine geek certification, Tasting Lab provides all the tools necessary to break a wine down to nuts, bolts and sub atomic particles.
$125.00 per person; Group discounts available. 2 Hrs, 4 Guest Min.
Blend In
This 2-hour hands-on experience has you follow the same process our winemaking team uses to craft the award-winning wines produced at The Wine Foundry. In addition to learning how to dissect barrel samples from a winemaker’s perspective, you’ll use tools of the trade to craft several unique blends. Whether wine knowledgeable or wine curious, the Blending Experience is truly exciting and educational.
$125.00 per person; Group discounts available. 2 Hrs. 4 Guest Min.
Crush Camp
For individuals looking to roll up their sleeves to experience winemaking first hand, we offer Harvest Camps. This authentic cellar experience engages you directly with wines in production. We’ll explore each step of the production process while sorting, de-stemming and crushing grapes while managing fermentations. If you don’t mind purple fingers, wine-splashed clothing and truly want to learn how top quality wines are produced, this immersive experience will remove the veil to winemaking Oz.
$125.00 per person; Group discounts available. 2 Hrs, 4 Guest Min.
The Reserves
Bored with the same old tasting room experience? Pull back the cellar door for an authentic hands-on winemaking adventure at The Wine Foundry. Your behind-the-scenes experience starts in the cellar where we’ll lift the veil to winemaking Oz by working directly on wines currently in production. Following a lunch prepared with locally sourced ingredients sourced from Napa & Sonoma, you’ll be lead through an intimate barrel tasting focused on exclusive vineyard sites. You’ll gain an understanding of the different terroirs of Napa & Sonoma, and witness how the sense of place affects taste as wines evolve in the barrel. Next, we’ll explore the role of blending; which is considered the highest art form in winemaking.
This reserve experience and personal interaction with a winemaker is like nothing else in Sonoma or Napa.
Each participant will receive a bottle of a vineyard designated Cabernet Sauvignon.
$225.00 per person; Group discounts available. 4 Hrs, 4 Guest Min.
